Pics of Violet

Its raining....... so here are some pics.

She is almost 4 months old and probably close to 37 or 38 pounds.

She is a REALLY good puppy, I have been kind of going through some stuff recently and have not been able to spend the time with her that I usually do and she has been a complete angel.

The walking is going much better, in general I am very happy with her I think she will grow into a really nice dog (exactly the type of dog I wanted)

Gorgeous!!

What a cutie.

We ordered a DNA test from dnamydog.com

I know they are not as reliable as the blood samples but I figured what the hell. I am not going to send a picture just the DNA sample.

It should be interesting to see what comes back.

I have my suspicious about what her actual mix (from what my husband was told) is and I don't think I will ever know 100% but I thought it would be a neat idea to see what comes back.

Knowing her actual breed will help you watch her as she matures for problems she might some day have . Not only being fun to know it will be beneficial to .

I'm absolutely in love with violet. Certainly green with envy over here.

She is GORGEOUS!!

she is a pretty girl it would be interesting to know exactly
what mix she is

Can't wait to see what the DNA test says

I always thought the canine DNA tests were laughable.

tell me what they say , because i cant download it

The test came back and stated that this purebred AKC CH American Staffordshire Terrier is a mix of Border Collie, Boston Terrier, and Bulldog.

Someone on another group had their obviously mixed dog come up purebred poodle! :lol:
The dog was so far from even a poodle mix it wasn't funny!

holy shit, are these official tests, who are they done by, are these the tests that akc uses? i have some american bred dogs whos dna # is right on thier reg. papers. now im nervous!!

"""""" drum roll """"""""""

she came back 30 to 70% staffy
15 to 30 % boxer
5 to 10% bulldog

Which I think is a pretty good result considering they had no pic or description of her.
But obviously she has SOME mastiff in her, but at least she is not a poodle LMAO

Updated pics

Awe..... so cute.

More pics from today

On our way to the dog park
She likes to sit in the front seat lol




And a video...

with a couple adult labs and a golden mix??
There was an entire family (mom dad and 2 kids) walking with there toy breed dach? but they wouldn't put him down they were just walking around carrying him....... I thought that was a bit odd.

I LOVE watching dogs interact, I think its my new hobby. Hopefully Violets temperament will stay this way and I can continue taking her to interact like this, I really enjoy it.

Violet's getting big, that pic of her and Lucky is so cute.

Looks like Violet had a great time at the park. She is getting to be a big girl!!

She looks super friendly mcpug and boy does she look happy now!

I can't believe how big she has gotten

Thanks guys 8)

I have a question for BBE (or anyone else with a large breed who has an opinion)

For her spay, our vet said to wait until she is 7 to 9 months (instead of 6 months) because she was such a big dog, but I am wondering should I wait even longer? like 18 months/2 years?

I would rather do it sooner then later just because heats are such a pain but what do you guys think?

My vet always reccomended spaying after the first heat cycle,big or small dogs,but I think every vet has their own opinion

My vet told me after the first heat cycle and before the second is the best time.
