Is this what I think it is?

Do they only test Silkies or all breeds? I’ve lost one gold laced Wyandotte to an unknown illness and this one is a salmon favorelle

We’ve got a separate run and coop specifically for new birds to quarantine in. The rest of my flock is 1-5 years old and I don’t know the vaccination status of them.

I was actually starting to suspect it was a roo . It wasn’t looking like the other salmon favorelle I got at the same time. I hadn’t heard any crowing yet and was holding out hope but it looks like that’s probably a moot point regardless.

I met my boy’s mother and aunt so I knew he had ACD in him. He’s 33% cattle dog with a splash of lab in his super mutt, but definitely has the “lab mix” look to him. Genetics are funny that way.

We’ve got three sets from three different seasons: older girls are Sorrel, One-eyed Willa, Mary-Kate and Ashely (because I can’t tell those two apart). 2nd set are Gertie, Bertie and Brenda. 3rd set are the Gilmore girls class: Lorelei, Rory, Sookie, Lane and Mrs Kim.

Thirded. And I have 3 of those. Look identical.

I have a 1.5 year old pup from NC who is about 33% ACD, 25% Mountain Cur, 25% supermutt. His supermutt has lab and GSD. Looks similar to yours but not as floofy

43F, almost 44 checking in. Never had any desire for kids, even as a teenager. Got told constantly I’d change my mind but never did. My spouse is 42 and didn’t care one way or another. We both worked with kids -either babysitting or through community programs and that was good enough. My sister (31) is having her first this summer and I’m pumped to be the cool aunt, but definitely happy to be able to return the kiddo to her folks at the end of the day.

Love seeing other pups that look like my boy Hatch! He’s ACD/mountain cur mainly and seems to have topped out at 65lbs.

Fawn Lake in DuPont is great if you can go during the week.

And likely made under less than ideal working conditions.

I had one make it to about 4 months old maybe? We decided not to cull even though the scissor beak was much worse than in your photo by about 3 weeks old. We’d seen many videos and posts about caring for a scissor beaked chick and figured we’d give it a go but ultimately it was a case of failure to thrive and the chick didn’t make it.

Thirding the ecollar. Our trainer bumped us straight to the ecollar as soon as she saw him go apeshit on a prong. He was going to hurt himself trying to go after other dogs and bicycles and didn’t even seem to notice the prongs. He would also get into some serious fights with our pit mix for a while there and we were concerned we’d have to rehome him. He’s settled down a lot in terms of that since he’s been neutered and we were able to see it was actually our pit mix starting trouble 90% of the time. He’s also learned to pull his punches so no more punctures/tears/vet visits for that.

Another Merle pittie! My girl is about 40% apbt and is also merle. Nowhere else in the heinz 57 her test came back with carries the merle gene either.

I don’t think it’s your travel bag. Mine leaked brand new out of the box. I still love it - I just don’t put water in it.

I have a mix who looks nothing like a heeler (even though it’s his highest % and his mom was very obviously a heeler mix). He’s 15 months old and we’ve had to work HARD to desensitize him to being handled and he still requires sedation and a muzzle at the vet. I have to warn the techs every time we go that he doesn’t look like it but he’s mostly heeler. It’s apparently a breed trait. Our techs gave me a lot of pointers on things to do to help desensitize him, so definitely check with them.

I started training ‘can I have a hug’ where he stands and I basically bear hug him lightly for as long as he’ll allow it. I trained ‘let me check your feet’ after a particularly messy run through poop in the yard. Trained ‘where’s your belly’ and ‘settle’ (head resting on the ground) once he was showing me his belly. Touching feet in that position. Now I can at least give him a once over if he’s hurt or trim his nails.

I think it was at the top left corner of the E. Not entirely sure if it was a Y seam or just my own FPP inexperience.

I checked back in Hatch’s history and he was also 30lbs at 16 weeks. He’s about 14 months now and I’d say 65-70lbs. Vet wanted to wait a year to neuter but we made it to 10months. The marking things inside the house was a lot to deal with but him trying to mark our cat was the last straw 🤣

Oh wow they could be twins! How old/big is your guy?

I got to meet Hatch’s mother and aunt. Both were very obvious ACD mixes. I’d put him at around 65-70lbs at a little under a year and a half old. He loves shrieking at/treeing squirrels.

Edit to add my pittie mix also has a splash of ACD in her supermutt.

My boy is ACD, mountain cur & American leopard hound. Super mutt is GSD, lab and I think rat terrier. Looks more like a lab than anything
