Guest Anonymous Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I'm helping out a rescuer in the area. She is at a loss why this guy isn't getting adopted. She wonders if it isn't his breed listing. She has him listed as an Anatolian/Golden mix. I foster ASD's but do not count myself an expert in the mixes of the breed. His markings are similar to two foster pups I had but at 6 months old those guys were already close to 70 pounds.

Guest Anonymous Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 [quote name='Debbie']I can definitely see the Anatolian in him !! :wink: I don't know why nobody would want him he's gorgeous !! :D[/quote] Thank you. I'm having a very hard time with this one. If they said he was closer to 4-5 months old I could see the ASD but at 9 months being so small and the way his legs turn have me going well...maybe not. The markings are right, the tail could use some curl. Ben is a cutie and if it weren't for having an adult male here already I'd offer to foster him...I think however at his size I could take two.

JackieMaya Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 What an adorable boy! He looks like so happy! I hope he gets a good forever home soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Either Anatolian or Tibetan Mastiff perhaps? He is a beautiful and fun looking boy no matter what and I hope he gets a forever home soon :fadein: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendalyn Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Maybe just change the listing to Shepherd/Golden mix? Maybe people are thrown off by the Anatolian part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks everyone for your gueses. Golden mix seems to be the best guess so far. The only thing throwing me is his size but my contact with the ASD rescue said he could have gotten his size from the smaller mix. Shrugs...I dunno. I had an ASD mix with the same markings but by 6 months he was bigger than this guy. I've sent a few questions to the rescue that has Ben asking things like "Double Dewclaws?". Also, the curves in his front legs throws me to. So we will see...below are pictures of the two ASD mixes that I had when they were six months old. Diego when we brought him home (I don't have any of the recent pictures from his new mom scanned right now) [img]http://img17.photobucket.com/albums/v51/JTDinger/IM000306.jpg[/img] Caesar at about 8 months old. This is the one I let go. But that is okay because his new mom loves him and keeps in contact with me. That and he has a house in the Pocono's where he can play in the snow when they go on vacation :-) [img]http://img17.photobucket.com/albums/v51/JTDinger/IM000330.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
