I'm guessing that Lily is part Chow and part Rottweiler and maybe part something else. I love black and tan colored dogs, and I REALLY love them when they are dressed with a little bit of white. Very striking! And don't you love those expressive eyebrows? They can be laying on the floor and looking like they are sound asleep, but those moving eyebrows give them away every time. LOL
Because she is a rescue, we aren't sure, but believe she is an astralian shephard. She is the sweetest dog. I am so glad I have her.
She has grown a lot in two years. She still looks sweet
Could definitely be Aussie there, too, but the litter mate with the blue spots on the tongue indicates Chow or Sharpei ancestry. The general head conformation is very like a Rottie, but the sweet personality could come from Australian Shepherd. Mixed breeds are always like grab bags; you never know for sure what you are going to wind up with, but you can always be sure it will be worth more than you paid. :-)
She's beautiful! Love those eyebrow spots.
She is beautiful and you are both lucky to have found each other.....Carol
