I spent hours researching looking at pictures and still no definitive answer. Since he looks like a whippet, but bigger and like an Anatolian shephard but smaller, I conclude he is a mix of the two. On the dog walks in the off leash park I have noticed that people who appear to be working class (as opposed to the intelligentsia,) seem to know more about dogs and offer more interesting ideas about my dog's breed mixes. (But then, I forget the names of these breeds they mention by the time I get home.)
Yes! Let's see a picture of that big dog. Or could he be cheating like the Dalmatian that walks the kitchen counters?
