what is the largest , white , long haired , dog breed?

Question

A dog used to wander my old neighborhood it was pure white , long haired , 4feet long from shoulder to haunch , kinda shaped like a husky on steroids w/longer normal dog tail ,very intelligent look in his eyes as he would calmly aproach , looked me up and down , as if to say i'm gonna go tag that ***** of yours . Hopped a 5' fence in stride and procceded to impregnate my white lab. Nothing I could or would do ,dog was bigger than me on its hind legs & I'm 6'3". He cleared the fence on the way out with the same easy stride , nodded and swaggered off. Never have known what breed ,some said wolf but the ears weren't as long. So what was it?

The pups appearances ranged from large to huge muscled labrador, to a perfect silver and black normal sized german police dog that kept us company for 12 yrs.

Answer 2

I have a HUGE white German shepherd that has a little wolf in him that sounds pretty much like what you're describing. I am 5'9"and his back feet (toe to ankle) are as long as mine (size 9).

There are also things known as Great Pyrenees. They look more like a white St. Bernard, but they are bigger than my dog.

Answer 3

Perhaps a Great Pyranese. They're quite large, white and have long hair. Also could have been a white shepherd.

And why is your ***** not spayed and just hanging out in your yard? Are you going to step up and take care of that?

Answer 4

Kuvasz , An Irish wolf hound, or scotish Deerhound. or a Borzoi they can be all rather large dogs.

edited to add: Male dogs will to anything to get to a female in heat. I am not surprised that he jumped the fence.

Answer 5

Either a Great Pyrenese or a Samoyed.

I'm thinking it was a big samoyed...they look a lot like huskies but are much larger and much bigger around.

Answer 6

Sounds like a Samoyed:

Answer 7

Great Pyranese

Answer 8

The largest white long haired dog I'm familiar with is a Komodor. Here's links for you to check it out to see if that's the dog you are referring to. If it isn't, you'll enjoy learning about this dog-it's massive and amazing with it's long shaggy coat

Answer 9

Could be a great pyranese. Maybe a mixed dog, but I would look up the great pyranese and see if that is your suspect.

komondors are also huge and white, but what you describe is a G.P.
