Hi all... new here... on the quest for someone w/some insight into our little guys breeding. Why? Want to make sure he's fed right, etc. He was found in Northern MI wandering the streets in October. I adopted him Oct 25. He is about 33lbs at 16wks old. Mantle Merle in color. We're just curious, and it's kinda fun to hear the guesses... ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I agree he looks a lot like some pitbull. However, he really looks like a Catahoula. About the right size and weight for a courser boned one.

Sorry, that should say finer boned, not coarser.

There, haven't looked at the two pics together yet, but he does remind me. Could be a mix.

He kind of looks like he's got some Great Dane in him. I don't know about the pit - I guess I can kind of see it - but the face looks to narrow (pits tend to have gigantic noggins!)

I agree with fullhouse, he looks like he has Great Dane in him. He is really cute.

a border collie that leggy? I would go with the Great dane. My dads border collie is 30 lbs fully grown (lower end of the breed standard - but much bigger than that and they lose the agility they were bred for). this guy is 33 lbs at 16 wks.

In the closeup picture his jowls remind me of a dane...sure not a border jaw, but the markings could come from a lot of breeds. It appears his coat is a bit like a heeler. My border/red heeler mix is a very solid, but lean looking 35 pounds at 2 1/2 years...sure has not had any effect on her agility! She leaps as high as my husband's head. But, regardless of his ancestry...just like all of God's creatures .... there will never be another one just like him. Love him for his own sweet individuality.

oh yeah 35lbs is fine like i said my dads dog is the lower end of the breed specification. its the ridiculous size collies that are nearly as big as labradors i have a problem with because then it makes them unsuitable for the purpose they were originally bred for.

He's definately a little cutie!!! You know - if if you ever needed to get rid of him.....
Just kidding - no one in their right mind would let a cutie like him go.
