We had a corgi cocker spaniel mix dog and he was so cool. He had a thin sandy brown coat. Was wirey built, long tail and in between small and medium built. He looked like Odie from the Garfield cartoons. He was a great bird dog.
I had a dog that looked exactly like this. Our vet said he’s what would happen if you out every breed of dog together in a room and let them breed for 100 years. Weirdly, his mother was a pure bred sheltie.
No... cats definitely have breeds. Got a lap siamese right now, they *definitely have a distinct body type and personality traits. Go look up Maincoones too, they're very different to "cats" (domestic shorthairs)
Are they? I’ve never heard that term here. I most commonly hear Heinz 57 to describe this kind of dog. Sometimes mongrel or mutt, but bitzer is a new one on me!
That's sort of the default dog look. Dingos look very similar and they descend from domestic dogs, afaik. I guess if we didn't artificially create and preserve breeds, all dogs would've looked like that.
Yes, thank you. That does sound more accurate. But I didn't care about correcting that part since I would have had to look up whether dingos or wild dogs also came in from the cold like wolves. I just wanted to point out the directional error in the use of "descend"
I might have known once, but this morning I couldn't even remember if dingos and wild dogs were the same animal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not sure if this is found in other dialects of Spanish, but in Mexico they call them "perros mestizos", meaning "mixed-race dogs" or, more accurately, "mutts".
Fun Fact: It's also the name for people with indigenous and European heritage. I remember laughing when we got the vet papers and saw that my dog and I technically share a race.
I learned from r/doggydna about the standard "village dog". Anywhere in the world with a high roaming stray population will eventually develop into a very similar dingo-looking dog with basically the same features. Modern convergent evolution.
I had one like that. Greatest dog ever. She was smart as hell (she showed the other dogs, way dumber, how to escape the garden), full of energy and litteraly unkillable (no I mean it she survived : a run in with a car, multiple fights that SHE initiated, two strokes and lived to 22 years old when I assume she decided that it was enough and just merged with the Force or something)
A yellow dog represents a genetic average in feral populations, reverting to a natural, wild phenotype after generations of breeding without human control or intervention.
Yellow dog = village dog; rural dog; pariah; pye-dog; feral, free-ranging or ownerless dog; mongrel; cur.
