well, it's been a month or two since we got him, and he's coming along great. he's one smart cookie, and we can confirm he was definitely house broken before we got him. whew. Gatsby learns new tricks after just a couple treat sessions... and amazingly enough, hasn't chewed up anything but his chew toys. we're working on getting his weight up since he hasn't gained a pound since we brought him home. we're feeding him about double what is normally fed to a dog his size. we're wondering if he's still growing or if the shelter was just completely wrong about his age. he had his second vet check up a week ago, and everything is good. now i'm trying to figure out what's he's made of. So far, I'm guessing he's got some Lab and pointer... but it's hard to say for sure since those are both pretty large breeds, and Gatsby's only 45lbs. I'm mulling over having one of those doggie DNA tests done. i don't care what he's mixed with and I have no problems at all with training him... just curious. have any guesses? for clues: -he's about 45lbs -he's all black, but just started growing in some dark grey hair underneath (looks like a winter coat?) -he has a crazy curly tail -he has big (like, bigger than what looks normal for his size) webbed feet -he has brown eyes
