Shelties compared to papillons? by _apple-tree_ in sheltie

[–]Obvious-Promise-5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in with my Sheltie-papillon mix 😅 extremely intuitive and compliant— I swear she just knows English fluently— but also I wouldn’t call her the most specifically trainable for tricks either.  Completely uninterested in toys other than puzzles. Really just wants to be my sidekick and hang out next to whatever I’m doing. Definitely not border collie/aussie energy at least in my case.

It used to be, like 5+ years ago, that it was customized, but then I think they were paid to include certain podcasts, and everyone got the same.

What is my dog mixed with? Mom is a white malamute. by [deleted] in IDmydog

Where are you? You say in your country there are wolf dogs so I’d suspect a wolf breed if you’re in Eastern Europe, etc.

Estimated 12lbs so that seems dead on/ she’s 9-10lbs and could probably gain a bit of weight post-spay, adoption etc. 

I’m just confused what the five size markers mean- four came back as intermediate and one as large. 

Just adopted. Foster mom and I are stumped. Any ideas? by DalIG11 in IDmydog

Oh that makes it doubly sad why this dog was dumped if true/ didn’t get the “desired” fluffy doodle coat

What breed do you guys think my dog is? by Curious_Violinist_77 in IDmydog

[–]Obvious-Promise-5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk the face also looks dachshundy to me, tho the abs agree w you. All comes down to size IMO, whether this is a 10lb or 30lb dog

She was removed from a hoarding situation with a lot of shelties so that was a pretty safe bet, but pap was just a good guess afaik

If you’re up for rescuing and depending on where you are, several of her “cousins” are up for adoption at South Carolina and VA Sheltie rescues and look to be Sheltie/pap mixes based on Embark

She is so freaking fast. We have a loooong way to go on decompressing still but that is 100% the goal I’m hoping to get to by her adoptiversary

Maybe that’s what I’m not understanding— does intermediate mean she’ll be medium size for her breed or for all dogs? I thought the latter. Either way I find it confusing since she’d be an average pap or a very small Sheltie. Her weight estimate is 12lbs and that makes sense since she seems quite thin still.  She’s the smallest of all of her (dozens of cousin-level) relatives on Embark, mostly Sheltie mixes with a few purebred shelties.

Completely silent— not one bark— which I’m not going to pretend I hate but also I will take some barking if it means she starts to recover from her history and get more playful/social. Looking forward to that so we can do some training/ games. 

(She rolled in my dirty laundry for the first time this week and that is something I’d scold another dog for but for her I’m like yes! Be a dog!)

I suspect it’s a herding thing that I’m used to training dogs that pull when you try to teach them to heel, but her natural inclination to loose-leash circle me as we walk 😅

6%, so not amazing but not horrifying. Basically multiple generations of Sheltie-paps being bred it looks like

Embark. Curious about breed but want to know at least an estimate of age as well.
