This is Kepler, our newly-adopted rescue mutt.





The vet estimated his age at 9-12 months and thinks he's probably a black lab and border collie mix. He's 57 pounds and may still have a little more growing to do, judging by his face and paws. One straight ear, one floppy ear.

We know nothing about his background before the rescue. He was found as a stray and was probably abandoned (not fixed, no ID or microchip, a little bit of food anxiety, and a lot of separation anxiety -- but very friendly and comfortable around humans).

The light/pink spots on his nose seem to be scar tissue rather than natural coloring. They're slightly raised and there's not as much hair there. We think he probably got into it with another dog or other animal at some point.

We'll probably get a DNA test done out of curiosity, but does anyone have any guesses what breeds might be in him?

This is Sammy. She's now about a year old and we got her at about 8 weeks. Our old dog died after we had him for 17 years, and my wife said we would never get another. Two weeks later her comes Sammy.

Sammy is named for Sammy Davis Jr. The litter was named after the rat pack and the golden girls. Someone switched the collars on boy Sammy and girl Rose, and so when we went to get boy Sammy we got what should have been Rose as Sammy! When my wife got back with her we checked the pictures online and their blue eyes were switched

Anywhoodles, mom is a red bone coon hound and dad is a husky. A couple in the litter were full on husky looking, and the others were her color. She figured out how to bark about a month ago over doing the husky cry.
That is a beautiful dog. But wow, a hound and a husky -- sounds like a handful!

This is the most generic, stock photo-lookin' dog I have ever seen. Adorable AF but I am in awe of how much of a textbook definition nondescript generated by AI default "dog" that dog is. That dog's breed is just Dog. drat. the doggiest dog that ever dogged.

Wow, that is a dog, for sure. Maybe some beagle and terrier?

Are you going to DNA test at some point?
