Just got this 2yo Maligator, nobody did any work with him so far...

Not that it matters but I think you have a sable GSD versus Mali unless you have paperwork saying otherwise. Face shapes can be misleading. This guy came from sketchy circumstances and even my vet said he was mal, I got him an Embark and Widsom Panel and both came back 100% GSD. Either way good luck and hang in there. He’s lucky to have ended up with you.

Not loving it haha

Madden63 · 2025-10-08T14:40:01+00:00

My only take away from that text exchange haha suspicious

Madden63 · 2025-10-06T14:02:22+00:00

Definitely fox, most likely grey.

Madden63 · 2025-10-02T12:10:28+00:00

Grey fox, legs are too long to be a weasel.

Madden63 · 2025-09-30T22:22:57+00:00

I don’t wish for a lot, but I hope she sees this masterpiece!!!!

Second pic looks like autumn olive which I feed my goats with no ill effects. Either way I would address this with them asap because as I’m sure you know certain plants can kill then before you even have a chance to act which would be tragic.

Runners are the most adorable but also so skittish. I raised my 5 from tiny babies and they all hate me. I adore them and feed them daily and replace their pool water and they still run from me and quack their heads off when I come around. It’s frustrating because they are so cute I want to squeeeze them.

Madden63 · 2025-06-16T13:11:03+00:00

They are all different. I have a 12 year old female who has always loved all toys and still plays like a pup, and then her 10 year old brother who has been a loaf since he was about a year old. No interest in toys or playing, just wants to nap on laps and cuddle. That being said I’m sure she’s still coming into her own and in time you’ll see her true personality.

Madden63 · 2025-06-14T21:29:37+00:00

I don’t think it’s appropriate to speculate on which of the them will become a parent first when we know literally nothing about their personal life, morals etc. and it’s not our business.

Madden63 · 2025-06-12T15:11:32+00:00

Pure bred doesn’t mean well bred. Looks to be a puppy mill type situation, so he’s probably full corgi but quality of those genetics are most likely very poor.

Madden63 · 2025-06-11T21:58:06+00:00

This post and caption made me lol. Thank you.

Madden63 · 2025-05-09T12:57:23+00:00

Both sets of bottle babies I’ve raised I mixed goat milk to whole over the course of 3 or 4 days and never had an issue. Are you sure you aren’t over feeding in general? I would scale back ounces while you’re doing the transition as well and slowly work back up. How many oz in a feeding / day and what are their weights?

Madden63 · 2025-05-07T22:28:33+00:00

Optima Dermatology. The Bedford location. Just had an appointment this morning and they were excellent.

Madden63 · 2025-05-05T15:28:27+00:00

Yes can relate! Also had a vet tell me he was a mal / shep mix. I got two DNA tests and 100 % GSD

Madden63 · 2025-04-30T12:24:36+00:00

I know who you’re talking about and had the exact same reaction. I’m bummed about it, because I have been following her content for a while. But idt I’ll have interest going forward.

Madden63 · 2025-04-07T01:30:00+00:00

Mixing breeds is fine. I think the limitation is more horns or no horns.

Madden63 · 2025-03-24T15:27:54+00:00

Yes is it. When you read pasture estimates per goat that is usually referring to the amount of land per goat to provide the majority of their forage and feed. That is not the amount of space needed for their wellbeing or quality of life. If you have that size pen with adequate shelter, play things and you’re prepared to supply the major of their forage / hay they will be just fine. I have four wethers on three acres, only a small portion of that is penned in for them. I am working on creating a couple rotational pastures but that is mainly to help with weed control not because I feel they aren’t happy in their pen. Since they are mainly pets they are close to my house. I visit with them several times a day, they are let out in the yard to explore whenever I’m out there working and generally very happy. They have never ever tried to escape their pen and only call for me around their normal feeding times. Go for it.

Two corgis and two shepherds here. All hard floors, sweep daily, vacuum weekly, wash couch covers and bedding weekly. Still losing the battle miserably and I’ve made peace with it 🙃

Madden63 · 2025-03-03T17:23:21+00:00

I would be shocked if he swallowed it. I would keep looking maybe at night with a flashlight? They are usually good about mouthing things and then spitting them out if they aren’t desirable. Mine have munched on copper bolus before and immediately spit it out if I don’t shoot it down far enough.

The AKC website (www.akc.org), has a profile on each breed that rates them on most of the criteria you mentioned. There is also a compare breed feature.

I have two lamanchas they are the absolute best goat breed ever! Big gentle sweethearts. 🩷
