Dog Owner Chat v4

[Taiger Lilly]

As far as we can tell she's a supermutt.
Dad was mixed, mom was mixed.
(lots of irresponsible people involved in her life, probably including me for taking a dog from an oops litter. Everyone is doing their best now)
We think dad was a border collie (or Aussie) mixed with husky.
Mom is completely unknown, I posted her on this thread a while back for breed guesses, but she's kind of a mutant anyways, haha.

Very cute nonetheless!

Yeah, I do see a bit of Border Collie in her, or perhaps Australian Shepherd like you said.

This girl is seriously in her element at the beach! She doesn't swim much, but loves skipping across the water to chase stones. She's such a silly pup!

I'm so mad at my brother right now.

His dog peed in the kitchen because he's 6 years old and believes everywhere is his bathroom.
It's been there for god knows how long because my brother believes his very dog can do no wrong and each dog fight is the fault of my dogs, not his dog snapping at the bigger dogs faces. but that's something I've gone on and on about here.

Gizmo is 6 years old and weighs 6.6 pounds last vet visit, judging by how bad his breathing is getting because of how his snout is shaped, and how he's walking from that last neck injury, he's probably not gonna be here much longer. Even the vet says so. He's currently walking hunched like a hissing cat all the time but we're told he's not actively in pain.

Walking like this dog.

I got onto my brother the other day about how crappy he trained his dog, he got mad, we fought. He blamed my dogs for his dogs aggression, when really my dogs are other dog friendly, as long as there's not a 6 pound ball of eternal rage snapping at their faces.

So his dog peed in the kitchen, where people are actively cooking mind you.
So, I asked my brother to grab me a dirty towel from the bathroom, I need to run a load of towels anyway so it wasn't a big deal, he goes into the bathroom and uses the bathroom. Doesn't bring me a towel on his way back. His reason? There's paper towels right there. Right there was on the other side of the kitchen.

I wasn't going to walk across the kitchen with dog pee on my foot.
Not while people were actively cooking.

On another note on the whole Gizmo deciding everywhere is his bathroom.

My brother has dog poop caked into the floor of his room because he was too lazy to go clean it up.
He kept a pillow in his room so Gizmo could get up onto his bed that was always soaked in pee.

His room at this point is actually toxic to go into.
I've gone in and almost thrown up from the smell.
How does he live like that?????

His way of covering the smell?
Let's burn wax cubes 100% of the time and mix the smell of urine and feces with some sickening sweet smell instead of cleaning everything up like he's been told 50 times in the past month.

Okay wow this turned into a rant about my brother and his dog. Feels good to get it out, but dang this is a long post.

My puppy fell asleep and turned into a corgi??


Jokes aside, still not sure what her ears wanna do?

We've postponed taking her home at 8 weeks since most of her siblings are staying until 10 weeks, so we figured the extra socialization time wouldn't hurt. We've been visiting lots and are planning on "stealing" her for a few short (couple hours) visits to our place to help her get to know us better etc.

She's absolutely adorable, Lilly! What breed is she, may I ask? <3

@LeiaWolfe

She mentioned it above. I think she said the puppy's breeds are unknown, but the father is believed to be a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd with a Husky mix, and the mom's breeds are unknown.

[Marley.&.Me]

how does my little man look?

[shadow~wolf]

How can you build drive in a low-ish drive dog?

[waggy]

What dog breeds do you guys adore?

I'm asking because I was THINKING (still don't know if we might) of getting another doggo.
