Help with figuring out brandi's breed
We just adopted another dog and are having trouble figuring out the breed mix. We think its obvious it's a lab mix. We just don't know what the mix is. We're aware it could be more than one other breed being that we never really figured out what our golden was mixed with. I just get really curious in the beginning and try to figure it out so I know what to expect being that she doesn't have much of a personality right now since all she does is sleep, eat, and poop :)...i'm sure this will change quickly and i'll see her true colors. However, if anyone can give some imput on the breed Brandi could possible be mixed with, that'd be great! I have posted a few pictures and also a cute video that shows what she really looks like right now. We have been thinking, chow (she has spots on her tongue), pointer, or vizsla.
New puppies are so much work, we are all sooooo tired! But boy does it pay off! I am so excited to watch her grow and change. I am also a little nervous about how well her and marley will get along. we have to keep them separated for a while because brandi has parasites...but the connection they seem to have so far looks promising. a golden mix and a lab mix - i hope they make the best of sisters!! marley has learned to ignore her crying and wimpering and barking so i think that means she is slowly accepting her as part of the family. we will see when they finally get to play together, off the leash! :)
Thanks! :)

Puppies have a "puppy license' until they are around six months. An older dog will tolerate much from a pup under that age, doing a little growl and nip to teach the pup manners. After the puppy license expires, the older dog will tolerate less of the behavior from a younger dog, and begin to teach it what it should know, including where it belongs in the pack. The older dog usually establishes dominance with a nip here and there.
Someone on this site mentioned something about a new test that you can order that will tell you the mix of your mixed breed. You might try asking in one of the forums or doing a search. I can't remember how much it is, but it seemed reasonable.

I know what you mean about the puppy thing. My dog Jake his girlfriend had puppies.We had to bottlefeed them because Sassy (his girlfriend) got sick. We had to feed them every three hours.I sware it was like having a baby child.Good thing we got to keep a puppy (Lexi).
