smalltownVA Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Holy crap, that is a cute puppy!Thanks. She is the definition of a mutt but she is pretty awesome. The mom is a beagle/bassett hound/some sort of pitbull mix (that is where the short legs come from) and the dad is a Shar Pei (she has his curly tail). The only one that came out of the litter with predominantly Shar Pei features was the one male. This is a picture of the male and our puppy about a week after we got her when we took her back to visit.

Mom is some type of dachshund mix, but looks more like a beagle/shepherd mix with a dachshund face. And dad is nowhere to be found (typical man... lol). However, the puppies look like some combination of shepherd/dachsund/terrier mix. Maybe even pug or boxer... crazy. Apparently she only gained a pound in the last week, but her paws are a little large... we will have to wait and see what she turns into!

She is getting larger but her height is the same. Even the vet basically said that it would be crap shoot as far as size is concerned. We took her at 7 weeks (we had her a week at that point) and she was 6.5 lbs. I took her back three weeks later for some more puppy shots and she was almost 12 lbs. I have to take her back next Friday so I will be interested to see how much weight she has gained since her last check up.

I took her back three weeks later for some more puppy shots and she was almost 12 lbs. I have to take her back next Friday so I will be interested to see how much weight she has gained since her last check up. Interesting! Apparently our puppy was 5 lbs when they rescued her at 7-8 weeks old. Now a week later, she has only gained a pound. So I'm hoping she stays in the 20-30 lb range. I did some research and apparently you can kind of guesstimate weight if you know if the dog is a small, medium or large breed... Small: Take the weight of small or toy mixed-breed puppies and double their weight at 6 weeks. Take the total and double again. This is about what the puppy will weigh as an adult. For example, if your puppy weighs 2 pounds at six weeks, double it to get 4 pounds and then double again to get 8 pounds. Medium: Take the weight of your medium to large mixed-breed puppy at 14 weeks and multiple it by 2. Halve the weight of your puppy at 14 weeks and add it to the total of the weight at 14 weeks multiplied by 2. For example, if your puppy weighs 20 pounds at 14 weeks multiple 20 by 2 to get 40 pounds. Add 10 pounds (1/2 of 20) to the 40 pounds. Your puppy's adult weight will be about 50 pounds. Large: Take the weight of your giant mixed-breed puppy at 6 months and double it. For example: if your puppy weighs 60 pounds at 6 months his adult weight will be about 120 pounds. I know with large breed dogs, they tend to double their weight each week, so as long as the dog is growing a few pounds each week, it probably wont blow up to some massive sized dog.

Renzie Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sadness and woe! I took my new puppy in for her second check-up and first round of shots and got some expensive news. :( Her eyelids roll inward and as a result hair is irritating her eyes. It'll require surgery. The only good part is that as long as it doesn't cause infection in the meantime the surgery can wait until she gets spayed to kill two birds with one stone. Also, seeking advice on rear dewclaws. Info online is mixed. I despise removing random bits for no reason, but some people say the dewclaws are an injury risk so I'm unsure. I've seen firsthand that they are functional on front paws but I've never had a dog have them on the rear before this so any input on that is appreciated. :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4937-lst-animal-lovers/?page=6#findComment-93207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
idyllsend Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I saw this on FB today and it made me cry. The picture alone should just melt anyone with a soul. Yes, I am a complete sucker for the animals - I am owned by my cats.https://www.facebook.com/southernoregonhumane/photos/a.119308142503.100524.113353777503/10151949017917504/?type=1&theater Love it! Any animal I get in the future will definitely be a rescue.

HaydenRose Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 We finally found our furever dog! Meet Ella :) She is 3 months, very small. She is definitely a boston terrier mix, just not sure what the mix is. Already head over heels for this puppy bundle.

Pugilist Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yes! A couple of weeks ago I was walking her and two women walked by us. I heard one exclaim to the other as they passed, "I thought that dog was wearing a hat, but it's just her ears!" This DELIGHTED me.

Breakme Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 My boys having a weekend snuggle with me. Martin is the tabby and white, and Tuxy is the tuxedo cat. We adopted them from the shelter when they were 13 weeks old, think they are 4 now. They are brothers from the same litter and are best buds.

Mark Bee Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I've never figured out how cats seem to magically become pieces of lead when one tries to move a contented cat from a lap.
