    Dog Identification Plez

     



    Is this a Pit Bull? She is a stray that has been hanging around and running up and down the highway. I've been feeding her and she is starting to trust me a little more each day. She acts very scared as if someone has mistreated her so I'm going slow and easy. These are the best pics I could get because this is as close as she has let me get to her.

    Looks like some shepherd or heeler bloodline, too. Not a pure pit bull for sure.

    Just enough to be unpredictable --We are a rescue and have heard some sad stories. They can snap in a heartbeat and with those jaws they can tear you apart.

    One of the best dogs that ever owned me was a stray. It was many years ago and I've had some great dogs since but the ole stray was definitely one of the most loving, protecting dogs a person could wish for. Give her a good home, she'll give you a great companion.

    Looks like a heeler/border collie cross.
    If you have kids, don't trust it or any stray dog around them! Ask around to find its owner, or call the pound. If it ran away from an abusive owner, it might have some serious behavioral issues.

    My daughter brought home a pit as a puppy. It had been mistreated and was very afraid of men. She started to develop into a family dog getting along with the female Doberman we already had. She was very suspicious of any man that came around. One day I went down the street to visit a friend and my wife and daughter can down going crazy that the two dogs had gotten into a fight and there was blood everywhere. I rushed home and it was over by the time I got there and they were both covered in blood. Got them to the vet and the pit was not hurt. The Doberman had just gnawed on the pits head which you cannot hurt. The Doberman was shredded in the chest and front legs. The pit ended up getting out of her kennel and attacking my female shorthair. My daughter witnessed the attack and tried to get her off the other dog and got bit. Not seriously but that was it! I will never have another. I know a lot of people have had good luck with them. If you ever see one of them "go off" it will scare the crap out of you.

    I have mixed emotions about taking in a stray. Years ago, a wirehair terrier wamdered into our yard and my kids (2-4) played with her all day. This went on for a couple of days and so I began asking around for the owner. No one knew where she came from. It was about 40 degrees and raining when I came home from work one night and the dog was sitting by the back door shivering. It had never been inside. I took her in and gave her a bath. We had a fire in the fireplace and she curled up and slept through the night. From that point on, she never left us and protected the kids like they were her pups. I have never owned a better dog. She never strayed from the yard and always came when we called her. My feelings about all of this is that we were very lucky. Taking in a stray is risky and if a dog the size of the one you have gets out of control it could be a big problem. I'd call animal control before I got too attached to it. We have a 90 pound Golden Retriever....the most people friendly dog there is but he scares the crap out of me if I get close to him when he's eating something like a piece of meat.

    All good sound advice and greatly appreciated. I will be the only one to feed her or be around her so I will be the one that needs to tread cautiously. At first I thought that someone had dumped her because she was pregnant but that doesn't seem to be the case now. I don't want another dog but I can't stand to see one go hungry so I guess I'll play this one by ear. I'm keeping all of y'alls advice in hand.

    You may be correct, Charlie, but I believe her to be what my grandfather, Al Cash, would Identify as rare "Leon County Skunk Dog", as opposed to a bird dog or a squirrel dog or a coon dog.

    We have lived in fairly nice rural or semi-rural areas most of my life, Ideal places for -------s to dump unwanted pets. "Rusty will find a good home here". We always had our quota of pets already and it tore me up to have to take one to the shelter.

    Regarding Sfort's posting about the dog fight, and this is a little off-thread, I lived in a suburb of Washington DC for three years. When I was able to do such things I used to run every day. My usual route took me by a house where a big Shepherd looking dog was kept chained. When I went by that beast would go into a roaring rage and lunge till he hit the end of the chain showing his fangs and pawing the air and, frankly, scaring the (stuffing) out of me. Across the street from that monster lived one of those big full sized pink Poodles with the silly show-dog haircuts. I'm sure he was a fine and valuable animal. They never really appealed to me, but thanks to him I learned something about poodles.

    One day the shepherd's collar broke and he headed straight for the poodle and all hell broke loose. You might think it would be time to arrange for a nice burial for the poodle. WRONG! I found out that poodles are fighters. Poodle was more than holding his own in the combat. Then, Poodle's owner came running out with a four-foot long 2X4. Every time the Shepherd came to the top the guy teed off on him with the board. The tide of the battle changed. In a few moments the Shepherd saw the error in his ways and went staggering off holding his head sideways and dripping blood from somewhere on his head.

    Justice had been served.

    In the first pic she appears to be milking, or is that just some dark junk on the far side of her?
    You might want to track her and see if she has pups.

    bet she will be your best friend if given a chance. all it takes is love .
    I agree with Shine!!! I've had aggressive dogs, most notably a chow/lab longhaired mix. Best dog I've ever had - but didn't take to ALL strangers - seems to be able to read human character very well.

    It won't take long to determine how aggresive she will be. Just be careful with small children, especially toddlers until you determine her character.

    I've also known Labs with wide jaws/head like that.

    I see a lot of different breeds in her. Most of them have been mentioned.

    Whats her disposition? If she is approachable she may turn out to be a good adoption dog. Don't let her by your kids until you're sure she can be trusted - or your dogs/cats.

    Take her to the vet to get checked out, vaccinated and checked for parasites.
