Who's your daddy? (and mommy?)


We do not have information on the parents of these pups. The shelter in TN called them Pyrenees mixes due to their whitish coloring and double back dew claws that Pyrenees are known for. They are much, much smaller than what a 3 month old Pyrenees would be. I read a 3 month old Pyrenees is already about 30 lbs. These pups are half that weight. Only two of the pups have the longer hair like the Pyrenees and interestingly these are the darker colored pups. One of the longer haired pups has a long body and shorter legs, now where did that come from??? Each of these pups looks so different. Two are very yellow lab looking. One is brown looking like some kind of beagle/hound mix. One has more upright ears. I wonder if her ears will eventually stand up. Finally, Reagan, our little foster seems to have markings like a spaniel. All and all, adorable fun mix breeds. (maybe they have different daddies, it can happen) If anyone is dying to know, try out the DNA kit that Lori sells on her wellness site. I used it with my dog who was thought to be a spaniel/retriever mix. She is little and I found she is spaniel but not retriever.
