Mufasa's Parents?

[chocolatepuppy]

Have you ever owned a mutt and been curious as to what he/she was?

All the time. Although I do know what 1/2 of Layla is. I could believe the Shepherd/Golden mix. But just wondering,how much does Moo weigh? A Shepherd and a Golden would be about 60-75 lbs, maybe? Wouldn't he be a bit bigger if these two were his parents? Just a thought.

You call Mufasa a mutt?! That just sounds so demeaning.

I don't see how it's demeaning? He's a mutt. All 4 of my dogs are mutts. I call them The Muttlies.

I didn't mean that you meant it mean... I should have rephrased it, lol.

He's just such a cutie, and one of my faves on here.

As soon as I save some extra $$, I'm going to send away for Mz Klo's DNA. I'm so curious to see if she is what I think she is. It's more for my curiosity than anything. I love her no matter what. But she has so many different traits mixed together, I thought it'd be interesting to know.

Kay, those shameless lies (like it would matter..as long as you got custody of Mr Moo) turned into your priceless treasure! His widdle head tilt is a killer. Grab that face and kiss him all over for me pleeze....

Sometimes, I wonder how accurate those tests are, though. Some day, I'll send in Ivy's DNA and see if they can get it right. If the results are anything other than Dobie and Lab, I'll know they're just pulling names from a hat

I definitely see it. Irregardless, Mufasa is a unique looking muttlie.

And Ginger, I know what you mean. When people ask me what my two are, I tell them and then they stand there and argue with me. They can't be that mix, whoever told you that needs their eyes checked, or whatever. Yeesh!

Giselle if you do test the dna test let us know the results. Sadie goes to the vet today and I am going to see if they will test her. I'm way too curious to not know. I do hope it's accurate!

At least Mufasa has a great home now. I do hope if they lied to you that they have gotten their dogs fixed. Their are too many homeless creatures out there, why don't people realize that?

Another possibility is only one of those dogs is a parent to Mufasa, probably mother, and some unknown dog got her pregnant. Otherwise, they would be having litter after litter!

[cyber-sibes]

He does look like he could be a cross between their two, doesn't he?
Too bad they had to lie about it (if they did) - Their loss is your gain - Mufasa is such a handsome little guy! You'd know or sure if one of theirs does that little head tilt - I love that about him , it's a killer! Gets me every time!

Kay,

No matter what his heritage/background Mufasa is where he belongs - with you and your family Sometimes not so great things happen with the best of intentions - in this case, the outcome is ideal Moo has a perfect home and he is a happy boy - we can all be grateful for that

Took the words right out of my mouth! Kay, it does make sense that he might be a nice mix of a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever. What a terrific mix of two very special breeds.

What I know is that he has the perfect home, with the perfect mom!

At our clinic, the DNA tests are $200. At another local clinic, it costs about $170. Vet clinics pay about $80 but they charge you twice that, which is about $160+. I've seen some results and I really doubt the accuracy of the test, to be honest. But it's interesting nonetheless =)

I doubt some of the results of the DNA tests as well. I read an article in a vet magazine we get at the clinic and it had pictures and results. A couple I could see and the others were just silly. For example one was a Puli/Afghan Hound/Rough Collie/Glen of Immal Terrier. I just find that mix to be extreamly hard to believe. And the dog looked like a shepherd mix of sorts.

Either way, Moo is a handsome boy and lucky to have you as his mummy. Maybe you could talk to your co-worker again and see if you can get the truth out of them.

That sucks that he had to lie to you, but at the same time, Moo was meant to come to you or he would not be with you. It can be very frustrating when you are not sure what the breed of your dog is, and people constantly asking. Like does it reallllllly matter what he is, why do they have to ask...lol I get it all the time with Reilly, most people assume he is a Rottie mix, and are totally shocked when I tell them not according to the vet...lol I have gotten to where anymore if someone ask, I say you could not tell you and dont really care, he is our baby and that is what matters. But I do get where you are coming from though. Give that handsome man some loving from me and a high five from Reilly.

They looks very very similar, have you thought of messaging the girl and asking her straight up if they are? How long have you have him now, maybe she will finally give you some info about it.

P.S. Mufasa is a pretty darn cute, almost as cute as my mutts!
