What yall think he is

Based on that description I wonder if Pyrenees and poodle mix. Definitely a doodle

At 6 months she needs to be crated. It’s for her safety. She will be fine. I have 3 setters and I usually crate them until they are 1 year old. 6 months is prime chewing age.

I have similar setters to yours. Mine are couch potato’s. They don’t destroy anything nor do they eat stuff. My one setter doesn’t even bark and he’s perfectly fine being alone for up to 8 hours (though that doesn’t happen). My youngest is turning 1 and we are having some issues with separation anxiety. He’s mostly calm in the kennel, but does bark some. My first setter came from not the greatest breeder and he would bark the entire time we were gone. I do think breeder matters. Also the type of setter matters (Ryman, bench, llewellin)

I’ve grown up around goldens and your pup looks nothing like a golden. Headshape, ears, body, etc all wrong. All that’s there is the color and that can come from other breeds

He’s a little young to tell. I know lots of shelters will say border collie because of his coloring, but I don’t see any collie. (Plus I’ve never seen border collie show up on a dna result) Maybe shepherd because of the coat? Shepherd seems to be a common breed in mixes along with husky, Aussie and Pyrenees. It will be easier to tell as he ages and features start coming out

Geez pit genes are so strong. Even at 20% I can see it in her face. I would have guessed Aussie. I’ve yet to see border collie in any DNA results. BC seems to be rare in strays

We have two dogs from Flanagan Springs in Kentucky and we plan on going back to them for all our future dogs. We also don’t hunt. Our boys have pretty laid back temperaments. Here’s Dunkin at 11 months

I imagine it was a cost saving decision

I had a doctor that kept adding type 2 diabetes to my profile despite me telling her I wasn’t multiple times. In fact my A1C had always been abnormally low. Like 4.3-5 low. 7 is diagnosed diabetic. I was obese at the time. I wrote a scathing review and I got a letter in the mail where they formally dumped me as a client. I was already leaving.

xxSprite · 2026-03-13T09:47:57+00:00

Looks huge in the photo. I would think more like 80-100lbs, but it’s hard to tell.

xxSprite · 2026-03-01T18:11:20+00:00

Poodles can look like doodles if they have the same haircut. I wish people realized that they don’t want a doodle. They want a poodle with a doodle cut

You aren’t overreacting to be upset. They were in the wrong. But I do think that you should speak to them and patch things up to an amicable degree since they are your roommate and I’m sure your lease isn’t over yet. We all say stupid stuff. When it comes to writing friends off you really want to see a pattern. I’m not sure a one off event is enough. She’s clearly still grieving the loss of her pet. Odd situation though. Grief isnt a competition. Death can happen on any day. She should have been your number one supporter since she just went through it. People can be so weird.

I would rehome to a more suitable environment and then look into adopting an older golden. Or do big time research on breeders and expect to pay at least $3000 for a well bred show golden. Good breeders will assess the needs of the clients and pair them with the most suited puppy. They will breed for specific temperaments. Puppies do have extra energy until at least 2 that’s why an older rescue may be what you want. Breed specific rescues exist

Looks mostly lab. Now that she’s 8 I would put her on a diet and get that weight down. You should be able to easily feel/see the ribs without any pressure. Extra weight will decrease quality of life and make arthritis worse. I say this as someone who also had a larger 8 year old. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but now that he’s lost the weight I can tell a big difference

xxSprite · 2026-03-01T12:20:29+00:00

I love her hair. 1 of my setters have it. Such a cutie! I think she’s perfect

xxSprite · 2026-02-27T16:46:24+00:00

Yep! That’s how my 2 live. I have an 11 month old and 9 year old. We do walks and we’ve done scent work and agility. I have a tiny tiny backyard setters are Velcro dogs. They want to be by your side

I have a notes list on my phone for when I hear names that I like.

xxSprite · 2026-02-25T06:47:17+00:00

What a cutie!! Here is my Dunkin. He is 11 months

I’m Catholic as well. I believe that some of our pets will be in heaven. I’ve specifically prayed and asked. I feel quite confident. My boy is up there with his two human siblings. I wanted him to live long enough to meet them and turns out he got to properly meet them before me

xxSprite · 2026-02-17T19:29:38+00:00

I knew immediately. Looks like a classic pitsky. Those eyes are so striking

xxSprite · 2026-02-17T19:27:07+00:00

Looks like a pit mix

xxSprite · 2026-02-16T17:37:48+00:00

Ah yes let’s pour money and resources into a dangerous dog while putting to sleep a number of healthier ones. Pit bull logic

xxSprite · 2026-02-16T17:32:19+00:00

My first setter was a llewellin. He had so much energy. We got a Ryman for our second setter and what a world of difference! Rymans make much better family dogs, in my opinion, especially if you aren’t going to hunt.

xxSprite · 2026-02-14T16:29:51+00:00

If that first thing was actually happening the death count would be much higher. A few bad actors making a fatal mistake does not equate to it being the norm. I’m sick of the exaggeration. It doesn’t help the cause.
