Puppy Breed: Unknown

Tay's mom says: Tay, so named after the Scottish river, is a true mongrel... a Heinz 57... a muttâ€¦ of indiscriminate parentage! We think some Jack Russell, some Staffordshire bull terrier maybe, perhaps even smooth collie? She came from a rescue home in Glasgow, where she was born. At eight weeks old it took her little time to take control of the household and win hearts. Even our five-year-old German shorthaired pointer has not been immune to her charms. Full of cheek and love, she is everything a healthy puppy should beâ€¦ but with extra special ears! Where they came from who knows, but as I write, one of them is definitely looking like itâ€™s going to stay pricked up. She is clever and quick to learn. Today itâ€™s how to get out of the garden -- unfortunately! Check out some more great photography by Tay's photographer.

Tay's ears are just precious! And she has such beautiful markings. 11 biscuits for Tay!

Feb 26, 2007 erinn

the little mark on her forehead is a perfect (sideways) heart!

Feb 26, 2007 allpupsRperfect

I love the argue/makeup pictures! Tay is a lovable bundle of puppy love - ears and all. I hope they stay the way they are now. 11 biscuits for Tay and her family!

Feb 26, 2007 flyingdachshund

The pictures of your two dogs playing are so funny and adorable...Tay almost looks like she could have some Pharoah hound in her in some pictures...have fun with them!

Feb 26, 2007 fluffypup

Feb 26, 2007 Johanna loves dogs

He's so CUTE, i could just squeeeeeeeeeze him...

Feb 26, 2007 Esther

awwwww! Tay is great, does she live around Dundee? If so you should take her and her brother to visit me!

Feb 26, 2007 BeachLover

Hello, Tay. You are an awesome girl! I think I see the staffordshire terrier in your beautiful eyes (and in your teeth - ha ha). You are a great representative for the Heinz 57 bloodline.

Have a great life!

Feb 26, 2007 Trevor's mom

Your photography is exceptional. The action shots of these two are very good. Tay is beautiful. Looks like a little bit of Pharoah Hound to me. Such a lucky girl to have found you and you her........

Feb 26, 2007 Terry C

MUCH Jack Russell Terrier.

Your German Shorthaired Pointer is a gorgeous dog, too!

Feb 26, 2007 yujismom

Tay is a bonnie wee lassie-thanks for adopting!

Feb 26, 2007 peanutsmom

OMG - those ears are awsome!!!!!! she is the cutest thing!!! I love her eyes too.

Feb 26, 2007 soxfan

She's adorable. She looks a lot like an Ibizan Hound. Check out these pictures I found, including an Ibizan puppy.

Feb 26, 2007 DogMom

Beautiful, beautiful girl! I agree w/some of the posters -- I think she mush have some sighthound in her. Those ears and eyes and nose --- what a simply delicious combination. The playing pictures are hysterical -- such a fierce little doggie!!!!!!

Feb 26, 2007 tish

Those wide-set blue eyes are unforgettable! What a remarkable puppy. People must stop and ask you her lineage. Agree some Ibizian likely. Bless you for adopting her.

Feb 26, 2007 Christina

That looks to me like a purebred Ibizan Hound. Either way she is adorable.

Feb 26, 2007 page89

OMGz!!!
I lOvE tHiS dOgGiE OMGz
tay you is tooo cute

Feb 26, 2007 bulldogmom

Tay- you beautiful pup! If she grows into those paws you are going to need a bigger house :) I just love those ears...

Feb 26, 2007 DKN

Much cuter than my Scottish Ex-Boyfriend. :)

11 biscuits!

Feb 26, 2007 adew2476

I could be wrong, but sure looks like there could be some Pharaoh Hound in there... the pale brown nose, the big ears, even the coloring.... if she stays skinny (like a greyhound) then surely she has some Pharoah in her! have fun, she looks like a bundle of FUN! :) (we have a pharaoh!)

Feb 26, 2007 dpiccus

I wish I could have one!! Love those eyes!

Feb 26, 2007 puppyl0ve

Love the ears!!

Feb 26, 2007 kawauso

Awww, I love those ears!
The play photos are precious, so funny.

Feb 26, 2007 dogsrule

GRRRReat Doggies!

The EARS!

The pup is a star and I love, love, love the action shots. I could watch dogs play all day.

Wonderful of you to adopt a stray. So many dogs need good homes full of love.

Feb 26, 2007 eslapin

He is the most handsome puppy ever!!! Those ears are a riot!

Feb 26, 2007 Blade

I'm guessing she may have [url="http://www.windhundw elt.de/...!!pharaoh-hound-026.j pg"]Pharaoh Hound[/url] in her. But of coarse now that I put that down I see someone else came up with the same argument!!

Feb 26, 2007 dkritter

I love, love, LOVE Tay's ears! So cute! Almost like bunny ears!

Feb 26, 2007 Myrriad

Nope, not a Pharoah. It is very unlikely that there would ever be one that is allowed to breed indiscriminately. Any combination of breeds will eventually produce a dog like Tay...primitive type, red/white (or fawn), prick ears, short hair. What a beautiful dog! Looks much like the Smooth Podengo Medio or Smooth Ibizan Hound, which were created in the same way (generations of dogs interbred, which produced the primitive type). It still happens today with moggies!

Feb 26, 2007 chefahoola

Tay looks really sweet with a lot of mischief thrown in. What a bundle of cuteness. 11 cookies.

Feb 26, 2007 puppyluv

She really looks a lot like a Pharoah Hound or Ibizan Hound.
Beautiful.

Feb 26, 2007 DOGS ARE BEST

well , whatever she is , shes a beauty for sure , i lean more to the ibizan look , but shes priceless at any rate !!! and looks very well loved too : ) she can have all the biscuits she wants : )

Feb 26, 2007 sheron

You Tay are a cutie for sure , just a little doll what a face : ) You look like FUN !

Feb 26, 2007 chultzee

Oh so cute! Mixed breeds are healthier dogs in the end. My best friend as a kid had a beautiful Heinz 57 with some wolf mixed in! He was the most striking and amazing dog I've ever known. You're very lucky, she's absolutely precious:) One of the prettiest little faces I've seen on this site yet:)

Feb 26, 2007 scobig

Tay is adorable! I love the pics. I love how your other doggie and Tay are fiercely engaged in play, then at the end sleepy time friends. So cute, made my day! Thanks for sharing, kisses to Tay!

Feb 26, 2007 Jackie

Beautiful dogs...love your close up photos...It looks like fierce play, but you can tell it is a gentle hold they have on one another...Very nice...Jackie

Feb 26, 2007 bunnied816

Tay is awesome!! Loved all the pix, but that last one - she's got such an "I'm ready - LET'S PLAY!!" look on her face, I'm about ready to jump a plane and do just that! What a beautiful girl - Thanks for adopting her, and thanks for sharing!

Feb 26, 2007 Loizhanne

tay is a special pup. the play shots are brilliant, and she certainly looks like she is enjoying the new life you have given her. please scratch those marvellous ears and stroke that happy nose for me. and your other baby, too.

Feb 26, 2007 Ishkabibble

With those unusual and fabulous ears, she'll always look like she's paying attention, even if she couldn't care less.

Feb 26, 2007 dawgluvv'r

She's beautiful!

Feb 26, 2007 Mom24pups

This is the cutest little thing I've ever laid eyes on. 11 bones!!!

Feb 26, 2007 doxietail

What a personality! I agree that she looks like she has some ibizan hound in her. I love the pictures of her with the German shorthaired pointer (who is also gorgeous)!

Feb 26, 2007 sthrnanni

she's ridiculously cute!!! i love mutts!!!

Feb 26, 2007 anon

oh my word! My jaw literally dropped when I saw Tay's picture on the front page. How absolutely precious is this little lady?! She instantly brought a smile to my face - how lucky you are to live with that little bundle of pure energy! The pictures of her with her handsome Pointer brother are too great...

love love LOVE this dog!

Feb 26, 2007 2beagles4me

Those are some great actions pictures!!!!

Feb 26, 2007 jack_russell_lover

tay is soooo awesome! i like the sides ways heart on her forehead that erinn mentioned.

Feb 26, 2007 faintsfromcutedogs

OK that made my day. Now can you please tell us where Tay gets the French manicures? We want an appointment :)

Feb 26, 2007 pupski

No way this is a mutt. She has to be an Ibizan. And a lovely one at that.

Feb 26, 2007 Mana

OMG those ears. I registered at dailypuppy.com just for these ears.

Feb 26, 2007 Lydia

What a cutie!! She is so pretty, you will have a lot of fun with this one! Lucky you, and great colors and expression!!

Feb 26, 2007 BrightRedScream

What a BEAUTIFUL pup!!! I giggled out loud when I saw the ears...I'm smitten :)

Feb 26, 2007 straysavior

Our kind of dog! She found a great home. Good luck with her.

Feb 26, 2007 Ellie

I love the brown nose. And those PERFECT little nails!

Feb 26, 2007 puppylover123456789

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! I dont think she could get any cuter!!! SOOO cute!!!!!!!

Feb 26, 2007 nina853

I love her markings and I like short hair dogs. She is perfect. Love her ears too.

Feb 26, 2007 TheTerrierist

Where others see hound, I see terrier . . . and LOTS of it! (The getting out of the garden bit is another major terrier clue.) There's Jack/Parson Russell in Tay's bloodline for certain . . . and I'm guessing more terrier besides. Her grip on the German short hair's nose is another tell-tale terrier sign. She sure looks like a pip. Have fun!

Feb 27, 2007 Cindy Thornton

Let me just say that I have the Daily Puppy on my Yahoo home page so it is the first thing I see each day and today I have told everyone about Tay and her ears. She is just to cute for her own good.Looks like you have a good one.Good luck with her future

Feb 27, 2007 teddyanddonniesmom

We have a basenji-whippet mix and an American Staffordshire-boxer mix that would, combined, look just like your puppy. Your puppies also seem to have boundless energy and similar playing skills to our dogs!

Feb 27, 2007 stellasmom

She's so pretty! She's got Scottish Fold ears!

Feb 27, 2007 CorgiMomma

What a beautiful and pixieish little pup! While she may grow to be at least as big as your GSP, she is not likely to lose the mischief! Good luck with her. ;-)

Feb 27, 2007 Sunnymel109

I love the ears, what a cute dog!!!

Feb 27, 2007 soshyviolet

Those ears are her trademark - definitley part smooth collie!

Feb 27, 2007 allimarie

Awwwwwwwww! As cute as she is, I bet her personality's even cuter!

Feb 27, 2007 brnwdrng

Looks like Tay can stand up for herself.

Mar 3, 2007 Snoopy's Mom

She is adorable! As the owner of two hounds, the origin of the ears caught my interest, so I did a little research. They look like they could be Ibizan Hound. Go to http://en.wikipedia. org/wik... for some great pictures of this breed.

Mar 5, 2007 feltlabbit

oh my i just stumbled onto this site and seeing all these OHSOCUTE puppies is making me hyperventilate!

Tay is SUCH a darling! Look at that face!! Aaaaaaaw!!!

Mar 15, 2007 preciouspals

I just had to say she is sooo cute. You should look up Pharaoh hound, she looks like one, but either way she gets 11 biscuits from me. Here is a link to a bunch of pictures I looked up: http://images.google .com/im...

Mar 20, 2007 dhivina

She's definately got some foxy in her, and just so you know I [i]love[/i] the last pic

Apr 16, 2007 allgodscritters

I don't have any comment on Tay's breed - doesn't matter, really. She is truly one of the most uniquely beautiful little ladies I have seen. She and your GSP seem to really enjoy each other. You have done a great job capturing moments with these two. They are both absolutely gorgeous. BTW, how do you keep Tay's pretty little nails so shiny and sweet-looking? Please do give them a big hug for me, will you? May you all have many wonderful, joy-filled years together~ ~

Jun 2, 2007 mling

Jul 26, 2007 dogluvr234

Too much! Of course the ears have it. Love the 'savage beast' pics with your other dog. She's a winner for sure. :-) :-)

Aug 7, 2007 Mummm

Jun 5, 2008 Slipsen
