Hello,
I have never been on a forum before, I read through the rules but if I make a mistake please let me know.
My name is Emily and my dog's name is Loki. I got Loki last June (9 months ago) from an animal shelter in a nearby city. I had been looking for a boxer or a boxer mix who was about a year old (requirement of my Landlord) and I have always had "pound puppies" so I liked the idea of getting a dog from a shelter. After about two months of searching I saw Loki's picture and I just knew he was the one. I drove down to see him and as my step-dad said "it was over from the second they opened the door." I just adore him. He is my little sidekick and goes with me almost everywhere I can take him. He is about a year and a half old now (they think he was between 6-8 months old when I adopted him), and everything is just great.
The reason I am on the forum is because I am not sure of his exact breed. I think he definitely has a lot of boxer in him, the people at the shelter thought he might be a boxer/yellow lab mix, I have had people tell me that he is a pure boxer, and my sister thinks he is a boxer/pitbull mix. It doesn't really matter to me what he is, I will love him just the same. I just thought that if I knew which breed he is mixed with I could learn more about that breed, so that I am informed about potential health or behavioral problems in the future. He is a great dog and I want to keep him as happy and healthy as I can.
I posted several pictures of him in the gallery (under "LokiMonster") and I was hoping that some of you might be able to clue me in to what you think he might be mixed with, short of doggie DNA, I am not sure how else to figure it out. Thanks in advance! -Emily
