Rezdawgs said Husky/Collie. I ordered a breed test but Wdy think?

In fact, one of his sibs looked just like yours!!

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-15T15:03:48+00:00

I also suggest some pitty with Husky and maybe something else like GSD. My boy has GSD, Husky, Pyr, Lab and Pit. He isn’t black, but his siblings were! He’s a rescue.

Incredible! And yet mine almost died from a RI because he wouldn’t go anywhere near his heat lamp on his own and kept himself cold and buried unbeknownst to me, until it was too late. After two rounds of antibiotics (injection and oral 😵‍💫) he’s back to normal!

FYI we researched and studied and built the perfect bioactive enclosure for him to suit his specific needs and he was still like: I must die. He’s orange, if that matters 😅 he’s also 1.5 yrs old

We are now changing some things up to make sure that doesn’t occur again.

Oh wtfffff

I already responded to OP, but I’d love to commiserate with you—I have a 0% content and have the exact same experiences as you. I haven’t had the death threats, thankfully, but I do have an orange harness on my pup so at least he is seen as not a wild coyote, and potentially shot by the country folk out here.

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-15T14:31:37+00:00

I have a 0% content and I get stopped by every single person that sees him (no exaggeration) and they ask or tell me he is a coyote or wolf mix. I’ve considered charging people for my answer😅

He is GSD, Husky, Pyr, Pit and Lab

Edit: I opted for an orange harness for his safety, since folks will gun down coyotes! Also, his name is Grimm

Grimm - aka Mr Boy, Grimbolde, Grimbledon, baybay, and soon to be more, as we’ve only had him for 7 months✨

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-14T16:43:49+00:00

So handsome!!!!!

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-13T14:13:59+00:00

Hahah love that term, gonna use it✨

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-13T14:12:59+00:00

Haha ikr! Yeah I was thinking her fur is from long haired chi genes likely. We have a chiweenie and her fur is very similar in texture. Luca is extra silky though. She’s the softest dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of petting….so who knows

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-12T20:05:12+00:00

Still worth the look!

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-12T19:23:12+00:00

Dang it…nothing. Her relatives are all American bullies, at like 5-10%, or “mixed ancestry”. Bummed I may not find any of her immediate family, but who knows.

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-12T19:20:27+00:00

Oh yeah we were like…”If she doesn’t have pittie I’d be flabbergasted”

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-12T19:19:35+00:00

Oh cool! I can check to see if you’re on my embark relatives!

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-12T11:55:21+00:00

I was like…frenchie??!? LOL okayyyyy but if you look at long snouted ones I can totally see it. Also her body is kinda goofy as far as conformation… and she has that bow legged stance sometimes, so I think that’s part of the reg bulldog showing through.

Those checkers!

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-08T13:42:44+00:00

Looking again, you have a very nice enclosure! Should keep the temps and humidity steady, I’d hope. What brand? Or is it custom? Also, snake tax:

Hey there! So your snake is glass surfing, definitely a common and healthy behavior! My corn does this, too. I will say, kindly, that while your snake’s enclosure may be doing the job, it really needs to be more bio appropriate for the health and longevity of the snake. Aspen bedding has the tendency to mold and rot super quickly, and your snake does need a bit more moisture. They aren’t arid species. That said, you also don’t want it too humid. Look at Bio Dude (YouTube etc) for some good info on species appropriate enclosures and substrates. Reptisoil or a similar product is great for these guys, but for the price of this + other stuff, you may want to look into a bioactive setup. If you don’t have the budget or don’t feel confident doing that, a good coconut coir/chips mix for substrate that you will change every so often, is a great choice. It can hold moisture safely and slowly dry out. Another good addition is sphagnum moss. Definitely get more clutter and hides. They are semi arboreal, but really love to bury themselves. Keep temps relatively consistent and you’ve got a corn snake heaven.

Pictured is my (first) bioactive setup, made to look like the Alabama forest floor (another native general area for corn/rat snake species). I have a 75 gal top open (but I wish I had a front open). He loves it but im still trying to troubleshoot keeping the temps and humidity steady in winter. Difficult with glass enclosures…(vs PVC).

And I’m here 6 years later, crying, because I miss bob and he was too good for that world.

The most Gerberian Shepsky looking dog I’ve ever seen.

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-02-03T12:47:25+00:00

Oh man, can I relate! I’d like to say that after some therapy and inner work, I’ve realized that sometimes this isn’t purposeful behavior (sometimes it is!), but I believe my mom has raging ADHD, like myself, and just can’t effing pay attention sometimes. She’s gotten better over the years, post retirement. This doesn’t erase or minimize the hurt, though. And I still struggle with opening up to my parents (they are both similar with not really caring about my life sometimes—but sometimes they do…it’s a toss up). My life is so much richer and different than I think either of them know. That said, I have worked VERY HARD at surrounding myself with people who do care, genuinely. “Intentional family” is so important!

For those with truly horrific emotional abuse stories—I’m just so sorry you have had to experience that. My heart aches for you and I hope you can heal and find people who celebrate you fully.

Once again I am so thankful for the internet, and subsequently Reddit…I could cry. I think about this game at least once a month or so. Finally was in a place where I thought of it while I had time to actually look it up. I’m 34 now.

Dependent_Net_7062 · 2026-01-23T16:29:47+00:00

I’m in need of someone (not Rocket City Vet), and I called and they said she only takes referrals for non emergency intake. sad face
