What is this little girl?

So I'm surfing craiglist per usual and there's a shelter dog listed as a Pyrenees mix but I think she looks a lot like a Leonberger... So, without further ado, Lacey:

Aww, she looks sad

Aw, she does look sad....and looks a lot like Cleo!

Which is why I was thinking a Leonberger!

anything is possible. I frequently check the free ads and have seen such things as free Cane Corsos, Carolina Dingos, Native American Indian Dogs, Filas, and other somewhat unusual breeds.

When it comes right down to it, rare breeds cost just as much to keep as do very common breeds. The difference is that many people don't feel that the marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit. So it's quite likely that it is just as difficult to find new homes for them.
And most animal shelters, like myself, are not well versed on rare breeds. Pretty much any black dog that enters a shelter is listed as Lab x.

Could be a Leo or Leo mix. Could also be a Saint/Golden Retriever mix. Remember Empty? The dog that played Dreyfus was a Saint/Golden mix.

I do not remember Empty but I can see golden/St.Bern mix. She still looks a lot like a leo to me. Thanks for the possibilities.

LOL That was supposed to be Empty Nest! Too many things going on this morning- at least in my brain!

She could be a Pyr/GSD mix as well, which could give her a mask. Anything is possible though.

Actually a COMMON cross here is Pyr/Anatolian...that is my guess on this girl.



If you google the cross on images you get a lot of pics that look just like that pup. The blaze on the nose screams Anatolian to me. And the smaller higher set ear.

Ah, well I tried. If she was a Leo I was thinking of contacting a breed rescue. Regardless, I hope she gets a good home.

You can certainly contact them...and Anatolian rescue as well. I am sure both have taken in their fair share of "maybe's"

Leo rescue is HERE

Thanks! Will do!

I sent both the Leo and Anatolian rescues an email so I hope they help her out soon, she looks too sweet and sad to be without a family.
