For your Big white dog I'm going to guess again.  Is it a chinook?
: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: Anky October 21, 2005, 10:45:29 PM
Nope, not a Chinook.  Give you a hint, the name is hard to pronounce :P
: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: lilysmom October 21, 2005, 10:45:38 PM

: Re: Breed Guessing Contest

Not a Maremma.  I thought it was a Portuguese too :(
: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: lilysmom October 21, 2005, 10:53:15 PM

It kind of looks like a border collie, but I know it can't be that simple. :-\
: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: lilysmom October 22, 2005, 01:11:53 AM
I was still wondering too.  She never answered what it was.
: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: lilysmom October 22, 2005, 03:46:22 AM
That sounds like a good idea.  Who wants to moderate?  I guess maybe we can continue with the pictures we're trying to guess now and then start the one at a time.  The last two were located at:

Reply #8 by Blair

and

Reply #44 by Moni

We'll wait for answers and whoever gets them both right, gets to pick the next pic.  Question though....what happens if everyone gives up?

: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: lilysmom October 22, 2005, 05:04:00 AM
OK, I vote for you to be moderator. :D
: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: Saintgirl October 22, 2005, 05:29:36 AM

sorry about the delay.  My daughter came down with a stomach virus this morning.  Here's the next dog up.




(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/mbingham/blackdog.gif)
: Re: Breed Guessing Contest
: lilysmom October 24, 2005, 08:54:19 AM
wow, you got that one quick.  I had no idea what that breed was.  You're up next.  Here's a little info on the Cao Da Castro Laboreiro.

UTILIZATION: Watch and guard Dog.

Without working trial.

Brief Historical Summary: With his name closely linked to a small village in the mountains, Castro Laboreiro, where he is mostly found nowadays, this dog has been known since very remote times. Although there is no definite proof to ascertain his origin, as it happens with the Serra da Estrela dog, he must belong to one of the most ancient breeds in the Iberian Peninsula.

He appears mainly in a zone limited by the mountains of Peneda and Suajo and the rivers Minho and Lima, at variable altitudes, up to about 1400 m.

Some specimens of this breed can also be found scattered in other places alongside the Minho and in the Province Douro. He spreads seldom in the Center and the South of the country, where he passes unnoticed.

General Appearance: A mastiff type lupoïd dog with rather rectangular lines. A strong dog, of pleasant appearance and often of striking coat. His gait is free, easy and full of nerve. His bark is quite characteristic, very loud, starting in variable, generally low tones and ending up in prolonged high-pitched sounds similar to howling.

Temperament/Behaviour: A loyal companion, obedient to his own family, absolutely necessary as defender of the herds against the wolf which still abounds in the neighborhood; he is the ideal guard dog for the places entrusted to his protection. Noble carriage, with a stern and severe expression, hardy as a mountaineer. He sometimes takes a hostile attitude, but he is not quarrelsome.

DESCRIPTION:

HEAD: Even in size, showing lightness rather than coarseness; dry but not too lean; skin well developed, but without wrinkles; slightly long head, rather rectangular and well set. Jaws powerful with good occlusion.

CRANIAL REGION:

Skull: Fairly developed and seen from front slightly salient. Profile almost straight. Frontal furrow hardly noticeable. Occipital crest hardly marked.

Stop: Not very marked, nearer to the tip of the nose than to the top of the skull.

FACIAL REGION:

Nose: Well developed, large, straight, nostrils well open, always black.

Muzzle: Nasal bridge long, strong, straight throughout its whole length tapering towards the tip of the nose, without however being narrow or pointed. Mouth well cut; lips regular, neither pendulous nor fleshy, close fitting, with labial corners hardly visible. Mucous membranes of the mouth, the hard palate and the edges of the lips strongly pigmented with black.

Teeth: Whole, strong, white and well set into well muscled jaws. Normal bite.

Eyes: Slanting, even with the socket, tonsil shaped, medium sized, perfectly equal and well open. Severe and hard expression. Different shades of brown, from hazel in dogs with a light coat too very deep brown, almost black in dogs with darker coats.

Ears: Of medium size (12/12 cm), moderately thick, almost triangular with a rounded tip; fairly high set, hanging, falling naturally close and flat to the head, parallel to each other. When the dog is attentive, the ear turns forward, its outer surface remaining in forward position.

NECK: Straight, well shaped, short, well set to head and body, of well proportioned thickness. Proud carriage. No dewlap.

BODY:

Upper line: Straight back of medium length; loins strong, wide, short and well muscled, nicely joined to the rump in a gently sloping line.

Chest: Ogival in shape, high, broad and rather deep.

Underline: Rather flat belly, even somewhat narrow, with distinct difference in level between the xyphoid and the groin, forming a noticeably rising underline.

Tail: Entire, not docked. At rest the tail should reach the hock. Nicely dressed saber tail, long and thick at the set on, very hairy on the underside, well attached to the rump; set higher than usual. At rest, it falls down naturally to the buttocks which should be covered with abundant hair, yet not between them. When the dog is excited, the tail is carried above the topline bending upward, forward and slightly sideways, but never carried downward like a hunting-horn.

FORE - AND HINDQUARTERS: Both fore-and hindquarters very correctly vertical, either seen from the front or from the rear; seen from the side, the forelegs still appear upright whilst in the hind legs the line of the rear pastern below the hock joint to the ground slopes a little forward, off the vertical (dog standing too far under). Well developed bone, well covered with powerful muscles especially on the upper arms and on the thighs, the latter showing distinct muscular masses, easily seen from the rear. Forearm rather cylindrical, straight, slimming gradually down to the pastern which should be neither too long nor too bent (not down in pastern). Joints and articular angulations well developed; medium open angles (shoulder-upper arm almost straight, tibio-tarsical angle medium blunt.)

FEET: Well proportioned to the size, rather rounded than long, almost cat feet. Large toes, naturally arched, neither turned outwards (splay feet) nor inwards (bow feet), and well connected. Thick, tough pads. Well grown nails, black or dark gray, strong, smooth and regularly worn. Single or double dewclaws acceptable.

Gait/Movement: Easy rhythmical gait, the legs moving parallel to the median plane of the body. This dog normally moves at a natural walk or sometimes in an easy amble, unless a strong reason urges him to trot or even to gallop.

COAT:

HAIR: Thick, resistant, rather rough to the touch, slightly dull, smooth, very close over the entire body and very dense. Short hair (about 5 cm) is the usual, longer or shorter hair is exceptional. Generally the hair is thicker and shorter on the head and the ears where it is softer and finer as well as on the lower parts of the fore-and hind legs. It is thicker and longer on the tail, especially on the underside, making it appear heavier in the middle part. Very hairy thighs. No undercoat.

COLOR: Wolf colors in all shades from very light to medium and dark shades, the latter being more usual. Exceptionally all 3 shades may be present on different parts of the same dog : dark wolf color on the head, back and shoulders, medium shade on the chest, rump and thighs, light color on the belly and the lower parts of the limbs. The most preferred, however, is the locally called "mountain color" considered by the breeders in Castro-Laboreiro as a characteristic al ethnic trait: a mixed coat, similar to the coat of a wolf, grayish, in lighter an darker shades, not black, with brown (pine-seed color) or reddish (mahogany color) hairs interspersed on parts or over the whole body.

Is the first one an anatolian shepherd?    Is the second one a wire fox terrier?
