What Dog Breed Do You Want Today!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Ilovemychicks08]

Right, "mixes" can be a genetic mess, but "designer" is usually carefully bred (except in cases where they aren't because people just want money and don't actually care about the dog). Just like folks breeding healthy purebreds, they make appropriate matches in the interest of the pup's health.

Im sorry if what i said came out wrong. I was not referring to your pups your looking at. Just a lot of people especially around are breeding mixes just for money with care about their health or temperament

Aussies are definitely one of the prettiest breeds

Oh no no, I know you weren't, you're fine! I know a lot of people are really irresponsible with intentional bybing. A healthy "oops" litter is so fortunate!

What happened to his tail? I saw you talking about it in the Dog thread.

He has Happy Tail. Basically he waps his tail so hard against things he cut it open. It was healing but now it seems limp.
Currently trying to get him im to the vet.

Ah, I see. I've read about Happy Tail before. I hope you can heal him up.

Denver our first pup was a oops litter and unfortunately her parents didnt have any health testing.

Upping the distractions is a concept I've been familiarized with, that makes sense. Thanks.
Do you think the shepherd/retriever mix would be considered "large breed"? Seems some sites say the weight range is or isn't. Most commonly I see "large" as 70+, but from looking at average weights from both breeds, the top average is just barely 70, but at the same time they seem too big to be "medium" dogs!

Large breed is considered 55+ lbs at least according to most dog food labels LOL
