Is this red heeler a purebred?

My initial instinct is no. his ears are too round and his face reminds me of a Shiba Inu/Akita.

@praisethelordjesus It's impossible to tell, but honestly, could go either way. This breed isn't curated as obsessively as some, and you could easily have a "pure" line that looks like this cute little doggo. No real reason to lose sleep over it, either.

@praisethelordjesus That blocky head suggests bully breed to me, but I could be very wrong.

@praisethelordjesus They are. They've existed now as a breed with regular traits for quite some time, they're just 'newer' compared to other hunting/working dogs, or most existing breeds as of right now.

@praisethelordjesus His face shape and tail make me think part chow. Definitely looks mostly acd, but forsure mixed with something else.

@maxhiner699 i just looked up what a Chow Chow is. wow that thing is furry, hard to see it's face behind all the fur but I can see why you think it's mixed like that.
