carrie Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 She's adorable, but definitely seems tiny at 7.8kilos for a dane puppy. Staghounds can be a combination of many things so maybe she'll be small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 it will definately be an enjoyable journey im just going to guess that she will grow to a similar size to my other girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaS Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 akasha's mum was tan, and her dad was a black pure dane... i've asked about the heritage of her, and there is nothing that mentions rottie which i was suprised about too.souki is the first puppy i've had, and when she was driven down here, i thought it was ok to take puppies from the min age of 6 weeks, but ive read a lot on here that it is recommended to take them around min of 8 weeks. It's amazing how much Akasha looks like a rotty- SO much. So similar and Gorgeous Your pup looks adorable.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 If bonny is her real mother then she's nowhere near a full french mastiff ... definately bordeaux x rottweiler x something else Dogue de Bordeauxs look like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I get so annoyed when people start saying x breeds are healther and live longer then purebreds, where is the data for all these healthly cross breds?? Well, there is data for the reverse. Research in Denmark, covering thousands of pure breeds & cross-breeds, found that a bunch of pure breeds came out tops for longevity. Poodles & dachshunds were among that bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, the life span of any dog is dependent on the breed, the breeder and the care of the owner. Plus pure breeds are often cared for better then crosses. If you look after your dog well regardless of it's breed you can be pretty much ensured that your dog and friend will live a long, healthy and happy life.

Nekhbet Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah boof tried to fit a whole toy poodle in his mouth when he was a young tacker and spat out a little wooly ball of fury with a confused look on his face like 'oh so thats not a toy' Dogues are not #1 for intelligence all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
