Dog of the Day: Yuko the Formosan Mountain Dog/Whippet Mix

I can’t think of too many breed mixes more random, but it seems like Yuko turned out okay. I think she’s a Taiwan rescue dog, too. These were taken during the one month of the year that whippets and whippet mixes don’t need sweaters in San Francisco: September.

If I had fur that short (which, alas, I do these days) and that little body fat (which I don’t, also alas!) I’d want a sweater too.

A very noble expression, on a very noble face.

    Looks alot like my Doggy!
    My service dog,Ziggy and I volunteered to walk dogs at the Shelter,that’s where we met Jax the mountain dog. He had been returned numerous times for being too active for (6)six years old. Ziggy passed away and they asked me to take him home and train him so he could get adopted. I adopted him, he is very loving, &smart. I’ll bet Yuko is also!
