Tell us about yourself: Hello, we have rescued a new addition. His name is Kitty and he was saved from poor conditions in downtown L.A.. we saw him posted on craigslist and couldnt srop thinking about him, the next day we decided he was the one. As we had been looking at getting a pup anyways. We were told he was 8 weeks when we got him and he had been dewormed, and had shots. We were alao told he was a black lab and Australlian shepard mix. After a trip to the vet the next day, none of that held up. HE WAS ONLY 6 WEEKS!!!! had worms and no shots. Weighed 7.4 pounds, happy to inform 3 weeks of having him anf he is a whopping 15 pounds!
This is Kitty. He is 9 months old and I rescued him from downtown LA. we were told he was an Australlian shepherd/ black lab mix and was 8 weeks old. of course we took him straight to the vet to make sure he was a healthy boy, and if not, make him one the vet said no way was he this mix and he was 5-6 weeks old not 8 like we were told. he had worms and was severely malnourished, weighing 7 pounds. Kitty is now 56 pounds and stands 23 inches from the ground to the top of his shoulder blades. he has pretty fine short hair all over aside from a very unique stripe of wavy, almost course hair down the center of his back starting at his shoulder blades going to the base of his tail. almost similar to a ridgeback. Kitty has long hairs on his hind legs, around his butt and a little down his hind legs, also has some long hair on his chest. he is VERY protective!! but absolutely loves other dogs. he is the social butterfly at the dog beach and will play ALLLLLLL day. anyways, I would love some input on what you guys think

- Post clear images of your canine. It is best to have multiple angles while standing (head on/side) with something in the photo that helps determine size and proportion.
The one pic that shows his ears makes him look much less like a DSD, though. They look roundish like you'd see on pitbulls with erect ears.
