very cute. those feet look right for her size so she maybe a small dog after all. most big dogs start out with oversize feet to grow into.that last pic is great I always pick a dog with black roof in mouth as that was something Dad did.

Yep my Dad always said the same thing, pick the one with the black roof in it's mouth.

I pick the ones with the pink mouth roofs. I hate having a dog smarter then me.

On that note... If there is a group of puppies I let one pick me. I handle all of them and then step back to see who follows me. If one comes to me I'll put it back in the group and see if it follows me again. I've done that the last few times we picked a dog and the long term results were good!

Yep, by the size of those feet, I'd say she'll be small. That yap looks big enough to retrieve a duck already, though. Could work. Well, that is if she hasn't chewed the stock off the shotgun.

I didnt see the roof color on her Razz

I pick one that will look at me in the eye..
because I wear large sunnies the time I pick the dog,
the sunnies look like very big black eyes.
From the 5 siblings that I pick up, 4 looked away and refuse to stare.
This one just look at me and sorta like "what do you want?"

That is exactly what I did when we picked up our last 2 pups. I can't go anywhere or do anything with out them at my feet. The one is 13 years old now (retriever and lab cross) and the other one is 4 1/2 year old (miniature schnauzer ) and they like to go where I go. Smile

Actually 1895zz, he was dropped off out of a moving vehicle in the man made cut the the road runs through just below my home. He came to us cut and brused. along with an anal gland infection. Either that or the idiot had him in the bed of his pickup not secured and the 2 month old pup jumped out. Take your pick.

At any rate. We seem to have aquired a pretty damn good Staffordshire Bull Terrior.

ByTheWay Gelandangan...What did you name that..that..that pup. Surely not "Fleabag". [But he is cute].

Well, her name is "Eleven" as was voted on the 2nd of January 2011.
Of course I have no say on it Very Happy

Either way, he still had the sense to go to you for help (instead of your neighbors) and he obviously picked someone that would look after him instead of shoot him on the spot as a stray. Admit it Bushy, you do have a BIG heart, especially when it comes to animals. You can't fool me...! Smile

Wife and grand daughter were present when he came up the driveway. I couldn't shoot him in front of them...I get shot if I had.
