http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Dogmomma/19935 OK guys, I've had a few hundred foster dogs over the past six years but this one has me stumped! Meet Casey, who arrived here this morning.&nbsp; She's small, maybe 30 pounds, thin like a Saluki or whippet, those type of ears and some border collie coloring but no body features.&nbsp; She's set to get spayed this Wednesday and will be up for adoption.&nbsp; Help me decide what breed to call her so I can list on Petfinder.com.

Leslie at Canine Canyon Ranch en-us I'm definately no expert, but looks like shepherd and something to me... maybe greyhound... although that would make for a pretty large dog!!  Aren't there some breeds of terrier with that long face/nose? She reminds me a lot of a my high school boyfriend's dog...wish I could remember what kind of mutt she was!
