Shaggy...the puppylove of my life

Here he is in all of his furry, black-haired covered-with-burrs doggy goodness.






Edit: Oh, shoot, I accidentaly didn't put this in Pet pics...could someone move it, please?

He is very handsome!

He's cute - is he a poodle mix?

OMG! He's so so handsome- what breed/mix is he?

What a beautiful dog

At first we thought poodle/wheaton terrier, but now we're not sure because he's changing color. How does "purebred mutt" sound to you?

Yep

Where did you get Shaggy?

He looks kinda like some puppies the HS had here...they were supposedly Portugese Water Dog Xs. I'm pretty sure it was poodle!

He's gorgeous, kinda looks like a Bouvier that hasn't had it's ears cropped, wrong coat type of course.

We found him on petfinder...the people that were fostering him told us the rescue had found him wandering alongside the road. Poor dog, we're pretty sure he was abused by men where he was since he can't stand to have any guy he doesn't know touch his head.

I just googled portugese water dog poodle x and the ones it came up with do look a lot like him! Who knows? Maybe he does have some of that breed in him!

Just googled that one too ( ) and he does have a striking resemblance to them too! What kind of coat do they have?

Their coat is more wiry, closer to what a schnauzer has.

Maybe he's a Schanauzer/Wheaten/Poodle/Portugese Water dog mix? You could call him a Wheat-schnauzerpoo-water dog. (The whole "designer dog" making up cute names)

Well, he does have a somewhat wiry coat - more so on his back and face than anywhere else. Who knows what he might be?

Add Bouvier to the mix and you come up with Whouzerpoo.

Edit: Wait, make that Whouzerportoo!

Bouviers are fairly big. Cant really tell how large he is.
I think port. and poodle. Who knows! All those poodle mixes are pretty hard to tell!
But no matter what he is he is ADORABLE!
For comparison: Here is our Bouvier that comes to work.
