On a lighter note

[Errin Paddywack]

My friend has just got a new pup, destined to do agility. Anyone like to guess what cross he is?

 

[AmyMay]

Corgi x collie (although I appreciate the corgi element is probably no good for agility!??)

Whatever he is - he’s totally delicious!!

 

[Spotherisk]

BC x duck toller? Cocker x BC?

 

[Barton Bounty]

he has a wee JRT look about him ? hes too cute ?

 

[Highmileagecob]

Jack Russell X Whippet? Junpin' Jack Flash!

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

JrtxBc? He is gorgeous! Those ears!

 

[tda]

I was going to say corgi x , he's cute

 

[ycbm]

JrtxBc? He is gorgeous! Those ears!

My guess too.

But i don't care, he's just gorgeous.

Corgi x collie (although I appreciate the corgi element is probably no good for agility!??)

There’s a collie x corgi agility champion so they can’t be that bad ?

I will guess whippet x but don’t want to commit to the other half!

 

[MurphysMinder]

If he's for agility there is probably working cocker in there ! He is very cute, think I'll maybe go collie x jrt.

 

[Cortez]

Gorgeous crossed with cute?

 

[scats]

Corgi x collie or JRT x collie

We have a corgi x and she’s one of the fastest and most agile dogs I’ve ever met!

 

[Horseysheepy]

I'm going to be a bit different and say collie X beagle!

 

[twiggy2]

Collie x papillon

 

[Errin Paddywack]

twiggy2 you are right and he comes from Scotland. Currently smaller than the very small papillon he will be living with. He is from a purpose bred litter that has had all the necessary health checks done for both breeds and absolutely everything done to make sure the litter are well handled and used to as much as possible. Looking forward to seeing him grow up and hopefully meeting him next week.

 

[blackcob]

I would not have guessed borderpap (sorry, I have to use the term ever since Clodagh made me laugh about it!) - they seem to be having a bit of a resurgence. Smart looking pup

I would never have guessed that! Gorgeous little thing.

Was he deliberately bred for agility, Errin, or deliberately bred just because it's a really nice cross?

[Clodagh]

I thought pap cross. The ears! It will be great to see him grow up.

 

[Errin Paddywack]

Not sure about that. I will ask the owner when I next see her. Hers is the liveliest in the litter so will suit her ideally. Picture shows him with her Papillon.

 

[Rumtytum]

Oh my life he’s an absolute darling ?

 

[limestonelil]

I'm so proud that I went for papillon/collie too! Love playing the cross-breed guessing game with all the dogs that are brought into the shop. Beautiful little pup.

 

[PurBee]

Really cute pup! I would never have guessed papillon…the pup hasnt inherited any of the hairy ears…unless thats to grow later? ?

 

[Moobli]

I was going to say collie x pap but not because he looks like one but because I know it’s a popular cross for agility nowadays. He’s very cute!

 

[TheOldTrout]

He is gorgeous.

I didn't know that, about it being a popular cross, I've no links to agility dogs and must admit I've previously wondered why some people manufacture certain types of crossbreeds. So interesting. I knew about breeding non shedding dogs for allergies etc that started umpteen years ago, then thought it just got to be a fashion thing to do. (Got the death stare off a proud owner once, and a simultaneous snorty snigger from a colleague (who is more canine aware than me) when I was told their dog was an a x b cross, and I just asked why! It was a genuine question but the owners were astonished I asked, but couldn't answer) Little dog looked like a ++ hyperactive (!) springer cross ready to explode.

 

[ArklePig]

@limestonelil people ask me all the time why is my dog ? I just laugh and answer F knows, I can only hope she was an accident (springer x pointer). Some mixes, like mine, are frankly bonkers.

Have been reading up on borderpaps since this thread though and they look very useful if they do what they're supposed to (and very very cute).

 

[P3LH]

I think he’s super! I really like paps/phalenes

 

[Keith_Beef]

Brown X white.

 

[NinjaPony]

What a gorgeous boy! I’m biased as a phalene owner but he is just adorable!
