Breed? future weight/size of rescue dog?
HELP!
Thinking about adopting a puppy. Currently estimated age 5-7 months based on adult canine teeth, 22 lbs, listed as Brittany/Terrier X on Petfinder. (not). We just received new pictures from the rescue and she looks like a golden. We were in the process of arranging her flight and adoption. Please look at these photos and offer your opinions! http://www.countrycornercrafts.com/red.html Estimates on adult weight and size? Possible breed mix? When do dogs reach their full adult size? Fast responses very much appreciated. THANKS |

OK, based on being 6 months, plus or minus, I would venture to say the dog
won't get much larger than 35 pounds. I am making this rash prediction based on the current size of the feet. The feet in the picture are pretty much in proportion to the body right now. If this dog were going to grow into a 60-70 pound dog I would expect to sse much larger feet. As far as the what makes up the mix, I have given up making guesses there. Unless someone actually witnessed or controlled the conception process, it is difficult to say. Yes, it would be easy to jump at it meing a golden mix, based on several observable characteristics. But, what difference does it make? It looks like you have a lovable dog. chuck petterson rescue bus driver "QuirkySue" wrote in message m... HELP! Thinking about adopting a puppy.
