We are looking for another doggo, and the shelter has this sweet boy who is 3 , 110 lbs, and a golden retriever/German shepherd mix. He’s pretty calm and gets along with our dog. When he does pull he’s very strong though. He was also malnourished for his first couple years as previous owners couldn’t afford vet bills etc…but he is good now.
I am wondering though, it seems like a bad combo. He’s real tall and gangly. Not that we can’t afford medical bills for him, I’m just concerned…he also has anxiety but I think a stable house would help him.
We figured if someone doesn’t adopt him in a week we would maybe get him.
Any dog to me is fine with time as far as how they act but size. Ooof. I basically look at them and say. If this dog gets into the upper teens how old will I be and will I be able to lift them to get them to the vet.
I’d be able to lift him, but yes I did also think of that…
not lift him now. lift him in somewhere between 10 and 20 years depending how lucky you are. This becomes more a thing in peoples 40’s
Ye I get that.
With how big he is I’m not sure he’d make it past 8…but maybe he’s more of a mutt and would have a better chance
I like to think best case. Like I assume my goldens would reach upper teens.
