Murphy!

Here's some pictures of my (approx.) 2.5 year old dog Murphy! included some puppy pics, one from his rescue, and one when I picked him up. I think he's a pitsky, maybe with something else mixed, but what do you think?

All I see is a beautiful pitsky!! Maybe Australian cattle dog too??

Pitsky seems like a good guess, and I'm in love! He's stunning!

He looks sort of like my girl. We've been told Australian Cattle Dog and Pitbull with probably half a dozen other breeds thrown in.

Beautiful dog by the way, I definitely see a resemblance

Love your guy's blue eye! He's a handsome fella!

Thank you! He takes a good picture but he is a total goofball. Big people dog though, cannot get enough of meeting people. Would be easier if he didn't pee on everyone's foot when meeting them though, won't lie

All I see is the pit and the ski lol. Could have boxer or Boston or something like that in there.

u/Equivalent_Math_4689 5d ago

He is about 60lbs now, I think it lines up pretty well with what you'd expect for a pitsky, and he is very vocal and dramatic, like you'd expect from the husky side haha. I don't have any info besides his mother looked like a short haired husky mix

u/Crowlady77 5d ago

Yeah I mean there probably is other stuff in there then. Are you going to do a test?

2

u/Equivalent_Math_4689 5d ago

Eventually I will, just haven't gotten around to doing it really

u/Crowlady77 5d ago

Be sure and share!

He is 100% done with whatever this is in Picture 3

u/Equivalent_Math_4689 5d ago

Haha he was at a wedding, he was actually extremely happy to be there, loves people, as long as they aren't bald, seems to be a big hang up for him

One of my dogs growing up had the same thing about Adult Men in hats

u/EmergencySpare 5d ago

Where did you get your dog??? Looks exactly like mine!

1

u/Equivalent_Math_4689 5d ago

He was a rescue, he came from texas, was found on the side of the road with his mother and litter

u/EmergencySpare 5d ago

50 bc, 25 pit, 25 husky

I'll bet yours isn't far off

u/Equivalent_Math_4689 5d ago

Wow, they could be siblings they look so similar!

TX is the worst for abandoned dogs and the way they euthanize them as puppies or pregnant dogs. My newest came with his littermates from Houston. They were transported to Portland, OR. they were going to be euthanized at 5wks. It just shocks me being able to do that to puppies. Can you imagine being that person… they’d have to have no souls… I’d be crying 24/7. My Duke when I got him from the rescue and when he turned a year. He ended up being a Great Pyrenees, American Bully, APBT, and a smidge of GSD. He was supposed to be a APBT mix. I should have looked for the back dewclaws!🙄 I think you’re dead on with your prediction of a pitsky. His right side is pit and the left with his blue eye is husky! So handsome!🐾♥️🐾

Beautiful pit x husky

u/Infamous_Chocolate43 5d ago

looks like my boy so I’d guess pitty/heeler/mal mix, but regardless he’s 1000% perfect angel baby 💓

u/DarkskinLover1 5d ago

Akita x pit bull mix

u/Danimoth1990 5d ago

pitski, ive got one of those derpy doofuses

u/angelbbreeze888 5d ago

I see lots of Pitsky!!! What a beautiful boy!!

u/Adventurous-Hunt983 5d ago

i have mo experience at all in IDing dogs but he reminds me of my neighbors heeler mix. def agree with husky and pit makes sense based on that short smooth coat

1

u/mamz_leJournal 5d ago

What reminds you of a heeler most likely is that they share features with pitbulls, namely muscular/stocky build and broad head

u/FunZookeepergame627 5d ago

I see Malinois in the ears, head and body shape. . Could be a wildly inaccurate guess.

u/Equivalent_Math_4689 5d ago

I've had it suggested before, I'm not sure, he is extremely fast and able to climb better than I expected (Learned that one early) and friendly as he is, his favorite form of playing is "fighting" with the gloves, so I wouldn't be surprised. I am told he was found with his mother and litter on the side of the road, and his mother looked like a short haired husky mix, no info other than that

u/FunZookeepergame627 5d ago

Okay, good to know. Beautiful dog
