I know we will never know what breeds Cricket has in her, but I think it's fun to guess. No matter what she will always be a mystery. We're looking for a place to live and everywhere we look keeps asking what kind of dogs we have. I have no idea what to tell them with Cricket so I just say she's a general mega-mutt.
Now that she is growing up some I thought it would be fun to guess again. So guesses????
Here are my guesses... and I could be way off base.
I think she has some whippet in her... brindled coat aside, she has a pretty refined head (you notice it more in person than photos), tight lips (flew).. her head is generally pretty small although shape wise it's not very whippet like I don't think. She has a long lean body, really long legs and she moves a lot like I've seen in some sighthounds. There's something about her though that makes me feel like she might have some sort of sighthound breed in her and if I had to guess I'd say whippet.
Outside of that... I know a lot of people keep saying Malinois, but I wonder if she might have some dutch shepherd in her honestly. Maybe that's just popping into my head because of her brindle coat... but... I dont know.
She's definitely smaller than one. She's about 19.5 inches and she was about 25lbs when we moved to GA, but she looks like she's grown a little bit and I haven't weighed her in a bit.
A few pics of Cricket (I need to take some new ones btw)
And some dutchie pics I found
