Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What kind of dog is this?
My new dog, a starving stray under all that fluffy fur I can feel his ribs. The finder has had hime for 2 weeks and no one has claimed or advertised for him, so she finally took him for shots and put up adoption notices.
The vet thought a lab mix, the finder says a duck tolling retriever mix whatever that is. He has the softest red fur.
I had bought more Innova from the kennel this morning and good thing, he has tucked away a *lot* of it this evening.
He may have abuse issues, he cowered the first time I tried to pet him and the finder said that happened to her also. Other than that he seems like a sweet dog.
He is having issues with my other large dog who is a GSD pup, both of them ought to be neutered, they are growling at each other. I am planning to take my time on a full intro.
The finder named him Rusty, we are still thinking the name over.
For those of you who have experience, what would be your guess as to what kind of mix this is?

No black tongue. The vet thought he was about 2.
The fluffy fur is kinda chow-like, isn't it?

Well, that drains my "what it might be" Bank. LOL
He is beautiful.
What he is............is a lucky boy to have found a good loving home.
You will be blessed as well to be able to share his life.
Best of luck with him.
I lost my beloved Froggy (pug) last fall, and still have not been able to gt a new pup.

What a beautiful dog, what gorgeous eyes! What is his tail carriage, over his back or straight? Maybe Golden Retriever/husky with those eyes?

Yvonne, he does kind of carry it curved up when he walks. His eyes are yellow/amber which I have not seen a lot in dogs.
Ginger, I am sorry for your loss; and each grief takes its own time. I did not think I could have another dog for a long time, but something about how much this dog needed a family touched my heart.

Ah, I thought they were blue. Hmmm. He looks short-coupled too, like he inherited a compact body type from at least one of his parents. Is his coat double, does he have guard hairs and fuzzy undercoat?

It is double.
Some folks I talked to thought he might be a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever....

Well, water going dogs except for the Labrador have double coats; I found a great site with lots of pix. That's the best match I've heard so far! http://www.tollers.com/
