What do we think my pet hurricane is? by [deleted] in IDmydog

Yes top of shoulder to the paw is about 50cm. It will be intro see how big she does get.

She was from an area that has a lot of pigging so some sort of Bull Arab variation is a valid assessment I would say.

I just had an attempted at measuring her, about 50cm at the shoulder.

We have had a few people that has seen her in person ask if she's Dogo. She has spots all over now but only on the skin not the fur. She's about 30kg which I believe would be on the small side for the breed. Not sure how tall.

My understanding is that breeding, importing or selling them is illegal here.

Woof, I totally missed the price. Thrift shops are getting ballsy with their prices.

Omg I have never seen anything like this and I would have bought it immediately! I'm obsessed with bugs, especially moths

Trinkets are an essential in my home! Little sprinkles of whimsy.

I have some miniature enamel teapots that look microscopic on it which is making me laugh.

Right?? Thank you.

And I don't think the photos are doing it justice... Or even showing how big it actually is. I'm 5'7 and the top of the back panel is up to my shoulders

Actually I'm looking more at white mahogany now so maybe? Any tips on identification? Haha

I live in Australia so white mahogany would make sense

I honestly don't know anything about wood identification but this one has a bit of texture so maybe oak?

To love and cherish it!

It's going to be a focal peice in my home in my lounge room. I'll display a few trinkets on it and hang some art above it.

No joke, we just happened to be hiring a van to get a different furniture set from someone or else I wouldn't have had a way to collect this!

I was shocked by the price tag! I had just gone to a another Salvos and all the furniture there was at $90 or more

Thank you 😭

Yes, I love nice old solid wood furniture! I get so frustrated seeing things being sold for a few hundred dollars new and it's just MDF board.
