hi all, i was looking for some info on the above breeds and stumbled onto here...defientely an interesting forum y'all got...
well, here goes. my aunt has coworker who found a paper-bag of puppies left on the side of the road. :( she wants to adopt one, but my uncle won't have it (they have 4 dogs currently and 3 cats...) so she wants me to adopt one. both of my dogs are overseas with my parents, and i miss them alot.
we have a westie and a german short-haired pointer.
She's offered to get the shots and spay/neuter the dog, so i wouldn't have to pay for that.
I just got back from overseas myself with the military, where we adopted a mutt-afghan dog[Mick] who was a sweet heart(and now lives in maryland! :)) but grew to a huge size.
we're planning on going to visit the puppies tonight, i haven't even seen them yet.
I was wondering if anyone knows much about a pit/lab mix specifically. i know most mixes you won't find much specific info since it's different with each one, but maybe a guestimate on size/temperament?
now i know you can't pick a dog and 'design' them to a certain size and everything, especially a mutt..but i'd still like to get a certain size dog...
'Precious' our pointer, is the size dog i'd really enjoy. not small like a terrier, nor fullsize. but larger enough to go running with. I don't know her weight, like i said she's my parents and i can't estimate that well...
I honestly wasn't looking for a dog at this time...but this sorta just came up...
I dunno, i guess i just want some one to convince me to adopt one, since i'm kinda on the fence right now.
