Halo the Chicken

Our fearless rabbit killing dog demonstrated today just why she is NOT fearless at all. Halo is all bark and no bite, unless you're a rabbit. We are talking about a dog who is scared of the kennel door slamming, a little pink Barbie car that Matt's niece pushes around on the floor, soda cans/bottles cracking, whistles, and as we just found out today . . . a basketball dribbling. As Xena lunged for the ball and would slap it back to the kids, Halo crawled up into Lonnie's lap on the bench to get as far away from the basketball as possible. The kids even stopped dribbling it and brought it within inches of her, and I'll be darn that scared-e-pants tried to climb over Lonnie and Matt's shoulders. That is what the little chicken does every time she gets scared. She comes running, for my lap most of the time, shaking like crazy. For a 45 lb dog she acts all tough, belting out the silliest bark you will ever hear, yet she gets spooked over the silliest things. Since Halo has displayed characteristics of a dog, cat and chicken . . . our question is, what breed combination is this little mutt of ours really?!
