Hi, Myself and my wife recently went on holiday to Cyprus and found a dog breed we would really like to own but we dont know what it is. Here is a photo, hopefully someone can tell me what breed he is? Thanks
Hi I could be wrong but this looks like a cross breed to me. Maybe Dachshund cross springer. :? Beautiful pup though.
No problem! It`s a crossbreed, isn`t it? Very cute. Was he a street dog? If so, Greek Animal Rescue could possibly help. http://greekanimalrescue.com/index.htm
oh its a cross breed im pretty sure of that, not being a dog kind of person i wondered whether it was possible to discern what breeds they might be. thanks for the link i will have a look at that
Dachshund cross springer excellent thanks the kind of info i need. I will probably buy one for my wife at some point as a surprise but I wouldnt know where to start looking would everyone agree it looks Dachshund cross springer like? lol I do remember thinking he has abnormally large paws for the size of him
The trouble is, no two crosses of two breeds will be alike, just as no two children of a set of parents will be alike. Have a look round some Rescue sites and hopefully you`ll find an equally cute pup.
I agree with the above post. If you do want to get a cross breed, then you may have trouble finding a decent breeder that does the correct health tests for both breeds. I would look into a few breeds and see one that fits your family. Remember tempermant, health and breed traits are just as important as looks.
it wasnt really the look although he is a cutie, it was his mannerism. His over enthusiasm like a kid in a sweet shop, the way he wagged his tail so hard his whole back end moved. I assume this is 'mainly' attributed to his breed becuase my parents and cousin both have schitsue's and they are just a little subdued not so much fun. I maybe asking something that cant be answered never owning a dog so please forgive me if my questions seem naive
Sounds a happy little thing, Although not all pups from the same cross would be the same. Have a look into some breed tempermants.
i would say more spaniel cross long jrt? sent the pic to my friend who has spaniels and a long jrt (her jrt i reckon could throw something that long!) to see what she thinks
Street dogs in Greece survive only if they`re friendly, so you don`t see many surly ones. Temperament isn`t breed-related, though some breeds had a tendency to being more outgoing than others - however there are always exceptions.
I don't see any Springer at all - apart from the ticking but many breeds are ticked - I'd guess a hound X crossed with a basset or dachs X More than 2 breeds in there probably. If the OP is genuinely interested in having a dog they would be best advised to attend some doggy events and meet lots of different breeds, a stab in the dark guess at what mix a dog may be is not a reason to look for that mix - all dogs are individuals - you could end up very disappointed.
