I think every dog owner should get a harness for walking their dog. I hate it when I see poor dogs jerking their necks at the end of a leash. It's just painful to watch.

Also, there have been some good articles about how you can't tell worth crap what breed/mix a dog is by just looking at it posted here on DU. Google for them.

What is it? Pretty Darned CUTE I'd say.

catch him by the tail!

He looks happy and full of spunk! Have a long and happy life together.

May you have many happy years together!

Light on his feet being able to seem to fly effortlessly onto higher landing points. Not yippy but a good sized bark with a wide range of vocalizations. Likes to pretend dig. The Shelter had thought him Westie-Poo but a groomer thought Westie-Bischon. He has slightly wirey feeling hair on parts of his body. I see terrier as a large portion of him. Maybe even Wire haired Terrier? Or if you take a Wheaten and mate it with a Wire Haired Doxie. lol! He is super smart, fast and playful. Sleeps under blankets.<a href=".html" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt=" photo MurphHaircut3.jpg"/></a>

So cute!

Gave the gift of life (although I guess a lot of inquires started to come in 24 hours after being on Petfinder) marking the one year anniversary of my mom passing. We have had him for, I think, five months now. Had to train him to not go after my cats as it was apparent that that was instinct from day one. Terrier.
Was hard to find a Terrier or X that would get along with the kits and other senior dogs because they are strong willed and smart.Still working on training but is going really well now. Not so much at first.

Whatever he is, he's ADORABLE!

One groomer thought so. But...eh..... wish DNA tests were more accurate. I would love to do one on him. Here is a long view. His nickname is Porkchop due to his buff short legs and pig's feet look<a href=".html" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt=" photo MurpheyKiltWowWEB.jpg"/></a>

That's my Riley's nic - she's 1/2 Shiba Inu, 1/2 Am. Staff. Terrier. Her short little legs are shaped just like porkchops. Long version: HRH Princess Porkchop.

And just look at Master Porkchop in his kilt! Riley would swoon!

Murphey's legs are very muscular and his feet look like pig's feet too!
I am miffed at the shutdown because I bought this Kilt on Ebay in the uK and now the Shop has been instructed NOT to sell to us and Canada calling us "risks". I love their stuff and this wool blend hand pleated Kilt was only about $36.
: > (
I wanted a red one also although BlackWatch seems to be his thing.

Wow. And here I thought that phrase "full faith and credit of the United States" was overused.

Holy crap.

"I wanted a red one also although BlackWatch seems to be his thing."...

the only place I can buy these.
Ya.....BlackWatch...he prefers it. lol!

and you are so lucky! Both of you that is!

Congratulations!!!
