If your dog was a horse what breed would it be?

[U_T2009]

Random I know!
I was watching the damnation lolop his way across the yard today and he so reminds me of a warmblood youngster, all that movement but not quite sure what to do with it!
As for my little parson's terrier I think he would be a section A, flashy, bit stuck up and rather hyper!

 

[kirstyhen]

He would be a TB X Welsh Cob - All the strength, stockiness, and stubborness of a Welsh Cob, with the speed and agility of a TB - He would be have a heart of gold but completely wild!

Funnily enough his breeder also bred Welsh Cob X TBs!!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Bella would be a smart little Arab, flighty, very posey and self aware, very 'look at meeeeeee!'
She does already carry her tail very high!

B would be a big, grey, skinny P2P horse who lives to jump over big hedges, likes to think he is laid back, but still a bit of a drama queen at heart and very full of himself!

 

[BuzzLightyear]

my boxer would be something like a DWB, loving hugs and fuss, fantastic movement but totally ready for an explosion (like we have currently cause he's on restricted exercise due to a fracture of the hock and ripped achilles

)

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

I think beau would be a riding club pony sec b or c, but not quite totally sane.

Happy to play and be fizzy out in the field and when working (or playing in beaus case!) but happy to stand and be loved at home!

although we certainly have insane ex racer moments.....

 

[Enfys]

Boston (GSD) hefty, all mouth and no trousers, very Tim, nice but dim...ummmmmm, I'm going to offend someone aren't I? Got it

He'd be your good old fashioned hunter, not bad looking, genuine, go all day, but not too bright perhaps.

Poppy (GSD) so sharp she cuts herself, always active, quite sensitive and doesn't do loud voices or fast actions, an arab I think, you have to ask Poppy, not tell her, she gets upset.

Rip, bouvier/hound mix. Couch potato of the first degree, black, hairy, friendly to a fault, yet has a surprising turn of foot when he chooses...Section D perhaps?

 

[prosefullstop]

With her backside, "Irish" black and white markings, and surprising athleticism, Stella is a cob through and through.

 

[PucciNPoni]

Aaahh. My wee Minpin would be a hackney pony for sure. She always has reminded me of one (which is WHY I got her as at the time I had a couple). My Poodle, an arab for sure - deffo the look at me and prancy clever boots that he is. The Border Terrier, I'm not so sure about that one. He isn't the cleverest, but he's a momma's boy when he's not in a huff at me for speaking to the poodle. He can be rather vocal, a tad aggressive to his toys, and is just a right scruff. Any ideas?

 

[camilla4]

My Lab would be Arab x some kind of Native. She's very beautiful, intelligent and a lovely mover but cheeky and tough!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Pucci, a shettie springs to mind!

And Enfys, I think our females could be related

 

[Puppy]

Popple would probably be a sh*tland!

Ah yes, quite right! That sounds like my wee chester-pops!

 

[Tinkerbee]

Tinker is that stocky, hairy, coloured pony of no particular breeding that you see in riding schools. Dozy, lazy and needs a good boot to do anything, but reliable and always up for food/cuddles.

 

[FestiveSpirit]

I think my greyhounds would have to be TB's - sleek, beautiful, glossy coats, move like a dream...

Rather conveniently my TB horse would therefore be a greyhound if he were a dog

 

[Chestersmum]

Ditto Splotchy entirely as both my greyhound and my TB share an awful lot of traits, unsuprisingly!

 

[k1963]

Mine would be a cobby type ( as he's quite chunky)- very lazy & would bang the door at feed times . He'd be spooky on hacks ( he's only 2 & has had been ill-treated in the past . )

He'd only pick up speed if he saw a cat/bird/car as he chases them . He'd love loads of fuss & treats though .

Ah, Tinkerbee, I remember that pony very well!!

- and I do have a friend whose dog would be that pony!

OOOOOhhh, I feel a follow on coming.....

 

[Charmaine18]

Aaah, I was thinking about this the other day! I don't know what breed they'd be (I don't really know much about horse breeds to be honest), but I know just what they'd be like as horses!

Poppy the JRT would be a little fat grey 11hh pony who all the kids would adore because she looks so sweet, but she'd be an absolute horror for nipping and kicking! She'd probably be a great lead rein pony but once you took her off the LR she'd have the kid on the floor in a second! Probably a shetland, I suppose.

Leah would definitely be a total heinz 57. She'd be a lovely horse - she'd try her heart out at everything you wanted her to do, because she's so eager to please. She'd also be very kind at looking after nervous riders, I think. However, she would be terrified of her own shadow, would not be safe in traffic and would probably spook at every single pole in a showjumping course, no matter how badly she wanted to make you proud. Poor little scaredy-dog...

 

[Irishcobs]

Amber would be a TB. Very quick and light on her feet.
Hattie would be quarter horse, quick but slightly stocky.

 

[Spudlet]

Henry really made me laugh tonight - there was a pile of bracken in the middle of the path and he kept spooking at it - just like a horse, he looked, shuffled his feet, then took one step closer, turned, ran off, stopped, turned back and looked at it

Took him aged to pluck up the nerve to go past!

So I think he'd be some kind of nutty TB cross

 

[competitiondiva]

mmmm my lab x dalmation (yes my god what a cross, never stops!!) would probably be an arab!! Pretty, fast and will go all day!

 

[Ravenwood]

Toby would be a draught horse, slow, gentle and thoughtful. The sort to just get on with things without putting up any fuss.

Flyn - God knows! A racing pony perhaps - something that has to go flat out at every opportunity!

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

I think Beezle would be an unlikely dressage horse -- unlikely because of unknown breeding and because sh's so ugly, dressage horse because she moves like a dream, she's so elastic! (I could never sit her trot, though!). Tell me this front leg doesn't remind you of Totilas:

In fact I often dream of having a magic wand and transforming her into a horse..I would be rich then

Peanuts I'm not sure, something really pretty but equally lazy?

An equestrian statue maybe!

Florimell is tricky. A TB for speed and beauty, but again a dressage horses for her paces.

 

[haycroft]

i think both my whippets would be polo ponies...fast,quick,turn on a sixpence and love to chase

but elegant as a TB,fine and built for speed and very inteligent(sp)

Jaypers look at that forward reach! Tape her ears up and get her in the showring, the German judges go mad for that sort of movement

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

But won't they think she's been worked in rollkur?!

 

[CorvusCorax]

I'm off to a dog show tomorrow and I wish half of them could take corners like that
