PICS OF "WE FOUND A DOG"
« on: May 29, 2005, 02:06:51 pm »
Well I now know that it is a she, and she is sooooo cute, no doubt that it will be no fun when her owner comes for her, well not true I really really hope we can find her parents, she is such a doll and Im sure she misses them as much as I am sure they miss her. But I can for sure see why she was a dirty girl when we picked her up, she loooooves dirt  ;D. We have a corner in the backyard where we have a small run, that we use when we babysit one of our friends dogs (they are not too fond of other dogs, so they can not be with my babies) Anyway, that is the dusty, sandy and when wet muddiest place in the yard, it goes under the name THE corner here lol..... Anyway, puppydoggy loves that place, she has already dug up stuff I had no idea we had in the backyard, every time I go out to check on her, she looks up with totally brown nose and then goes all crazy and jumps all over me, I did a test to see if she had any idea about sit, hehehehe either she is a good actor or she had absolutely no idea. The more I look at her, the more uncertain I am of what she actually is. The profile still looks like a flat to me, but she has too much coat, and in a way she looks a bit like a new. but I think too pointy nose, mind you I have never had any newfs myself so I am  no good there. Let me know what you all think she is, I know it is hard to see on a pic, and she was not exactly "co-oping" as soon as I put the cam to my eye, she was all in it. jumping and climbing on me, but I got a few that shows her.

Oh she is a sweetie! I know what you mean about wanting to find her home, but dreading it too. We got our two girls from the shelter, they were found as strays. I still have nightmares about walking with them somewhere and having some little kid come up to me shouting "Mommy, Mommy, I found our puppies!" and being so excited to see them. I don't know what I'd do! I wouldn't give them up for anything, but it would break my heart..... Ok, not exactly the same thing as your situation....b ut kinda....    Maybe I need a drink?!  (my son is staying at a friends tonight, so I may be the next one here posting my drunkin escapades!)

Send her to me!!!  She is so pretty!  I wonder what's going through her head right now?  If you can't find her parents we should all just share her and pass her from state to state ???  Okay, I know that's not possible...  I think I have puppy syndrome?

i would have kicked them out, and been living in a different state the next day!  i can't imagine falling in love with a doggie, and then having to give it back 3 years later!     ahhh

thank goodness they got to keep the pup!

Yes I really hope the owners are looking for her, it would be soooo sad if a wonderful puppy like this is not missed, but I have good hope, I do think someone is looking, and just cant wait to find her. And I guesstemated her age to around 5 to 7 months too, her teeth are all grown out and she looks like she could be anywhere up to about a year in the mouth, but looks more like a puppy in the body and face. I was thinking chow too, but something just doesnt "feel" like a chow if that makes any sense.... when you look at her legs and coat I got the feeling that there might be newf in her, but not sure. But it really doesnt matter, she is a sweetheart and whatever she is she is pretty and happy, very easy going and hehe more than a little needy, but like Natsaint said.... wonder what is going through her head. She is sooo funny though, she has totally adopted THE corner, she has about an acre to run on but she just loves THE corner. I thought that the backyard within the fence had already "gone to the dogs" but man..... she is doing a great job messing it up even more. I will give her a bath either tomorrow or the day after (if she is still here that is) I wish I could bring her in, but Galahad is not fully vaccinated yet so thats out of the question. But it is nice weather here, so it wont kill her to take an outdoor bath.

Keep your paws crossed girls and thanks sooo much for your support

Take a look at some of the pics in this gallery, she could be at least part flat-coated retriever. That's what I thought of as soon as I saw your pix. I had one named Max years ago, and if I remember right he had spots on his tongue. Labs can have those spots, too.  My Dane mix, Earnest, is blue merle, and the whole inside of his mouth, including his tongue, has merle spots!

Yes my first thought was flat too. As you can read in an earlier post I used to have one too, and especially in profile she looks very much like one. But quite a few things do not look like a flat, the very full legs and the coat in general, and she has no plume at all on the tail, so I am pretty sure there is something else in her too. My thoughts have been going towards newf. but I dont know. Also thought Chow but I dont think so.

I had a phone call on her today, but the ones who called looked for a small, shorthaired dog with short tail. So no luck. I didnt mention the gender or the little bit of white marking she has under her neck, or long or shorthaired or the age I think she is. I have heard stories about people wanting to get friendly, hopefully purebred dogs, and call and pretend to be the owner.

She looks like a chow/lab X to me.   ???

She is most definitely a chow/lab mix - that is the "un"official state dog her in Louisiana - or at least South Louisiana. Our shelters are full of dogs that look just like this.

Everyone has labs down here because it's "sportsman's paradise" and countless people have chow chows, although I'm baffled by this because the weather is so hot and their coat is so thick - why would anyone subject such a hairy dog to this heat??? 

Anyway, the chow chow is one of my least favorite breeds (sorry chow lovers) because of their super-protective nature. I have been chased, bitten and threatened by too many pure bred chows.

However, I find the chow/lab mix is one of the most good-natured dogs. They have the friendliness and playfulness of the lab and the loyalty of the chow perfectly combined. Unfortunately, they are least likely to be adopted out of our shelters - especially if they are black. This girl is lucky to have wandered into your life because I know if her owners don't come looking for her you are dedicated to finding her a great home!
