Which breed designations should I be careful of when searching to adopt a puppy2007-11-25 2:55:06
If you are adopting through a state run or a reputable private rescue, chance are 99.9% sure that they are being totally honest with everything that they know or may even suspect about the dog.
For instance, we have to disclose if we even think the dog may be a biter, so do your homework about who you are adopting from and if they are reputable, they will be upfront.
The shelters & rescues take their best guess, but many times, it's nothing more than a guess.
That puppy may very well have Labrador in her. Plus, if the mother was that mix, and father was unknown, they're going to list the breeds they have available via information. Looks like father may have been a beagle, or a hound breed.
They do not purposely mislabel the breed(s), but sometimes, they just have to take a guess.
it looks more like a terrier or mini saint bernard. either way, any breed will make a perfect pet as long as they are socialized and trained.
That's a Jack Russell Terrier! If she had lab in her she'd show it!
My husband surprised me one day with a retriever, chow, pit bull mix puppy. We have had her a little over a year now and she couldn't be sweeter. She is gentle, playful, and obedient. I admit when I 1st heard she was part pit-bull and chow I was hesitant. You really dont know what you will get when you adopt a mixed-breed. Whats most important is training them well and loving them.
Regardless of where you obtain a puppy or adult dog from, it is good to understand the personality of each breed of dog first, plus consider your own lifestyle before committing to a dog. This means considering whether the dog is good with children if children are in the picture, what size the dog will be when fully grown, what kind of exercise it requires, how much food it will need and what kind of medical problems it is prone to because of its particular breed.
