most people just call
chihuahuas Chis,
Chinese Cresteds are usualy just Cresties

just a couple more to add

Ah .. thanx!!

I've also seen
"Sibe" more than "Husky" at least from people in the breed.
'Cav' for Cavalier
"Cardi" for Cardigan Welsh Corgi
EF & AF-English and American Foxhounds

never knew that thanx

shelties are shetland sheepdogs

Chihuahuas are "chis"

My Treeing Walker Coonhound is ofter just referred to as a "Walker" or TW

Ibizan Hounds are sometimes referred to as 'Beezers'.

Don't forget

IW: Irish Wolfhound
SDH: Scottish Deerhound
Greys: Greyhounds
PH: Pharaoh Hound


I'm sure I'm forgetting a few...

I thought I add em thanx

Pembroke Welsh corgis are called Pems a lot.

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers are much more often referred to as a Toller rather than NSDTR. Just thought I'd mention that because hearing/seeing the word Toller seems to confuse a lot of people for some reason.

People also call American Staffordshire Terriers, Amstaffs as well as AST's

Bullmastiffs are most of the time called Bullies

So in my house we have 1 ACD, a big Bullie and a couple rotten rotties

Borzoi are often called zoi.

Italian Greyhounds are also Iggies.

Same with Pembroke Welsh Corgis, I've never heard someone call them a PWC, and only once someone knows that they're a corgi do they call them Pems. I've never had someone come up and ask me to pet my PWC or my Pem, they always, always just say corgi.

Or Bozos

To clarify on the Husky VS Sibe thing, Husky refers to any nordic freighting dog (alaskan husky, alaskan malamute, canadian inuit dog, sakhalin husky, greenland dog..etc) whereas Sibe refers to specifically Siberian Huskies

American Eskimo Dogs are usually just called Eskies. Greyhounds also called "Greys" Italian Greyhounds have been called Iggies. "Mal" can be for Alaskan Malamute OR Belgian Malinois

A few others..

AB or AmBull for American Bulldogs
CO for Caucasian Ovcharka
CAO for Central Asian Ovcharka
Sars for Sharplaninetz
Deltari [Illir] for Albanian Shara Mountain Dog

Thats all i can think of for now...
