I think this is what Faith is. Look at this dog on petfinder.com and tell me what you think.

Yeah that looks a lot like her, but probably not a very common mix.

Now heres a picture of Faith.

What do you think the chances are? They look exactly the same.

 

[manders626]

Wow! They do look a lot alike.......

They do look a lot alike, but I don't see boxer or whippet in that dog. If they don't know exactly how old the dog is, they don't know where he came from. Take it from a rescuer, when it comes to breed, we are just guessing. :wink: But hey, if you need to tell your neighbor Faith is a whippet mix, go for it!

They do resemble alot! But what is a whippet? I've never heard of that breed... :?:

You took the words right outta my mouth. They will just draw from a hat to find a breed. It is crazy to see some of the mixes they come up with.

apbtgurl26: a whippet is a smallish dog that looks like a mini greyhound

Maybe it'll be the new designer breed - but what'll they call it? Whixer? Boppet? Unless it has poo on the end it just doesn't sound as cute!

I had never heard of a whippet either. But I have looked on the internet and found some pictures of some that are brindle and thier face looks like Faith. I have always wondered in the back of my head if her brindle didn't come from a boxer. She has a very wiggly butt like my sister in laws boxer and she boxes like a boxer. But who knows. I just know if you look up whippet boxer mixes on the internet you will find some dogs that look alot like Faith.

But yes if I could show this to my neighbor, maybe she would stop being such a freak about Faith. I doubt it but who knows. All I know is no matter what she is, she is not going anywhere because she is my baby so neighbor might as well get use to her or move.

I don't think that dog is a boxer/whippet (IMO). Faith could be crossed with either of those, but I think there is APBT, AmStaff, or Staff somewhere in her. If I showed you a pic of my cousins dog you would think faith is her twin! She is APBT with boxer way way back in there somewhere.

Wouldnt have said Boxer or Whippet either, definetly terrier in there but no boxer, cute dog though.
