My new pup

[Oenoke]

I've had her just over 2 weeks, her name is Yoki. Can you guess her cross?

When she 1st came home, 7.5 weeks old


Last weekend, nearly 9 weeks old


Friday, 9.5 weeks old


And 1 with all my dogs

Obviously border collie x - but no idea what the x might be! She's very sweet!

 

[RubysGold]

Omg that is adorable!!!! Love her name as well

 

[Oenoke]

Yes, Border Collie x. If it helps she's an F2, both parents are this cross.

 

[Oenoke]

Omg that is adorable!!!! Love her name as well

Thank you, her name means rain in Hopi, Native American.

 

[JennBags]

Oh she's gorgeous. No idea what she's crossed with, but I'm sure that curl in the tail will give something away to people more experienced. She's got very long legs, I think she's going to be a runner!

 

[Moobli]

I am guessing the other breed is something smaller and lighter than a collie, given her dainty features? And probably a deliberate cross for speed and athleticism in agility? I give up though! I am rubbish at guessing crosses lol

 

[Clodagh]

She is lovely. C'mon - tell us the cross!

 

[ester]

collie lurcher?

Those ears!

 

[Bojingles]

Collie Whippet?

 

[DabDab]

Oh she's cute!

No clue what the Cross could be - the placement of the ears, shape of the face and tail make me think some kind of terrier....

 

[MissTyc]

Basenji? The folded ears and curly tail quite common in that breed, also the way she's carrying herself.

She's lovely!

Ah - yes, I am sure you are right.

Not heard of this breed before, but having Google it I can definitely see the resemblance. Hoping the OP will return to tell us soon!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Not to be snobby, but aren’t Basenjis still uncommon enough that breeders wouldn’t outcross?

She’s very cute, nature does a great job of making young animals super cute!

 

[SpringArising]

collie lurcher?

Those ears!

Collie Whippet?

I think Whippet or Lurcher too!

OP I love your two on the far right. They're gorgeous.

 

[planete]

I have just seen your thread on another forum but I won't spoil the game. Gorgeous pup!

 

[Oenoke]

Collie Whippet?

You're right, she's a 2nd generation Border Whippet, bred for flyball.

 

[Oenoke]

Thank you, they are mother (blue) and daughter (lilac).

 

[Sandstone1]

Sharpei?

 

[NiceNeverNaughty]

BC x beardie? very cute!

 

[Clodagh]

Ah! Isn't it odd, how two pure bred dogs with low tail carriage, when crossed, always give you an upright tail?

 

[DabDab]

Ooo, interesting, never seen that mix before. Are there many of them on the flyable scene?

 

[Tiddlypom]

Ah, she's lovely and I should have guessed her breeeding, as we've had two collie/whippets in the past ! It's a cracking cross.

 

[Oenoke]

Ooo, interesting, never seen that mix before. Are there many of them on the flyable scene?

Yes, there are quite a few and becoming more popular.

 

[Oenoke]

It's probably her fluffy coat that threw you off, it's why I said she's an F2.

So the whippet adds speed, is lighter? I saw an off lead greyhound go across our local park in a couple of bounds, bloody impressive!

 

[splashgirl45]

i had a bc/whippet many years ago and she had the bc temperament and the speed of the whippet, she was brilliant. such an easy dog to have...

Yes, speed of the Whippet, brains of the Border Collie.
