stef_83 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Cross kelpie AHAHHAA Why cause he has a bit of tan on him?Looks like an am staff to me:) Did you take him in when he wandered onto your property? How lovely of you! Does he have marks on his nose from an attempted escape or...? yes bully seemed to think he lived here and constantly got out i only got ranger to take him because he couldnt stay here and i left a note on his owners place to say he was here but a week later note still on front door untouched so i called the ranger and took the note off 3 days later they came to see if he was here. and yes she did say from the tan. also marks on his nose and his eye are from escaping. he had the most beautiful nature i lifted his head out of his food bowl (not always a smart thing) to clean his eye. the ranger was a real **** . she jerked his neck with the lead and started screaming at him when she had him out the front because he stood up when another dog went past. she also told me i should be charged for theft because i let him stay her for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Looks pure bred Amstaff to me. You can get tri-colour in the breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie_a1 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Ranger sounds like a keeper (NOT!) Tell the power hungry ranger to relax. Charged with theft HA. I would prefer you keep my dog (had he escaped) at your place in a relaxed environment then he be waiting a week in a pound environment. Don't listen to the wench, I think you did a good job! Bully is a gorgeous boy though! How did your pups get along with him?! Tell the ranger to do some reading on dog breeds. Cross kelpie Still laughing about that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackie_a1 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 *melts* OH LAWD!!! DOBE CROSS SHEPARD *tears in eyes* How gorgeous! No wonder he tries to escape look at the company he has. Is he the only dog at home? Maybe that's why he keeps escaping to your yard! Have you spoken to his owners frequently and do they live near you? Is this the first time he's come over? Pictures are to die for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayly Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Looks pure AmStaff to me, like others said you can get tri colours but I don't think you are allowed to show them. Gorgeous looking boy. What a dipsh*t ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_83 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) he lived with a mutt breed pup. they ived near me but the home was sold and they have left with no forwarding details. i have had a few conversations with his female owner but hot the impression that bully was only a panis extension for his male owner. bully was under weight the first time he came here so i think he kept coming back for food. but his female puppy friend was very thin so rspca took her. edited to add saffron has a bell because she had a thing for chasing and killing birds. in case ppl were wondering Edited May 17, 2010 by stef_83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW!! http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=196172) She's an Amstaff. Good on you for taking her in Oh, and your Dobe x Shepherd looks remarkably like a pure bred Rottie Hmmmm... time the councils started employing rangers with at least some basic knowledge of dogs...!

ILK Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I would have said kelpie x :D how ridiculous. What a gorgeous looking dog. There are soooo many dogs I would love to have if I could keep them all and that is definately one of them. Love the photos You are so understanding and kind for taking in a strange dog.

zayda_asher Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Looks pure AmStaff to me, like others said you can get tri colours but I don't think you are allowed to show them. Actually, you can show them You might not do any good, but you can. We have no disqualifying faults. Tri colours are listed as "not to be encouraged", not as a DQ. In fact one of the Tri colours listed on that photo page belonged to ToTheMax kennels and, I believe, did quite well in the ring. ETA: I'd put in a formal complaint about that ranger's behaviour Edited May 18, 2010 by zayda_asher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
