What can I pretend he is? Lighthearted

[polkadotpjs]

Every time I tell people we've got a Border Terrier/ Patterdale cross pup I get the sympathetic looks and "ooh they canbe vicious/ trouble / you'll have your hands full/ oof why did you choose him".
So. I think I'm going to make breed up. DH suggestion was German shepherd crossed with Dalmatian . Any advance on that as a conversation starter/ stopper ?!
I should say that every so often we get "omg I love Patterdale and yours is beautiful". But rarely. Give me your amusing suggestions. Pic attached for inspiration

He's gorgeous!! A lovely cross between two fab breeds.....lucky you x

How about a PaBor? Sounds a bit more fancy😉

Miniature Labrador?

He looks like one of Santa's boots!!.
Tibooten terrier?

He's clearly a cockerpoo.

Tea cup labradoodle?

Aww he's gorgeous!

I didn't know they had that kind of reputation. My friend used to have a Patterdale and she was a little superstar.
Vicious to rats but not to people. She was ace

Maybe I'll combine those and say he's a California teacup black retriever. Confuse people. I know he's a mutt. I don't care. I love him. My old "mongrel" dog as a child would be a cocker poo now but a happy accident back then . He's so loving and cuddly. I think I'd just like to be a bit naughty and make up a new breed !

Can't you just say she's a Heinz 57?

Oh but that would be boring. I'd like to entertain myself whilst defending his lovely nature !

He’s adorable but just so you know when you tap on the picture you can see a line of photos from your photo stream on your phone at the bottom

A labradale?

The only Patterdale terrier I've ever got to know was owned by a lovely old man I used to chat to in the park.

He was a lovely sweet dog, although he had his moments; not vicious, just a bit bossy.

Border Terriers have always seemed quite a handful to me, and I've known a few.

A dog from two different terrier breeds is probably going to be a bit full on I imagine, which is probably why you get that reaction OP

He's a Miniature Patterbor surely?

I know people aren't deliberately being scaremongery but after 10 weeks of comments I'm ready to have a bit of fun that's all - I may go bigger and say I found him under a bush -"what do you think he is?" And say I've no idea. I guess I wasn't ready for people offering their opinions so readily! I've always had adult dogs before. Maybe it's the puppiness that invites the discussion!

Black labrador - bonsai version

Awwww sooo cute!!! He's clearly an elephant in disguise.

Now bonsai Labrador I love!! Can I carry it off with a straight face??!

We know our dog’s ancestry but he looks very like a completely different breed. I got tired of explanations and now agree that he’s whatever people think he is. Scottie? Yes. Cocker poo? Yes. Tibetan terrier? Yes.u

Bonsai Labrador is fab, miniature patterdale retriever? Leave people wondering the mechanics of a retriever and a small terrier mating

A Bordale?
Patterder?
A miniature Hellhound??
Vicious no. But Patterdales are notorious. Full of character and not the easiest to train. My mum has a Border and she’s a sweetheart with people but quite dog reactive.

Hamster/wolf cross?

Seriously, loving 'bonsai labrador'.

There was a guy on Twitter that used to make up breeds for his dog when asked at the park.

‘Yeah, she’s a purebred Oxnard Pike‘

He had a list somewhere of pretend breeds.
