I have a Jack Russell that has long long hair and looks like a Lasa Jack cross. He came from a JRT breeding kennel and is supposed to be pure JRT. My brother is a vet and even he doesn't think he is pure bred JRT. My brother called me the other day and asked me if I was willing to have the JRT DNA tested. I said yes, provided he and I are also DNA to see where we came from. He agreed, so I'll let you know when it is all done, (especially the dog).
*Most* shelters see a prick-eared dog and work “GSD” in there, somehwere.
You should go to Petfinder and type in “Ibizan”.
They’re the new “prick-eared” fad.
This is very annoying to those of us who were/are involved in Ibizan Hound rescue.
After Bunny won the hound class at Westminster and got to the BOS ring, everything remotely resembling [and I mean REMOTE] was labeled “Ibizan mix” because some little known breed was suddenly “chic”.
More evidence of why I trust absolutely no-one to ID either rare or mixed dogs with certainty.
When I was a kid my German Shepherd got loose - and pregnant. No doubt by the roaming Labrador male.
Her pups were half black&tan, half yellow. We kept 2 of them (for a while), 1 of each. You would never have guessed the yellows were anything but poorly bred skinny Labradors (how the skinny happened for any of these dogs I don’t know, but it did; must be a throw-back). you might have guessed GS for the B&Ts, but also may have guessed Doberman.
