What dog breed looks like a fox?

wow. I'm pretty knowlegable in dog breeds as well and have been reading about all different breeds since I could read, but I am puzzled. I hope you figure it out though because I am interested to know what breed it is. good luck to you

Try an American Eskimos, or Bergers De Pyrenees. If it was a smaller dog try a Continental Toy Spaniel, then there is the Eurasian, or the Greenland dog, Iceland dog, The Karelo-Finnish Laika, the Keeshond. All these could look like a fox. I'm going through my "Dogs of the World" book and there are so many it could be. While I have no doubt that your sister knows the difference between a Golden retreiver and a lab, there really are hundreds of dog breeds we just don't see everyday.

I own a red-sesame Shiba-Inu and people tell me she kinda looks like a fox. She really did when she was younger, but then the black turned white. I really don't reccomend purchasing any animal based solely on looks though. A LOT of research needs to be done first. Shibas are stubborn, can be quite aggressive, and try to run away just as much as a fox would. It sounds to be like you're a bit more "dreamy" and I gotta be honest, that's a pretty shallow reason to want a pet. Sounds like you're just after image. If you truly want a dog, then adopt one. Shibas are a bit rare in shelters, but there's thousands of great dogs in need of homes.

it might have been a pembroke welsh corgi. they come in a color that looks like a red sort of like a fox. the only thing is though most people dock (cut off) the dogs tail because it can get infected because they don't have much control over it and then they step on it which hurts the tail. but if you do fid one without a docked tail they are quite bush and fluffy like a foxes.

Does this look/sound familiar? Norwegian

That's my best guess.

Good luck

ADD: That New Guinea Singing Dog is beautiful, and it really does look like a fox! Very cool! Thanks for coming back and posting the pictures.

My guess would be a red schipperke. Althoguh the most common colour is black, other whole colours are allowed. A red schipperke, with full taiil could look pretty muc like a fox

This is a photo of a black dog, put it is possible to see the resemblance to a fox. I will try to find a picture of a red dog. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc...

We have pomeranians...they are fox faced. Poms come in Fox face and teddy bear. So maybe that's what she meant. Our blue merle girl looks very much like a fox

Shiba Inu is the dog breed that looks like fox.

The only dogs I can think of that would have a fox look to them would be a Shiba Inu or the bigger Japanese Akita. American bred Akitas usually have the darker faces, but Japanese bred ones tend to have the orangeish red coloring that most Shibas have.

Edit: lol, do any of you people answering even know what a fox terrier looks like? It's NOTHING like a fox! It just gets it's name from the fact that it was bred to hunt foxes...geeze.

I just saw a dog yesterday who looked very fox-like. I asked the owner what breed it was and he said it was a Finnish Lapphund. Here's a link to images: https://www.google.com/search?q=finnish+lapphund&e...

His wasn't quite as bushy as the images in the Google search but did have a slight fluffy coat. He said they were bred to herd reindeer.

Hope it helps.
