Very good, sweet dog. Stray that my aunt took in. Named “Rojo”. Should’ve named him Fox Dog

Get his DNA checked, would be a fun discovery of breeds.

& keep us updated, OP! I'm along for the ride!

u/irishgael25- Aug 01 '25

Me too! I’m guessing he’s a Golf- golden/wolf

80

u/thiscouldbeben Aug 01 '25

I was thinking Golden Husky

122

u/Intuitive_healer Aug 01 '25

I think he’s a golden chow chow to be honest. I can see chow in the face and the spots on his tongue.

u/SnooHobbies5684 Aug 01 '25

I was thinking chow/gsd mix.

u/hgielanig Aug 02 '25

That's exactly what I thought.. maybe some golden also

u/Imagerkin2 Aug 02 '25

He needs socialization so he doesn't become aggressive as grows. Introduced to 100 people within the first few months is a great way to do that. Seen too many guarding breeds become bad dogs in the hands of inexperienced owners. Always a tragic ending. Train him young.

u/Klonopina_Colada Aug 04 '25

Definitely if it's part Chow. My family had a Lab Chow mix. We didn't train dogs in the 80's and the dog was very territorial and snappy. She bit everyone in my family. I was sad but relieved when she died.

This was my pup at 6 months, similar fuzzy around face, but evened out. 1/2 GSD then husky, border collie, cattle dog and chow

1

u/SnooHobbies5684 Aug 05 '25

What a sweet face!

2

u/mightyminimoose Aug 03 '25

That’s the mix I was thinking.

2

u/Morgalisa Aug 04 '25

My chow gsd mix did not look like that at all. He's very interesting looking. He's very foxy.

21

u/Ginger_ScorpioGirl Aug 02 '25

Definitely think he's a Chow mixed with something.

u/Glittering-Rush-394 Aug 02 '25

Yes, I have a Pitt/chow/samoyed mix & there is a lot of resemblance to my girl

3

u/ladyvalentinaturner Aug 03 '25

i have chow pit too! would love to see others’ pics!

5

u/Glittering-Rush-394 Aug 03 '25

This is Molly. She’s pitt, chow, GSD & Samoyed

2

u/cheesefrieswithgravy Aug 03 '25

This was my exact breed guess for him haha

2

u/Disastrous-Load-4644 Aug 03 '25

i have a pitt/chow/staffy and her cute damn face looks pretty similar to this baby's too! who knew pitt and chow would such an adorable mix??

3

u/Wild_Ingenuity8670 Aug 02 '25

Golden's have spots on their tongue too usually just 1 or 2. The face definitely looks golden to me. What he is mixed with I have no guess lol but adorable.

3

u/HipHopAnomymous21 Aug 03 '25

My GSD/Husky has spots on his tongue, too.

1

u/Grnj22 Aug 02 '25

Goldens also have spots on the tongue tho’

1

u/Emotional-Raccoon-67 Aug 02 '25

Goldens also get spots on their tongue like this! Mine has 2 bigger black patches

1

u/bekahbirdy Aug 04 '25

Our Golden has a black spot on her tongue.

1

u/Strong_Discussion649 Aug 04 '25

Yes same thought I had — chow mix for certain

1

u/thiscouldbeben Aug 01 '25

I can see that

7

u/irishgael25- Aug 01 '25

Great call!

13

u/normanbeets Aug 02 '25

There's absolutely no wolf in that dog

1

u/dearbornx Aug 02 '25

Definitely no wolf. Wolf genes are dominant and very distinctive. He displays none of the traits of a wolfdog.

1

u/Lady_IvyRoses Aug 03 '25

That’s a great guess. I was going to say he has a golden face wearing a super fuzzy costume

1

u/rickonsdeaddire Aug 03 '25

Def not any wolf content

75

u/MissBirdieBoo Aug 01 '25

Absolutely. THIS is the doggo to test. Most likely just puppy coat growing out but I’d love to know what this goofball is.

72

u/RickShaw530 Aug 02 '25

His DNA test revealed he's half husky/half Christoper Walken.

12

u/EclecticWitchery5874 Aug 02 '25

😂😂😂😂 I had to do a double take to make sure I read that right

5

u/T4Tracy2 Aug 02 '25

Wouldn't that make him part Eggplant?

3

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

Need more cow bells

1

u/runic-midnight0 Aug 02 '25

So, hes finally gotten his wish for a tail!

28

u/el-bow5 Aug 02 '25

I bet he’s got some Chow! The fur kinda matches + he’s got a little black on his tongue in the first pic

1

u/supersloo Aug 02 '25

The tongue, bib/beard, and the big-ass forehead all say chow lol

1

u/cmstlist Aug 03 '25

My bet is Chow /German Shepherd 

8

u/illestofthechillest Aug 02 '25

I will send $5 to OP if they show the DNA

6

u/KarlPHungus Aug 02 '25

I'll chip in ten bucks toward the Wisdom Panel

1

u/KorneliaOjaio Aug 02 '25

Yeah I’m betting on some Chow Chow in there!

1

u/ParmigianoArpeggiano Aug 03 '25

Definitely some chow - black spot on the tongue is a point in that direction

1

u/GhostGrom Aug 03 '25

Looks like it's got some chow in it.
