Introducing Jax!

[rootofnewt]

I have a new nephew!

He has a penchant for eviscerating reindeer, so I know he'll fit in just fine.



Isn't he adorable?

So cute! That nose is killing me.

Oh, man, I want a dog. Not yet, I have to wait, but still.

You should go visit him. He's only an hour away from you, ne? ;)

He's adorable! What breed is he?

[krasota.livejournal.com]

The shelter claimed lab mix, which I assume means pit mix. ;) I think Brandon said he was an owner surrender, along with a foster sibling that has already been adopted out.

Brandon's area has been hit very hard by the housing crisis. I imagine that might be the reason for the surrender. Jax is super friendly, well socialized, house trained, etc. The only thing he does is pull at the leash, so I recommended Brandon pick up a Gentle Leader.

I haven't asked if the dog's been in the pool yet. ;)

Definately a lot of lab in his looks ^_^

I thought he looked like there's some pit bull in him. I've never met a mean pit bull, they're sweet.

He's a beauty!!

You know, I'm not sure I see any terrier in him. He's gorgeous though. There's definitely some sort of lab in him -- probably some pit -- but my guess is mostly lab and some hound.

That is a mug you have to love. He's a cutie.

Adorable!! I'd definitely call him a lab-mutt. He's got lab with a few others for sure.

I was mostly joking about the pit reference.

In other pictures, I'd even guess at some border collie or australian shepherd or something. He has a white chest with gray spots. So pretty. Brandon needs to put those online, too.

He doesn't look very pit to me, but I do know a lot of shelters label as labs rather than pits because there are city ordinances to not keep pit bulls. It's sad... pit bulls are very sweet.

[krasota.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I love pits. They are so sweet. Some of the sweetest dogs I've ever met were pits.

Aww! You got a nephew and I got a niece. Happiness!

Reindeer feet smell like snow.

The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was lab/pit mix...SO cute! 2 of my favorite kinds of dogs.
