Photo: The Shadow Knows
Tweet
Leafy shadows on Jasper’s hindquarters lead me to a discovery.
Jasper was part of a litter that was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana, and was nicknamed Silver Boy by the rescue group because of the gorgeous and unique silvery fur on his face. Everyone asks me what kind of dog he is, and I usually reply by saying something like, “Exactly. What kind of dog is he? Your guess is as good as mine.”
At home, I just like to refer to Jasper as a Comfort Hound because his favorite activity is relaxing on the couch. Or a chair. Or a bed.
But in this photo, I think his true colors show. Jasper is a Silver-coated Leafbutt Shadow Hound. Now you know.

HAHAHA!!!! I love both those designations you gave Jasper! 😀
He is truly a Comfort Hound. He loves his soft cushy spots.
Hehe! Our dogs are our shadows.
Good one. And very true!
That is exactly the breed that I figured Shadow was! BOL!
LOL. Dogs amuse me, even if they don’t realize it. 😉
Haha! At first I thought that was dirt on his rear from playing in the mulch bed. Leafbutt is much better than dirtbutt, lol!
Dirt would be more likely for most dogs. But Jasper is a princess, and doesn’t like getting dirty. Leafbutt is funny, though.
Jasper is of a very interesting breed indeed! I have to say that I have not seen too many of these Leafbutt Shadow hounds. LOL Those are quite some markings!
It amused me really. I thought the photo was funny.
Hmmmm…we must be Comfort Cats because all we do is relax on the couch or chair or wherever.
I think all cats are comfort cats. They make relaxation an art form.
LOL! Those Leafbutt shadow hounds are totally RARE! Looking good, Jasper! 🙂
The leafbutt shadows are cute! Jasper is gorgeous, no matter what type of pup he is!
Very cute 🙂
You’ve just given me the correct words to use when describing Harley – Comfort Hound. It’s PAWfect – thanks
Jasper that’s an unique design… will you wear snowflakes in winter?
Purrfect description. Our dad’s answer to questions like these was always thoroughly bred. Jasper’s legs appear to be silvery as well. XOCK. Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Great answer. Jasper is an unusual color for a dog. We’ll never know what he is really, though my trainer thought he might have some Catahoula in him, since he came from Louisiana and Catahoulas often have silver tones in their fur.
I love that! And clever descriptions are always welcome, I think. When I worked in a veterinary office, we had a client with a rather large chihuahua mix. When people asked him what kind of dog he had, he replied that he had a “Great Northern Chihuahua.” Many people didn’t know he was kidding. Good times.

Now that’s a good one. I’ll have to remember that.
