Here's 2 pups, any ideas on the breed(s) they may have in them?

I found these poor creatures out in the middle of nowhere on feb 8th. I'm deworming them and ordering shots. I'd be willing to allow them to be adopted into a kind loving home :D
info on the page.

FUD, the black one is probably part Rottweiller or Doberman. The yellow guy is probably part lab and judging from the size of his jaw, maybe part Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). Cute little guys!
I'm a former dog owner. They are awesome creatures. No time or patience anymore for another.

I couldn't start to guess a breed on the black one. I'll agree with Robert that it might be a doberman or rottweiler based on facial features, but I can't see enough of the body to guess. I would agree the yellow one definitely looks like a lab. They are both very cute.
I agree with lab and rotwieller based on the looks. But they were together and probably siblings, so my guess is just plain ole mutt. Plain ole mut is my favorite, after I am just a mutt.
I also have a stray that I dewormed, got shots, de-flead and etc. My hat is off to you for having the heart to rescue this fine pair. If I did not have my Toby boy, I would take them off of your hands.
I hope that you find a good home for them. Good idea to show them on this forum--hope it pays off.
Is the black one a female? They look like rotweiler lab puppies to me. The only reason I as about the sex is that rotweiler females tend to have smaller heads.
the black one definitely has a lot of rotty in him/her, and the yellow one has about equal mix lab and pitbull in him/her. Probably some other breeds in the one that has rotty, but the second may just be lab and pitbull.
They're both female. Also, something interesting here I'm not sure what to make of it. They were both the exact same size when I picked them up but the black one has gotten longer than the other while the redbone has gotten somewhat stockier than the otherQuote:

Also, what's the risk to children. Aren't Rotweiller's a risk around children, and wouldn't this bleed into the personalities of the mixed pups?
Tough question...because there are so many variables. It depends on the character/nature of the dog, How well the owners train them...and if the children are taught what to do...and what NOT to do.
Rotty's have a very strong independent nature...and can require extra attention while their growing..and you must be consistent in their training.
Rotty's are also very protective of their families, including the kids. I knew a family with a Rotty..male, weighed about 80# or so...the kids were riding him in the back yard like a pony, and he was lovin every mi. of it.
The big question these days is home owner's insurance. In our state..they won't insure you...might want to check into that too. (and some will deny you even if they're mixed)
Ohh I usually hang out on another thread...but saw the Dog topic..I'm a big animal person...used to work at a Veterinary Clinic.

hmm, I've only experience with golden retrievers, not the short hair labs, and don't have ANY experience with rottweilers or Staffordshire Terriers. are any of these 3 breeds a "yappy" type dog? the light one tends to yap herself to sleep when I cage them and they both bark incessantly at each other when unable to wrestle a toy away from the other.
Most of your smaller breeds are stereotyped as "yappy"...larger breeds are not so noisy...except when they're little. They're all like two year olds. Hey Good luck with your pups.
I think I overlooked about the lab mix. Labs are great. Personally, I think you've got a great mix in those two breeds.
Colleen
Heh.
Last night I couln't take the yapping anymore. I remixed the sound of a cessna 152 engine on idle to get an hour's worth of audio and burned the CD and put it on repeat. They slept til 5 and barked to be taken out, then went back to sleep til 9:00 a.m.
I coulda done without being woke up at 5 on a weekend but thank God they don't like to dump in their bed.
lol...lol... now thats funny. A cessna...as in a plane...lol
that is so perfect, the sound reminds them of their Mom..and her rumbling belly. I didn't see the photos of the pups..How old are they ?
Sounds like you have them Kenneled...first step to a well-trained dog. Most animals will refrain from soiling their area if they are in a confined space. But keep in mind...pups are unable to control (with any consistency) their bowel or bladder until 4 mo. of age.
I just love the remixed cessna...you have a marketing gold mine there!! Audio tapes to put those yappy pups to sleep, you'll sell a million!
Colleen
I posted a couple recent pictures. It's almost a month since I found them. don't know if you can tell how much they've grown or not.

Hey Fud,
They kinda starting to look like pitbull and beagle to me.

If I'm wrong please let me know. You have me curious now.
Pit bull = Staffordshire terrier

LOL...O.K. I just looked down..found the link for the photos.
FUD You've got two good lookin pups there. Two different "Dads" is my guess.
Keaton..I have to agree with you. One looks like a pitt aka Staffordshire Terrier, the other...lol...has markings like a rotty, a body like hound and the ears of a Beagle..to cute!
Colleen
I have no clue what breeds they might be, but they are AS CUTE AS HELL!
Honestly, how could you not love those faces? I imagine they're providing you with tons of entertainment at that age. :rolleyes:

Because I don't want to walk around smelling like red-pepper I have to keep my shoes at elevations higher than 4 feet as they have become adept at jumping and pulling things off the edge of the table or other similarly situated shelving. They totally ignore the chew toys I got for them and chew everything they're NOT supposed to :p.
I get about 6 1/2 hours sleep a night and that's only because they fall asleep to the sleeping tape I made (initialy it was almost 8 hours but it's leveled at 6.5)
I've got bags under my eyes even worse than the allergies give and my children don't understand why I'm not more loving towards these cute little creatures.
The only comfort I got is that they learned really fast not to mess in the house after I started penning them in the cage.
I have to go for surgery next week and I'll be in rehab several months with little to no use of my arms so the children will get a taste of what I do every day with these "cutsies" ;)
The Breed is without doubt "Mediterranian Ukaterian Terrier" = MUT :D
as for pit Bull, I wouldn't know ,its "illegal" for anyone to own one in south Florida due to all the attacks on people, but they do look like good fun pups!
They just passed a similar law in Ontario despite SPCA assertions that the 'Dangerous Dog' legislation would cover how the animals are treated in many respects better than simply banning one breed. If the will is there to ceate vicious dogs for protection or for fighting, then a breed will be found.Quote:

That floppy-eared dog is not rottie or dobie, she's predominantly Black and Tan Coonhound! See the following:

Enjoy them.

I'm assuming they're both related as I found them both at the same time, abandoned in the middle of nowhere, though it's possible they were just from 2 separate bitches that were born around the same time.
The coon hound would explain some of their behavior. That was a good pic though. Save the white chest it looks like an older version of emily.

Oh, and welcome to the SRP forum. Though you found the dogs while browsing, I do hope you browse the forum and perhaps become interested in shaving with a straight razor. It's a wonderful experience and I'd have to say that everyone on here has been absolutely wonderful people. Feel free to email me if you'd like. I'm happy to blabber on about how I found straight razors and this site. Lynn, the forum founder has been doing this for decades ;). This is a great bunch of folks.Quote:

I'm just trying to come up to speed here before I jump in with both feet.
Dogs, on the other hand...
I've had two rotties; absolutely wonderful dogs. They are as kind as they are treated. My first, Caesar, was the gentlest dog I've ever encountered.
Again, all the best with your pups. Hopefully they become a treasured part of your family.

Someone was telling me that golden retrievers and other "bird dogs" have "webbed feet" to aid in their swimming.
I checked my golden retriever and saw that the digits are indeed "webbed" or connected all the way up to the pad with a layer of skin.
Then I checked these two pups and both have this.
On a whim I checked my manx cat (which has 6 digits on each foot) and it was the same.
So, is the "webbed feet" thing a wives tale or is there something to this that helps me determine the exact heritage of these mutts?
Thanks.
The labrador retriever also has webbed paws. They could be part lab.
Another Update:

I'm still trying to find a home for these beautiful animals. If I had a home with some land I'd put up a wireless fence and let them roam but I've already got 2 dogs and a cat and a standard city lot to work with. As it is I'm not getting the dogs out on a daily walk. While the children love them they're leaving the care to dad and mom.
I don't want to take them to angels for animals because I have heard they do have them put down if they can't find a home for them in so many months. I'm particular though where they'll go. I want to be sure they'll go to a family that can at least provide them with food, shelter, a place to roam, and love.
I sure hope I can find a good home for them.
Hi FUD,
I know its awful hard to get rid of young animals, you can't help becoming attached and I can tell that you're concerned about what to do with these two cuties!
Take at least two or three good pictures of each young dog. One playing, one sleeping (gets em every time) and one sitting...etc.

Take at least two or three good pictures of each young dog. One playing, one sleeping (gets em every time)
Paste onto a poster board about 10 x 12 and underneath write their sex, aprrox. age...state that the young dogs are looking for a special family who will love them....and anything else you can think of to say that will pull on a few heart strings. Include your contact info.
Take one to every Veterinary Clinic in your town and surrounding area. Lots of animals are adopted off of the information board at the clinic...every clinic has one.
Hope that helps, Colleen
And please overlook the one and a half post :shrug: :thinking:
