The two grad students are in total finals craziness! Havi is definitely not thrilled to be second fiddle to our studies. She stays home most of the day with Dental Student, who is a much better "at home" studier. Dental Student reports that she mopes around the house begging to be played with! Poor pup...if only she knew that fun walks, runs, parks that await her in two weeks!
Everyday, we are approached by people who let us know what breed they think Havi is. She was advertised to us by her foster parents as one thing, the vet told us another, and every subsequent person has had a new opinion! So today we thought we'd ask you - what breed(s) do you think Havi is?!
She's an all-american shelter dog!!! I'm resolved to stop pigeon-holing pups from now on, especially as (not to be bleak about it) the wrong label in a shelter can be a death-sentence for a pup.
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, she's a cutie whatever she is...
I agree. She's Havi, and that's all that matters! (Good luck with finals. Finishing up a bunch of papers myself!)
ReplyDeleteHaha shelter-dog is a GREAT breed- i have two myself!!! I think you can tell a lot more by size than looks sometimes - how much does she weigh? I recommend Wisdom Panel- they seem to get the breeds at least partially right(they don't receive a picture)- we thought it was fun- sometimes you get surprised! And while I agree that naming dogs "breed mixes" when they really are too mixed up to tell can be silly- it is just as fun and harmless as genealogy for humans. By the way, what breeds have people been saying to you?
ReplyDeleteHmmm I think Havi is what we call in Australia "A Heinz Variety" 53 flavors in every bottle !!! Just to confuse people - when they ask you what breed she is - you could just say she is a "Havi" (a totally unique breed :) Oh, there are some great doggie interactive toys for sale online that will help keep he occupied. Good luck with the finals - happy days in just a few weeks
ReplyDeleteThe Mr. and I just finished up our school for the year, Hooray for summer! Good luck with your finals. I agree that Havi is most definately a shelter dog, but I think it is fun to guess what breeds she may have mixed in there, I am thinking English Pointer/APBT mix :)
ReplyDeleteI think Havi has some boxer in her. Those little flaps hanging over the side of her mouth look like Nitro's flaps. She is perfect what ever she is but I think she is a Pitoxer! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am never good at judging breeds. Havi has a beautiful face.
ReplyDeleteBe strong Havi, the wait is almost over and summer fun awaits you!!!
Hey Havi!
ReplyDeleteWow, I think you're just beautiful. I can tell you that I am an American. I don't know what else there is to debate about...I'm an All American Mutt and pretty proud of it. Anyone asks, tell them you're a Havihound and leave them scratching their heads. Teehee. BOL
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Adorable, sweet, beautiful Havi that is what breed you are. Breed don't mean much to us around here, we are all just sweeties Mumsy says and we think you are too. Have fun after all the finals are finished. Hugs and nose kisses.
ReplyDeletePS Best of luck on finals
I'm always curious what Miss M is made of too. I'm awful at guessing. From that second photo, she almost looks like what Corbin might be (lab?). Good luck with finals!
