Crossing breeds effect on dogs appearance

[mod93dirt]

Well its getting late now and I've had a few and was getting to thinkin. I am sure tehre is some sort of XY reason why cross breeds come out looking like they do, but I dont know what it is. But I find it interesting how the looks of some cross breedings turn out. I mean you breed two blackmouths or two catahoulas, and you got a pretty good idea what they are gonna look like. Get to throwin a bunch of different breeds in there and who knows what they will look like. What got me thinking bout this is the looks of one of my pups. Knowing what her parents look like, I dont see where she came from. This is the second time my friend has bred these dogs, and both times there was only one brindle in the litter. The rest of the dogs looked pretty much like one another.
Here is a pic of her at about 5mo old.

Here is a pic of her a week ago, at 1yr old. Sorry its a crappy angle to really see the dog but the most recent pic I have.


There are three different breeds in this pup. Without anyone looking at any of my previous post history, I'll give ya five guesses as to which 3 breeds and I bet ya'll cant get it. And she is not a natural bob tail. Then I'll post some pics of her parents, and ya'll can tell me how she came out looking like she did.

Well I'm gonna guess GSD/cat/bmc. The GSD because how her ears set, and she looks like a gsd cross pup I had. Then the brindle without houndy looking ears makes me guess bmc. And the cat just seems like an obvious guess.

PIT, JACK RUSSEL, CUR

I'm gonna say Kemmer Cur, Plott, and Blackmouth

Mtn Cur or kemmer same thing, catahoula and german sheperd dog...

Poodle x wolf, and maybe a cur in the woodpile

[waylon-N.E. OK]

You know when you go to breeding dogs there are things back in the wood pile that show up some times, I seen some grade ol country breed walkers once that had about 1/8 or 1/16 plott hound back in there and every once in a while when bred either line bred or out crossed out they threw a partial brindle pup. I remember seeing some yella dogs on here maybe skoals or Big o's can't remember that were throwing dogs with a little longer hair than what is commonly seen in ybmc dogs. What ever is in there bubbles up from time to time. It's like the hancoc.k horses from the broken bones ranch in wyoming, the throw patches of white and can't seem to get rid of it, some where a paint was probably bred in that line and that trait becames fixed some how and it keeps cropping up, even when solid roan horses are bred together.

bmc/plott/pit

i saw where they did genetic testing on pure bred dogs, and the results concluded that there were all these breeds in it's ancestry that were not supposedly there. 

a dog is just a selectively bred wolf, I guess, but it goes to show that, once again, that mainstream scientist is just another name for mainstream retard.

Mtn Cur or kemmer same thing, catahoula and german sheperd dog...

another possibility

cat, pit, mtn cur

Some of ya'll were close hitting two of the 3 breeds.

Here is the daddy dog. He is 1/2 GSD, 1/2 Airedale.


And here is the momma dog, a BMC. Sorry its not a good pic.


Like I said this was the second time these dogs have been crossed. Both litters threw one Brindle, while the rest were built about like my dog, but colored like a BMC. None of the pups had the slightest bit of long hair or a rough coat.

Does this stud just have weak genes? Or the momma have real strong jeans? Or is it just kind of luck of the draw what a cross breeding like this is going to turn out looking like?

[Reuben]

the pup does have that terrier head. 

I do know that short hair is a dominant trait and long hair is a recessive trait in dogs.

That airedale x german sheperd  almost looks like an irish wolfhound... Is he a rough hog dog?

Ole Clyde is very rough on a hog. If you hear him barking, you can bet it is a big hog, and that he is alone. As soon as reinforcements arrive, its game on. He is my buddies best dog, and he didn't even come out of hunting lines. He was an accidental breeding that my buddy got from his uncle because the dog was after everything on his uncles yard. Tried him on a hog and he took right to it. Had to to a bunch of trash breaking early, but now that dog is all hog.

When not hunting he is one of the coolest most laid back dogs I know. Lays up on the front porch, hops in the truck with you, and my buddy even brings him to work and he just lays around the shop and doesnt cause any trouble. Hes one of the smartest dogs I have seen. But put the vest and collar on him and he knows its hunting time and gets to work and dont stop till you drag him back to the truck. Only downside to him is he gets hot pretty easy if its warm outside.

give ole clyde a short airedale clip and he might outlast the cur dogs...I used to have airedales for hog dogs and if and when I gave them a haircut they could go and go...
