• Mixed Breed but < 4 different breeds

Case 2: Hank - 60 lb

In Zoë i think; flat coat retriever and perhaps also borde collie.
And for Hank I guess Cattle dog and terrier?

 

[Dogster]

Zoe- Border collie, golden retriever,?spaniel,???
Hank- Australian Cattle dog, golden retriever, terrier???

I'm really bad at this...

 

[Amateur]

yes you are ... try again

 

[southerngirl]

Zoe: Border collie/Lab/German Shepard/salukie
Hank: Aussie/Australian cattle dog/lab/terrier
You said thy' both mixed with four breeds right?

 

[Anneke]

Zoë, I think border collie/ australian shepherd, maybe golden retriever She looks a bit like a golden/border mix I know.
Hank has me puzzled though... Uhm judging by coat(mainly that second pic) there may be some collie in him, because he is a bit big, golden retriever...
I'm not gonna be distracted by the fact he likes to hunt for mice, because I have a pedigree australian shepherd, that does the same thing If I were, I would say there is some terrier blood in him, but then his size doesn't add up.

 

[MissyBC]

They're both gorgeous!

Zoe: Border Collie X Australian Shepherd

Hank: Australian Shepherd? Rough Collie? Terrier?

Those are my guesses. You said Hank was more than 4 breeds but I can't think of any other breeds at the top of my head that would fit his coat type or size...

 

[MaryK]

I think Zoe - retriever/border collie/German Shepherd and stuck for a fourth!

Hanks a puzzle - Scotch Collie/Australian Cattle Dog/Retriever/ again stuck on the fourth - well actually stuck a bit all round.

Put us all out of our misery please What are their four breeds?

 

[MissyBC]

Zoe is less than 4 breeds.

Hank is 4 or more different breeds.

Have I got it right, Amateur - interpreting the < and > signs?

 

[Amateur]

yes Missy - I was just about to point that out again ...
Zoë is 3 exactly 3 different breeds - so she shares a common breed with both parents

Hank is like a mix of 4 dominant plus over 7 more breeds adding in the mix part

This is fun !
