    Remy is a happy, well-adjusted, 11 month old with a question, “Have you seen my family tree?” Plucked from a New York shelter with the help of PetFinder, this handsome guy is curious about his ancestry.

    Some of his friends think he’s a lot like an Australian Shepherd

    Hmmm. Remy does like to play hard, especially when he gets to spend time with his Portuguese Water Dog buddy who lives in Melrose.

    Remy Sniffing for Clues

     

    Others are sure they see some Collie in his genes– Bearded Collie? Rough Collie? Maybe, Border Collie

    Remy is very friendly, so the fact that he has a reputation as a "big kisser" won’t surprise you.

    Wait, aren’t Bernese Mountain Dogs big kissers? After all, they’re often described as affectionate, loving, and sweet. And, Remy certainly has the same ears and coloring of that breed. But, what about that distinctive tail?

    Remy told us he’ll be checking the Comments Section of BostonZest for any ideas you might have about his relatives. What do you think?

    Get to know all of our Sunday Dogs at Boston Dogs.

    Brrrr! It's chilly this weekend, and we're pulling out some jackets for our little Westie, Maggie Mae. We're always amazed by how well her Fido Fleece Dog Coats hold up after winters of washing. Remember, if you're going to shop at Amazon, start from here, and they will reward us with a bit of BostonZest income.
