Wife Is Considering Adopting This Dog!

[Oh Little Oji]

A couple things happened today.

Cosmo had an escapade through the woods behind the nearby green space. He will not be trusted off leash again for quite some time. He toyed with us, even coming close a couple times, only to dash away. I employed Zephyr to help find and gain control of him again. Good Zephyr. We have Cosmo back safe and sound.

and...

We have DNA test results!!!

We have Cosmo back safe and sound.

Thank goodness!

We have DNA test results!!!

We'd love to hear if you want to share.

 

[Oh Little Oji]

We'd love to hear if you want to share.

So, what percentage of Great Dane does everybody think Cosmo has in him?

what percentage of Great Dane does everybody think Cosmo has in him?

You haven't shared enough photos to make a good guess.

100

You're right. I am not the most picture-prolific guy. I tried to upload a pic last night but as sometimes happens, the pic does not successfully send form my phone to my email. Will try for the third time I guess.

I was going to guess 30% since it sounded like you were shocked ....he was'nt supposed to mature into a 'big' dog was he? Although we know, the rescues can only guess....

 

[Oh Little Oji]

I had our daughter email me a few pics, since my phone seems to want to punish me.

Hmmmmm....Here is a photo of a friend's Mantle Dane....years ago.

 

[JanS]

He sure is a handsome boy! I would say there's quite a bit of Dane in there with a little Pit Bull?

 

[Two Dobes]

I was thinking bully too with that broad head....look forward to hearing what his DNA showed!

 

[Oh Little Oji]

Well, I won't keep you two or three in suspense any longer. I'll start by answering the question of what percentage Great Dane is in Cosmo.

Definitely looks more bully in this picture. So, what is he?!

 

[Ravenbird]

Late to the party. It's always fun to see what they are/aren't isn't it? The pictures you posted I'd have guessed Bully/Dane mix, but only because of size. He looked more Dane as the young puppy you posted earlier on.

 

[MyBuddy]

I definitely didn't think he was 100% Great Dane once I saw that picture.

He doesn't even look Dane. Some kind of bully for sure.

Yup... thats why I went 100% was based off of the first pic of the thread. Soon as I saw the recent picture my thoughts immediately changed but already guessed, oh well.

I'm guessing the shelter said "lab mix"...

But since you said he is a runner, imma guess some hound in him like this:

Breed Standards : Treeing Walker Coonhound | United Kennel Club (UKC)
