We've added a new member to our family. Aero was adopted from the SPCA of Texas, Dallas shelter, on March 22,
2008.
Breed guesses:
5/29/2008 I sent off for his DNA Breed ID results in April and
due to being unable to extract enough DNA from some defective swabs the company is now sending a new swab so we can try again.
I'm currently guessing that Aero has a goodly amount of Australian Shepherd in him. Maybe an Aussie GSD mix.
We'll see if I'm completely off base! It appears he may not get as large as originally thought. he weighs
about 40 pounds now.
3/30/08 Okay, we think we've got it. He's a German
Shepherd. (We're brilliant, I'm telling you! But hey- I've never had a GSD pup!) The color
threw us, but after looking at some long haired GSD puppy photos online, those are his people. The silver color isn't
common nor accepted by the show folks... but their loss! He's a beauty... and every bit as smart and wonderful as
his proper cousins!
3/24/08 Looking pretty much like a large Australian Shepherd. Not like
a puppy Aussie, but like an adult Aussie. In other words, he's an American Mongrel who just happens to be beautiful.
3/23/08 Seemed
pretty much like a Great Pyrenees puppy.
3/22/08 Guesses ranged from German Shepherd mix to some
sort of Borzoi Anatolian Shepherd something or other.
Size:
3-23-2008 Weight: 26 pounds.
He's a lean puppy, but not underweight.
Age at time of adoption: About 4.5 months.
3-30-08 -
Has his adult top center incisors and nubs for about half of the others.
