What Kind of Animal is Thurmon?

Here are some of the many theories we hear about what kind of dog Thurmon is:

- a small Akita
- a large Shiba Inu
- a Husky mix
- a Shepherd mix
- a Great Dane (just kidding - that was Mark's idea of a funny joke)
- a mini-wolf (only one small girl has pegged him for that)
- a fox (not sure if this was entirely complimentary)
- a cat (due to his prominent whiskers)
- a baby seal (this one is my theory - he has the same black markings on light fur)
- a polar bear (probably due to a similar theory as above)
- an Alaskan Malamute mix
- a Samoyed relative
- a Golden Retriever mix
- a shark (just look at that open jaw filled with teeth)
- the friendliest Spitz ever (that's the consensus at the vet)
- a Corgi mix (I can see it a bit in the forehead)
- a ferret (so now we think we should make him a t-shirt that says "My mama was a husky and my daddy was a ferret")

Only rarely has he been recognized as a Norwegian buhund. Although occasionally when we explain what breed he is, people have heard of it, and are excited to finally see one. We should start keeping track of what kind of dog he is most often!
