This dog started out a small handful of fur. He was a rescue puppy.
This is Mojo, we think he is a dachshund chowchow mix. He has the black spotted tongue and the skin around his face is kind of loose, so if you scrunch it up he totally looks chow.
This little guy (full grown at 21 pounds) came from a hoarding situation--40 dogs in a house. The report says that the identifiable breeds were dachshund, beagle and chow, so it is assumed that he's a mix.
Someday I'll do the DNA test to try to get a definitive answer. People think he's a Golden Retriever/Corgi mix, but I doubt there's a drop of either breed in him.
Does anyone else have a doxie/beagle/chow mix that looks like this?
This is our 1 year old male dog Mojo. His father was full blooded Golden Retriever and his mother was a full blooded black Chow Chow. We are often asked if Mr Mojo is a Newfie and he truly seems to look like one. He is very intelligent, loves to swim (he even tries to save my children when they are swimming with him) and he loves the snow in the wintertime. We are very blessed to have him in our lives.
Daisy May loves hiking in the Rocky Mountains of the USA with me (here she is all dirty and happy!) Although the Chow Chow part doesn't like swimming, she loves to go into the water up to her belly; we call her "from the 'wading class'." We laugh at her Chow Chow attitude. She is my "lifetime best dog!" She is also a rescue dog from the pound. She loves children and our cat. I also have a rescue Pigeon who hangs out together with Daisy in the front yard, to the amusement of cars and pedestrians going by.
