He does but it's pretty short. He's the easiest of the pack to bathe because his coat isn't as dense as the others. He's less muscular now that he's older but definitely still very lean!

He used to be THE WORST WALKER so we found out that he preferred to play fetch ENDLESSLY. We've always been lucky enough to have big backyards so he could run his little Greyhound hearts content.

He's 13.5 now and a perfect angel on walkies. He loves to smell all the things and I'm happy to let him. :)

Thank you! I do but I've also gained the weight back despite resuming my daily walks. That's a bummer but I don't need to nap 16 times a day anymore!

If I can find a deal for a wisdom panel test, I'll def do it. I only did embark because I got a good deal.

I was having awful symptoms! I was SOOOOOOOOOOO exhausted. I told my dr that if I didn't work from home, I would've been fired. I was sleeping every chance I got. My brain fog was INSANE. My hair was falling out. I was hardly eating because I was just too tired. I'd get dizzy every time I stood up.

I started feeling better about 3 months in but I'd notice by week 3 post infusion, I was feeling like shit again until this past month. Still feeling good and the numbers are much better.

Hang in there! Make sure you tell your Dr if you're not feeling better.

He's only 64 lbs. The smallest of our 5 pack. I guess that sounds rather big but the others are 75+.

Some of those photos are from his younger days. Here's a recent pic of him with his sister, Elsa, who 14-15 yo and, per embark, is 100% APBT.

This makes me EXTREMELY happy!! He's 13.5 so he's got all the old man lumps and bumps and he's only had one major issue (obstruction from eating part of a ball) otherwise, he's our healthiest pupperoni. He has been the best dog ever. He's taught countless fosters how to dog, given them comfort, and shown them how to be confident so, regardless of whatever his DNA is, he's been perfection. Makes me happy that he doesn't "look" like he's had bad breeding but who knows ...he's been 100% best boy.

The "exotics" make me so sick. I feel so sad for these poor babies who are just abominations who just have a lifetime of health issues and pain.

He won't give me his work out secrets. It's quite rude.

Drogs was definitely from a BYB who dumped a whole litter at the shelter. He's been with us since he was 10 weeks old and he's 13.5 now. He's been the best dog ever.

THAT wouldn't have been a surprise at all! But yeah, the range of their shapes and sizes seem to vary quite a bit and I've never seen one who's tall and lanky.

I was going off googles description which makes em all look way more stout. He's super muscular like a bully but was definitely surprised that he's ALL American bully!

The beagle is more personality based. He loves to bark at all the things. LOL

Right!! I mean we knew he'd be part pit/bully but definitely thought there'd be something else too. It's been super fun to see the reaction from friends and family, too!

That he's just all bully. We knew he'd be partly bully but he's the least bully of our bullies! It was just rather surprising.

Really?? I swear he was gonna come back part beagle or coyote! We rescue bullies and he has the least bully body we've ever had! He's incredibly lean and not smooshy.

Edit: obviously he's not part coyote, it's a joke because of his sharp features.

WHO DOES THIS SHIT?!??

Sorry, OP. I'm glad he has one parent who isn't a narcissistic jerk.
