Tiny...my rescue story...

Mdeniz · 01-11-2011, 10:05 AM

A rescue that i have been involved with in the past sends us an email every time they get a new puppy, and the story of this one really caught our attention. @ 10weeks old she has only lived in the wild, she was found with her brother beside their mom's dead body (got hit by a car) in a rural road. The guy who found them took her to the rescue, were her brother was nipping her ears constantly, she had to had both her ears drained from blisters caused by her brother, who was adopted by a family 1 week ago.

Saturday my GF and I went to meet her and brought her home. 2 vets that have seen her think she is a bermese mountain dog GSD mix, because of her size @10 weeks (her baby teeth are still growing in) she is 21lbs, so they expect her to be extra-large. but she also looks a lot like a Rottweiler so we'll just have to wait and see. Her name is Tiny (figured is going to be hilarious when she is 80lbs)

Whats are your opinions??? Do yous ee GSD in her????
I will be doing DNA testing to find out her true heritage pretty soon.

Very cute, I actually see Rottie x Sharpei

She is adorable! The markings definately seem a little Rottie to me, but GSD markings are so similar that it's hard to tell at this age.

Glad both were rescued, poor momma, and pups you could say.
Whatever she is, she's adorable!
Myself, I can see the possiblility of GSD.

She is sooo cute. I see rotti. Will you be keeping her, or just fostering? Either way, thank you for taking in this adorable girl. BTW, I love inappropriate names for dogs. My uncle had a chi named Hercules. Tiny is a great name for a huge dog. You will have to get a "Beware of Tiny" sign for your door.

thanks for all the support, she will definitly be staying with us, we also have a 3 year old catahoula and its funny to see them play its like 2 sisters, they run around and play every chance they get. someone mentioned the ears looked like they were on their way up, so who knows. DNA will tell the story hopefully.

After 3 days in the house i can take her outside and have her pee on command LMAO she is super smart and curious just have to keep her stimulated. Just for show and tell, below is my catahoula Zoe keep in mind i'm 6"4

She looks quite similar to our previous dog, who was a GSD/malemute mix. Here's what she looked like as a pup:

And as an adult:

But, she does look darker and heavier, so it looks like there might be some rottie in there as well. But I definitely see some GSD in her!

Thanks for rescuing this cute girl! This is a great place to be for education and support. Hope you stick around!
