Two weeks ago I posted this (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=102772&page=1&pp=15). We still have yet to find his owners.

As of today we have made it official, we are going to keep him. We've named him Jake. I called today to make him an appointment to be neutered. :)

Here at the house things have gone pretty well. He's learning the rules and routines well. Since he's been here he's had to learn not to chase the other dogs or run in the house. He had no concept of the size difference between him and the others, but now seems to understand that he has to play nice and easy with them (he is allowed to roughhouse with us when we say it's alright to do so). He's learned to sit and he's learning to stay. He's learned to wait and not bolt out the door when I open it to take them outside (probably how he got loose in the first place). He's learned that the cats are not there for him to chase (though I still don't trust him alone with the cats). All in all he's doing really well.

Justin and I were planing on getting a large dog in the near future, he just came a little sooner than we were planing.

The closing on our new house has been pushed a couple weeks because the other couple still has a few things to take care of before we can close. But once we get into our new house he and the other dogs will have 5 acres to run and play! We're really excited for that. :)

I knew you were going to wind up keeping him! Does he have any signs of neglclet? Because maybe this is why you can't find the owners. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS to you! He doesn't have to worry anymore. :)

He doesn't have to worry anymore. :) No signs really of neglect, but I'd say not the best care either. His coat has a very rich color, but isn't in too good of a condition. I'm sure that will improve on a good diet. He also had very dirty ears and his nails needed to be cut. They weren't so bad I call it neglect though. He's a very happy and extremely friendly dog. He thinks he's a lap dog. :rolleyes: :D

I can't believe I have 6 dogs. When I say the number it sounds like a lot, but dogs are such pack animals I hardly notice it. Nacey and Nova might as well be one dog, they're practically inseparable. :)

He is gorgeous, and looks like he's made himself right at home! His coloring is soooo pretty, it's like Boxer brindle coloring, but he's sure not got a Boxer head!

And for a completely silly reason, I am glad he's got a sleek coat, being named Jake. My Uncle Jake had a crew cut my whole life, and whenever he met a young man with longer (than 1/4") hair, he'd say "Get a haircut!"

Congrats on the new addition. ;) Do you think he could have some American Staffordshire Terrier or Basenji in him?

That's exactly what I've been calling him.

I don't know how old he is, 9 months- 1 year is a guess.

Aww, congrats! Jake is absolutely adorable :) I'm so happy for him and for you, it was fate that brought you together.

He really reminds me of a PitxACD named Chase who lives near us, he's the sweetest! I can't believe your pups will have 5 acres to themselves, that's awesome 0_0 Gonzo is jealous.
