Let's test my memory. Jack is a short hair poodle cross? Sable is a pit husky? Delilah is a malamute, and Tilly is a hound airedale.

Don’t be sorry! Lol I loved reading it.

I have a shih-tzu mix and my mother had 2 full. Not related. But I took care of her and her dogs for about 5 yrs. They were sweet little things. Mine, not so much.

I know he looks nothing like the breed but I have him shaved. I got him from the Amish here. He was just a little thing and still w/ his mama who was full blooded shih-tzu. He kept growing and growing so I went back to the farm and asked to see his dad. He was Huge ! I dont know how those 2 ever mated or she was able to have the pups but there he is. His hair parts, he has the tail curve, he dont shed.

That makes total sense! Definitely a lot of time!!

she just made it like yesterday or the other day lol

That’s a big dog! Especially for a female haha



I feel like we have the same conversation with my dad and brothers lol they’re always looking at big huge dogs since Gator

My brother and his fiancée did adopt two Pyrenees mixes though (at different times, not related ha) and I think my brother expected them to be huge, especially the male, but they’re not.

Libby is. Sort of. Built like a tank and probably at least 80 pounds. Frank is like 60, 65, at most, Aussie/small Golden size

I think he wanted him to be a 140 pound moose like Gator LOL

He does act more Pyrenees though now that he’s grown up/matured ha



X2



you are gonna have every breed just like me one day!



Awww I’m sorry.

I found a journal thing last week that had some entries from when we first got Gator and I got a bit sad myself

So I get it



Aww what kind of dog was he?



LOL I bet!!

Sparky was a mix. His mom was a German wire hair pointer and dad was a weimareiner.(sp)
Never can spell that breed.

Let's test my memory. Jack is a short hair poodle cross? Sable is a pit husky? Delilah is a malamute, and Tilly is a hound airedale.

Got all of them except my Jack.

Jack is Sparky's brother so a German wired weimareiner.
Can't beat that German engineering.

Jack is 110# big ole smarty pants.

A small taste of what I deal with throughout the day.....turn up the volume and replace the puppy with a baying coon hound.

The howlathon bay off occurs multiple times a day here.
it is LOUD.

For anyone thinking of a malamute....
They are a very dominant breed, need a strong consistent leader, shed A LOT, require brushing 2-3 times a week, have a lot of energy, are bred to pull so walks are a challenge, have a very strong prey drive, can fling dirt at least 30 feet when digging to China, and are BIG. Oh I forgot to mention.....loud.

Things to be aware of.
