Cats, Dogs, & Other Pets

[JaredL]

Here are some pictures of my dog. She's named Ko'olau after the mountains where my wife is from.

We've had her over a month now. We got her at a local shelter. They said she's a shepherd mix but random people have said everything from Basenji, Corgi, pit bull, cattle dog and a few others as well as dingo. While she does look like a dingo, and they do breed with domesticated dogs I don't see how in the hell a dingo mix could wind up in a shelter in Pittsburgh. In any case I think she's a serious mix. Other than the ears she doesn't seem to have obvious breed markings. I'm no expert but she probably doesn't have any purebred grandparents. Looking up the thread she looks a fair bit like Pumpkin Escobar's dog. Opinions of those more knowledgeable would be interesting.

She's 7 months. The vet says she's basically full grown at just under 40 pounds.

Here's a pic of her after playing in the mud at the dog park:
