we just got sushi from the shelter about a week ago, and we're convinced he's in no way a beagle mix, there's my avatar pic as well as a few pics here...


thanks for the feedback, he's relatively sedate, what's got us pretty convinced that he's a pitbull mix is, as even as his temperament is with humans he tends to lunge towards other dogs in excitement or aggression?? maybe?? he's also got pit ears, he's about 35 pounds right now and he's only 6 months, he hasn't been eating very well (he's an owner surrender) and so we're thinking it's an adjustment period, along with his kennel cough he got from the shelter...but we really don't think he's a beagle mix, but the shelter was FULL of pitbulls so we aren't sure why they would lie? on his papers he says that he was a beagle boston terrier, but he's too big already, haha we're just not sure what he is poor guy
i volunteered at a shelter for a while, and to my surprise (i feel sooo naive sometimes) a lot of the staff was very prejudiced against pits( pits are one of my most favorite breeds of dogs). i'm sure that they have to deal with a lot of irresponsible dog owners and there are a lot of pits in my neck of the woods, but come on, you work with dogs all the time, during the year i worked there, they euthanized a newfie for attacking one of the staff (she's a "know-it-all" idiot, imo), whenever a non-pit showed any signs of aggression (like when a lab mix attacked a pit mix puppy and bit through his foot), they would just note it on the description, but if a pit so much as looked wrong at another dog, they would label him/her aggressive and dangerousthanks for the feedback, he's relatively sedate, what's got us pretty convinced that he's a pitbull mix is, as even as his temperament is with humans he tends to lunge towards other dogs in excitement or aggression?? maybe?? he's also got pit ears, he's about 35 pounds right now and he's only 6 months, he hasn't been eating very well (he's an owner surrender) and so we're thinking it's an adjustment period, along with his kennel cough he got from the shelter...but we really don't think he's a beagle mix, but the shelter was FULL of pitbulls so we aren't sure why they would lie? on his papers he says that he was a beagle boston terrier, but he's too big already, haha we're just not sure what he is poor guy
