Well I am going to get my red head band head light on, and go on stealth manuvers and Eprinex yet another coop....waiting on pettec63.....at least it is not pouring buckets of rain this time.

My husband and I are thinking about getting a dog. I've never been much of a dog person in the sense that I enjoy other people's well mannered dogs, but haven't really considered one for myself (mostly due to not wanting to give up my habit of going barefoot in the yard), but we've talked it over off n on for a while and thought if the right dog came along, we'd go for it. My sister sent me a text this morning, she rescued a 5 or 6 week old pup from a very neglectful living situation and was wondering if we (or someone we know) would want to take her in in a few months after they get her healthy, fixed, trained, and socialized...they just don't want to be the permanent home because they already have a couple of other BIG dogs.

No clue on her breed, so I thought I'd post the pics she sent me here to see if anyone can help ID her and maybe give us some clues. Knowing what she is, how big she'll get, and some breed traits would really help us decide if she'll be a good fit for us. She has blue merle coloring, so I'm almost wondering if she's a pit or lab/aussie mix but I'm not great with my breeds...I hope ya'll can help me figure her out!

My guess is a pit bull mix.....got the brindle going...wide snout....white paws..............is it's tail very narrow & pointy like a pencil...or feathered like an aussie ?
Looks very sweet.......I love puppies !!!!!!!!!!!!

I really don't think there's much Aussie there. IF any. Speaking of I know somebody else who got a nice Aussie over the weekend. But Idon't wanna spoil it by showing pics with out permission.

There is a million of them homeless, and every dog "pound" is full of them.
Unfortunately they are a favorite breed of "undesirables" who do not have a great deal of (class?) or money...and the animals suffer for it.
Srucon is a BYC member (lives in Oly) and rescues and trains pit bulls.
She has rescued quite a few from pit fighting homes.
She has much bigger b**ls, than I !!!!
I'll tell ya what, her dogs MIND her !

Dang it and the little puppy pictures. I keep telling Zeus how cute of a puppy he was, too. Makes me want another dog now that these two are grown and mostly obedient.
