I just thought I'd share that I got a new puppy November 26th as an 8 week old, he is now almost 13 weeks old. His name is Riley.
I was originally told he was half Red Heeler (mom) and half German Shorthair Pointer (dad). But than the owner said she didn't know for sure what the dad was (it was an "oops" litter, she never actually saw the dad). When I went to pick up Riley his mom was not at the same house as the puppies so I never got to see her, just recently I asked for pictures of the mom. Her owner insists that she is a purebred Red Heeler (no papers, she got her from a friend who told her she was purebred) although after looking at the pictures I personally don't think the mom is a purebred Red Heeler, although I do think she has Red Heeler in her.
Anyways, for Christmas I got that Breed Identifier test (the XL one) and just sent in his sample today. The results I think will be out in about 2 weeks.
So I thought it might be fun and interesting to have a "guessing game" and see if anyone can guess what kind of mix he is judging by the pictures I post and the pictures of his mom. When I get the results back I'll post them and see who guess right/guessed closest as to what kind of mix he is.
So....what do you think? I can post more pictures if you'd like.
*Edited to add: The mom the owner said is about 30 lbs or so, and Riley is 12 pounds at 13 weeks. (keep in mind he was pretty underweight when I first got him and in a month he gained 6 lbs.)
