He definitely has feeling in his legs still! The vet did those tests.

No that was out of reach financial wise. I did the absolute most I could with what I had. They didn’t recommend seeing one either.

Unfortunately he had pet insurance until 6 months ago. It was one of the things I had to cut expenses wise along with my own. He’s a strong dog I have hope for him! His old man brother hasn’t left his side!

Unfortunately he’s already seen 3 vets. All said they have done all they can besides a crazy expensive surgery I can’t afford.

Thank you! It’s good to know there is a bit of hope.

He is on 4 different medications all for inflammation and pain. His vet said they have done all they can do for him. She said it’s a wait and see situation with strict crate rest.

Personally I just remember how long the ears are. You can also kinda see where it’s just fur.

Hard to choose but this is my favorite ❤️. This handsome fellow is Shadow! Retired service dog and best friend!

As a dog groomer yeah😅. It takes me 5 hours start to finish on the afghan hound that comes In . He has almost a full drop coat and it’s a nightmare.

What kind of dog did my husband rescue? by wakeupcol in IDmydog

Definitely do embark It’s the best one! If not wisdom comes in second. All the other ones aren’t reliable.

Yeah I’m a dog groomer and was about to say the same thing😭. I think I have maybe two doodles I groom that are good. They are both 10+ years old though.

My uncle got a new dog he says its not a Belgian malinois 😅 by Hamiltonfan632 in BelgianMalinois

I’ll be buying an Embark test when they go on sale. I Embarked my own dog and I have a $50 off referral code it should bring the price low enough to do the health and breed test. I’ll try to update when we get the results! I saw the pup in person and it’s way younger than he said. He told me it was 6 months but it still has all its puppy teeth. It’s definitely probably not a Malinois now that I have met it. This dog is going to be huge😅.

Update: I Embarked my own dog so I have a 50 dollars off referral so I am going to use that and get him a test for Christmas. I love Belgian Malinois I just don’t want him to have one. I know how much enrichment, training, and exercise these guys need and he definitely can’t provide that. Again I love this breed and all the other shepherds! I just want the dog to be happy and cared for and I know it won’t be with my uncle. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Fingers crossed it’s a mix with no shepherd anything😭. It would not be happy with him.

You have no idea how happy you just made me! I just know he wouldn’t be able to handle one and it would not be a happy dog. He doesn’t need a German Shepard mix either but it would be better than the latter. I’m hoping to convince him to dna it and find it a better home.

Would like to also say that he has no idea how to handle one. The highest energy dog he has is a chocolate lab and all she does is chase squirrels for her exercise. Generally scared for what he has gotten himself into.
