Tonka the 50% Golden Retriever 25% Aussie and 25% Siberian Husky mix at 5 years old
Tonka the 50% Golden Retriever 25% Aussie and 25% Siberian Husky mix at 5 years old—"Tonka is a product of grandma's dog and grand-daughter's dog spending vacation together. Neither family knew the other dog wasn't fixed. Even tho she is 50% Golden Retriever, most people think she's a Black Lab (especially in the summer when she has her summer "cut" - too hot in TX for the Husky in her), until we show them her beautiful "feathered" tail. "Tonka is the smartest dog I've ever had. Even smarter than the wolf-hybrid I had years ago. One night I said "double N" to my husband in regards to Tonka's dinner (double n) time. She turned and gave me the "look", "yes, it's dinner time and you're late". Never before had I used "double N" as code for dinner. "Everything is Tonka's "favorite" thing. We keep her healthy with very good dry dog food, plain yogurt (daily with her morning feeding) and half of a raw lamb shank on Sunday. She will tell me when it's time for lamb and she knows I keep it in the microwave (so she can't steal it off the counter)." _________________________________________________________
"This is my puppy Boma. She looks like a Basenji mix and the more I get to know her and the more I learn about dogs, I have been thinking she's mixed with a Whippet. She was a rescue so her past is a mystery—in fact, she was listed on Petfinder as being a Chihuahua / terrier mix but clearly she is neither. She's a very sweet girl, about to be 11 months old, and the more I learn about dog behavior, the better I am getting at being her leader."
Update: "Boma had a DNA test done. The results came back half Siberian Husky and the other half a mix of Beagle / Dachshund and Whippet / "mixed breed". When you look down into "mixed breed" it includes—Cesky Terrier, Tibetan Mastiff, Jindo, Shar-Pei, and German Shepherd. I still think she looks and acts like a Basenji. Mostly people say she looks like a fox and I think she acts more like a cat than a dog. This picture does show how she differs from a Basenji—she is so long! People tell me she looks like a Pharaoh Hound, I guess because she is so long. Boma's foster mom said she had two brindle brothers. She was listed on Petfinder as a Chihuahua / terrier mix!"

This handsome boy is named Cody. "His father was a Black Lab and his mother was a Saint Bernard mix." _________________________________________________________
"This is Rex, my dog I had growing up. He died in 1990. He was a Black Lab / Collie / Shepherd mix."

"Two-year-old Lab / Redbone Coonhound cross who can't figure out whether she is supposed to bay or bark." ________________________________________________
"We found Amstel at our local Humane Society and she weighs about 14 pounds in this picture. She was found by animal control with her mom, hiding under a car. We have no idea what she is mixed with so we are uncertain how big she will get. She is the calmest, sweetest little girl, and we can't get enough of her!! She loves to cuddle and follow us all around the house. She is very observant and just watches me while I cook in the kitchen. We are using Cesar Millan's philosophy of exercise, discipline and affection to train her and we are finding it very effective! We are so happy and lucky to have her as a part of our family!!"
