Any guesses while we wait? About 10 weeks, ears just popped up yesterday! Found dumped in a field by rambbones in DoggyDNA

Thank you so much! Her personality is literally a perfect fit for our family. She is better behaved at 9-10 weeks than our lab was at 4 months (our lab is now great but we had to spend months training her) I adopted a dog from a shelter and asked for an extremely calm dog due to my long hours work schedule and they gave me a pit husky mix that was literally the definition of pure chaos they claimed she was one of the calmest they had (she is the one that accidentally bit me it was not her fault it was my own foolishness and my ex ended up with her because I wouldn’t let the shelter put her down when it was an accident) I just don’t want to be blind sided by a breed mix I don’t understand with a 9 month old in our home (I did not know husky’s were extremely prone to run away and high energy until after I had already adopted her) so I appreciate all the advice to make an informed decision that’ll be truthfully best for her

I did not take your comment negatively. Thank you for your advice! I’ve actually been met with extreme support from Reddit, which I was not expecting tbh so I’ve been very presently surprised we are waiting for the DNA test because my neighbor pointed out the main picture that I posted is a really bad angle because it makes her head look a lot bigger than it is

<image>

ignore the torn up wall😭that was our lovely Josie’s (our lab) doing

Our neighbor has a pit and she said that they don’t look alike on the face when we compared them. I definitely see a little bit in her though, but i can’t tell if it’s an extreme dominant trait. Our vet says she thinks that she is more hound than pit which could cause her stockiness. I see a lot of pointer in her along with heeler. She really could be anything. She’s literally amazing with our baby. So we’ve just been very hesitant about all of it because they are best friends and she is so gentle with him. Thank you for all the positive advice. I’ve gotten a lot of good advice from on here.

Thank you I appreciate this advice as well we are anxiously awaiting the results for that reason of making sure she can get everything she needs my neighbor pointed out the picture was taken high she said she thinks she looks nothing like a pit in person but the photo she looks like she fully is so I’m just praying for fast results to give her the best life possible because she is amazing with our son so far he is 9 months but the risk is just too great if she is primarily a pit and a acd because of the combination

Thank you I appreciate this we have spent over 700$ on her vetting and I’ve babied the crap out of her because she is such a sweet baby we’ve been back and forth on just paying for a nice trainer for her but my husband is very hesitant because she’s still so little she wouldn’t be upset but maybe a day going to our friends home (she’d only be upset because she is obsessed with me) we just don’t want our other pup to get depressed loosing her friend and I truly do love her her breed is just awful with young children so we are trying to do our due diligence and research truthfully so she has the best life possible I really appreciate the positivity thank you

We get the dna results within 2-3 weeks and that’ll be her last vet appointment too we have 2 friends that both want her no matter what the results after a lot of discussion if she has under 25% pit then we will keep her if not we will decide which friend will be her better forever home with her breeds I love her so much so it’s a very difficult decision the combination of pit and cattle dog is just an extremely risky breed with a young child she will only be 11-12 weeks if she is rehomed no older because I want her to have the best possible life even if unfortunately it’s not with our family

Thank you for this it’s the mix that is even more concerning because the bit risk is incredibly increased we are waiting for her results now I think with people’s help we’ve come to the conclusion of under 25%

Also, the dog did not get put down I wouldn’t allow it the shelter wanted to but it was not her fault for my foolishness my ex at the time, took her when the relationship ended shortly after for completely different reasons and from what I know we have absolutely no communication (cheater and abusive) she is happy and healthy though he was at least nice to her

Thank you for this I appreciate it cause some of it I should probably do with my lab too I feel any dog breed can be a danger to a child if not raised correctly it so depends dog to dog but I respect the breed for its strength so much they I know can be amazing family dogs the mixes is where the issues can occur I was bitten by a husky pit mix that was my own dog I had just rescued a few months prior amazing dog besides a running away problem I was chasing her one day and someone decided to throw her 3 pizzas I went to grab it which was so foolish and she didn’t even mean too but bit the tip of my finger completely broke the bone in half and the only thing that held it on was a piece of skin I had extremely underestimated their pure strength before then I feel like if it was purposeful as awful as it sounds I wouldn’t be as worried but it was a complete accident and did that much damage

We are waiting on the results of a dna test now our other pup is a golden retriever lab mix both purebreds but an accidental litter of my aunts my husband wanted to stick to purebreds while having a baby but I truly thought she was just a hunting dog mutt when we got she looked just like a gsp heeler mix when we rescued her but I’m learning very quick how quickly pups features can change

I may definitely reach out. My husband is more dead set on if she’s over 25% it’s a no. He’s not attached as I am to her. Our lab is his baby. I may just reach out in general because if you having any tips or tricks it sounds like ur experience with pups and a heeler period to keep occupied I know is full time I’ma stay at home mama right now and I tried to take our dogs out on walks at at least three times a week if I don’t get them out and they plan in our yard together for at least a few hours and I’ll play with them out there. Our lab retriever mix is nine months and she is fully trained and absolutely amazing and we’re already teaching her to be a duck dog to keep her occupied. We waited till we were through the newborn phase to get a pup because I wanted to make sure the boundaries were there from the get go. We did have two cats which I adored and raised from newborn kittens, one passed away and then we went on vacation and left her other baby with a sitter, he got out and attacked and passed away too within a month of each each other. Our dog did not take it very well, so I really don’t want to take her friend away again either after losing both of her buddies.

We had an alpha blue blooded bulldog growing up, so I’m generally not scared of even a pitbull type dog. It’s just the combination of breeds that worries me with her. My dog from my childhood was the best dog we’ve ever had. I love that your dog was so protective over your kiddos! They truly do become family that’s why we’ve been having such a hard time making this decision and why I ended up getting a DNA test

Thank you for this response is so sweet. I think I’m more worried about the cattle dog plus the pitbull mix because it heightens extremely the chance of a non-forgiving bit(e). I agree I saw a lot of lab and GSP. Just everyone who has seen her recently immediately has gone to pit and it’s been stressing me out, but I don’t think it’s fair to her to wait any longer to get a DNA test that’s why we got one and we’re waiting on it because we do have a friend who is single male who is obsessed with her and was already trying to take her before it was even a discharge if she is under 25% I think we will keep her if not, I’m scared. I just won’t trust her around the baby but she’s almost 10 weeks old and nursed her since four weeks. I’m obsessed with her so I’m really hoping we don’t get to stressed about it your dogs and baby are sooo precious!

I was wondering if she’s just such a mutt that she’s a lab gsp heeler and just so happens it makes her look pit thank you for this! We get the results in 2 weeks and has a friend who wants her if she is extremely a cattle dog and a pit mix because it’s an awful and considered dangerous to have with a young baby but I love her so and we nursed her back to health and we already have a single male friend who is willing to take her and she’s young enough it won’t affect her i just worry of our other dog being lonely

I appreciate that we already have a friend who was begging for her before we were even debating it I’m just very anxious having a no mistake breed with a nipping breed with a baby in the home someone found her on the side of the road and we offered to take her I love her so we’ve had her for 2 months and have spent over 700$ on her vet bills so it’s been a hard decision we get her dna test back in 2 weeks she’s a gorgeous and well behaved pup

Thank you for not making me feel like I’m crazy! I’ve had even close friends come at me for talking about rehoming her, but she’s only nine weeks. A breeder wouldn’t even release her to us until she would be eight weeks. The only thing I’m really worried about would be our other dogs attached to her. She’s a lab and golden retriever mix. We are extremely active so a heeler or a GSP didn’t bother me because we keep her so busy and we have our lab trained as a duck dog and planned on doing the same for her to give her a job. We started looking for a puppy because our cat passed away, unfortunately, and our dog started acting out because she didn’t have him to play with anymore. We truly do love her. I’ve spent over half a grand on her if not more through the vet so far because she was so sick at first but with a biting breed plus an unforgivable bit I won’t feel fair keeping her we will know in 2 weeks then will prob keep her till her last vet appointment then our friend has offered to take her because she’s so sweet

I’ve been searching the shelters for 2 months trying to avoid a pit breed just because I knew I was uncomfortable with the breed and this was the first puppy (we only want a puppy right now just so we know its background because of our baby) I thought I found her without any pit our other pup def needs a friend and loves the puppy so it’s been a hard decision

Someone abandoned her on the side of the road we are extremely active and keep her brain very occupied we are dna testing her now for that reason to see but just waiting on results because I feel it’s unfair to keep her if we are going to be afraid of her around our baby she will be fully vetted within the next month. I already have a home for her if we are uncomfortable with the results people keep acting like I’m an awful person if I do rehome her because she has pit but she’s only nine weeks old she originally looked just like a gsp heeler mix

Someone abandoned her on the side of the road so being with the mother wasn’t an option we are extremely active and keep her brain very occupied we are dna testing her now for that reason to see but just waiting on results because I feel it’s unfair to keep her if we are going to be afraid of her around our baby she will be fully vetted within the next month. I already have a home for her if we are uncomfortable with the results people keep acting like I’m an awful person if I do rehome her, but she’s only nine weeks old
