What kind of terrier is he?

I recently saw a dog at the local animal shelter and his information simply said terrier. He resembles very much a border terrier (shorter hair, wiry) but he is much larger and solid gray except for his white 'beard'. What do you think he could be?

Probably just a terrier mix. Possibly with schnauzer.



Most shelters just give a generic description of a dog - if it's got wiry hair it's a terrier, a curly tail is a northern breed, a blue eyed dog is a husky (despite there being many breeds that have blue eyes), black %26amp; tan is a dobie or rottie, unless it's small, then it's a dachsund, anything with more than three spots is a dalmatian mix, etc.



Mixes are the best kind to have. When people ask what kind of dog it is, make up something, I used to tell people my dog was a Hungarian Upidstay. There was always someone who would nod their head and tell me that their uncle used to breed them. LMAO!
