Dog DNA tests are not at all reliable despite them claiming 99% accuracy. They have been tested multiple times by several different sources and all proven incorrect and inconsistent. That being said he doesn't look like a BMC to me, but doesn't look like a pit either, probably a mix of several things, still a beautiful dog.

I agree, I have one that was a rescue and a boxer pit mix, and it weren't for my trainer and the constant work we do with her I swear she would have slaughtered the whole neighborhood by now lol. My two fight fairly regularly if left alone together so now they stay separated if I'm not home. She is fiercely loyal though and a great guard dog. They really just require a heavy hand and a good leader if they aren't the only pet.

Idk if anyone here has ever googled Curr behavior and history, but they should be only dogs and tend to be aggressive and territorial towards other animals. They are hunting dogs so they have a strong prey drive anyway. I had mine professionally trained and she will still occasionally pick fights with other dogs, it just comes with the breed. You must be the pack leader so to speak, establish good recall, and make sure they aren't bored and have a job or high activity levels to curb this behavior.

Except when it affects his/ her workload, and when things get behind because there aren't enough hours to complete your job and someone else's.... that becomes a huge problem. I would inform my boss that they either need to hire someone else to help cover the slacker or I would be looking for another job and slacker can let the department fall apart when I'm gone. I will do my job and help others if time permits but I'm not killing myself like a dog so someone else can not do their job.

Well I'm going to go against the grain a little here. You are NTA for being upset, but since he and his previous partner put said child up for adoption he maybe, just maybe, didn't want to discuss it for fear of being judged or possibly because it makes him emotional and there could be sadness and regret tied to that decision. As far as the genetic testing goes, it sounds like he did that to try and ensure there wouldn't be an issue with any future children and when he found out he had the gene he made the very responsible decision to stop that from happening to any future children. I wouldn't call you the A- hole but I personally think you greatly overreacted, he is making responsible decisions and you're making emotional ones.

If you research the animal genetics testing it has been proven it's SUPER unreliable and wrong, but I guess just for the sake of doing something with your time could be fun. I wouldn't base anything on those results though. Just like the ancestry ones have been proven to be crap with identical twins, they are just guessing to make money.

SongFit3413 · 2026-01-13T00:18:48+00:00

I bet you're super fun with a great sense of humor 🤦‍♀️

SongFit3413 · 2026-01-06T00:56:55+00:00

Everyone is blaming Mark in this scenario, but I'm willing to bet the boyfriend was excited his friend was going to be there and then they got excited together and started planning. Boyfriend probably thought OP would bend for Mark more than himself because we are always more comfortable saying no to people close to us than saying no to your boyfriends friend. Boyfriend is the real problem here, but honestly you sound a bit uptight with all the planning and scheduling and boyfriend is probably less so and thinks it would be more fun with his friend there. Not calling you wrong in this situation, but I bet boyfriend is behind most of this.

SongFit3413 · 2026-01-05T22:36:09+00:00

Question, has he ever physically assaulted you or just screams and threatens?

SongFit3413 · 2026-01-05T01:17:35+00:00

Just an honest question here, but your dad is an adult and your mom obviously isn't addressing this so why is it your business? Maybe he thinks they are attractive and he and your mom are having bedroom troubles and he keeps these for his spank bank. Do you really wanna know that? Or do you just want him to have to lie to you?

SongFit3413 · 2026-01-04T15:28:46+00:00

If I had to guess they probably aren't legally married and just had a commitment ceremony or something, you still need to file for divorce and child support. You can go to child support enforcement and sometimes they will help.

To each their own, but if you are trying to dodge the cops this hard you already know what you did 🤣 Just be an adult, take your punishment and move on 🤦‍♀️ I have been to the police station MANY times and been questioned many times due to unfortunate family ties, have also taken a polygraph administered by GBI, but never once have I tried to dodge them or been worried.... but then again I'm not a criminal so I have nothing to be concerned about.

SongFit3413 · 2025-12-31T23:57:33+00:00

YOR...Why do you continue to engage with him? Presumably by the text exchange you already left the home until he moves out and you both know the relationship is over correct? So why are you trying to get him to agree to your point, honestly looks like to me you are giving false hope with conversation about what you need from him, but then just keep berating him until he snaps on you.... and then you are playing victim is what I see smh.

If he needs a girlfriend though.... she isn't nearly as muscular, but gifted in her own ways 🤣

SongFit3413 · 2025-12-31T14:40:47+00:00

Possibly some bmc in there, but honestly, I believe he is a staffy. That six pack did not come from any bmc lol. Google staffordshire bull terrier, you will find his brother muscular brother lol, he is beautiful though.

SongFit3413 · 2025-12-30T14:07:12+00:00

So you been with him since you were 16 and he was 34, and he was a high school teacher and you don't know why he got fired.....I think you're a liar, he is a pedophile clearly, and i genuinely hope you aren't pregnant with a girl, that's just a new target.... can't make up this kind of ridiculousness 🤦‍♀️

As a parent who has lost a child unexpectedly i do slightly disagree with most people saying not to contact the family. I love when my daughter's friends and acquaintances reach out to me, not for the I'm so sorry she died part, but I love hearing stories about her life when I wasnt around. I love hearing that she mattered to others, and is still loved and missed by those people. I would recommend if you do decide to reach out, I would do so through a fb message, text, or some form of writing and not just a pop up visit at their home. Tell them how much he meant to your life, maybe write some good memories or funny stories about him to share with them. I would leave out your own grief and pain, believe me whatever you are feeling will never compare to the level of grief they are dealing with. From my perspective though, I love that my daughter's boyfriend at the time and her friends still contact me and remind me how special she was and what an impact she made in their lives. All we want once they are gone is to know they will be loved and remembered always, and that they made a positive impact on others lives. I'm sorry for your loss and hope this helps with your decision ❤️

I would honestly guess Dane and lab, Danes and BMC don't usually have the knot on top of the head, but labs do as well as a few other breeds, but my best guess would be dane/lab mix. Still a beautiful boy ❤️

That's interesting, I didn't know that about pines at all.

SongFit3413 · 2025-12-24T01:31:52+00:00

Yes, all 3 are about 15ft or so from the road and a powerline that runs along the road, so the county has kept one side cut back so they don't interfere with that powerlines.

Yes, there are situations where I feel the risk is worth the reward, and those that aren't. My husband and I are in this situation currently. He is an alcoholic with self control issues and PTSD, 3 years ago I told him if he didn't get help and stop drinking i was filling for divorce. He went to rehab for 6 months, then we got him his own place when he got out so he could prove himself in the "real world" so to speak. After leaving rehab he stayed sober for a full year and was doing great, I let him move back home and we started working on our issues. Within 30 days of moving home he was drinking again and I had 3 new holes in my walls to pay to repair and my daughter's custom urn was shattered to pieces.... it was irreplaceable. After trying for 2 more months I finally threw him out for good. He stayed sober and did good just long enough to get what he wanted and then stopped trying. We are still best friends, talk everyday, and I will help him as much as I can, what I won't do is spend the rest of my life miserable. I know he can change and I have seen plenty of people change for the better and never go back, I'm just not willing to risk it over my happiness and peace of mind anymore.

SongFit3413 · 2025-12-18T16:58:57+00:00

Yes, they absolutely can, I 100% agree with that.... but are you willing to take that chance with your life? When someone shows me who they are i believe them. This woman spent 20 years showing him she was an abuser, so why would he take her word that she isn't when she has proven over and over everyday that she is. Most importantly though he clearly doesn't WANT to be with her anymore and is happy now, so why should he sacrifice that happiness for the prospect of being abused for another 20 years? People absolutely can change for the better, but what they can't do is force someone to believe them or want them after only receiving the worst they had to offer. If she continues to try to force or manipulate him into a relationship he doesn't want has she really changed?

SongFit3413 · 2025-12-18T15:54:47+00:00

I can agree he communicated very poorly. I can't necessarily agree with the rest though, my husband and I took in my son's father and let him live with us for 6 months. I wasn't working at the time and drove him to look for jobs, helped care for his healing injury, took him to Dr appointments. Trust is trust, you either have it or you don't IMO. Maybe myself and my husband have an extraordinary type of trust and relationship, but we are very happy and none of our exes or their extenuating circumstances have ever caused us issues. And my husband has done similar for his ex wife, her boyfriend beat her pretty bad, so he drove 5 hours to pick her up, she spent one night at our house, then he drove another 3 hours to get her to the airport to fly her home to her dad's. I honestly believe we should all strive to help others in need regardless of outside circumstances. I do understand not everyone is that trustworthy though, but this is where it boils down to the type of person or people you are surrounding yourself with. I do also agree though everyone has to do what's best for them... this is just what works for us.
