These are 2 of my fosters, not related yet so very similar ..except for size. Ruger the big boy is 5 mths and Lucy is 3 mths.

And yet Rugers sister Charlotte looks like a completely different breed :D Charlotte is the big black and white girl. The JRT pup is 'Stan the man' ;)

Gorgeous pups, i had been wondering how the 'big un's' had been doing :( Have Charlotte and Ruger not found homes yet?

The 'big un's' are powering along, 6 months old last week. Charlotte and Ruger haven't been put up for adoption yet. I always planned to keep them till 5-6 months as it was thought their father could be a CAO in which case their rehoming needs would be quite different to the average large Xbreed boof. I hoped I would see some temperament or behavioral differences to confirm it but so far they are just lovely natured big boofa's.

Being so big I also wanted to ensure they got the correct diet for a giant breed and delay desexing as long as I could. They are just divine dogs, so lovely to have around. They have continued to grow beautifully at 1.5kg- 2kg per week. Last weigh in at approx 5 1/2mths they were 35kg & 36kg.

There is something very special about Ruger, for a 6mth old pup he is eerily in tune with whats going on around him. He is incredible with puppies, will play with them for ages so very gently, he is polite and respectful with new dogs coming in and so well behaved I can take him anywhere. He always draws people in, will sit calmly for a 2yr old to pat him and lie on an old lady's cold feet at football! Made her day lol

Since Sunday he has been helping a new foster called Harold who is terrified of people, I cant get near him. Ruger stayed with him outside in the cold, sat about 4 meters away and today Harold is following Ruger around :) Even into the house ;) Until he see's or hears a person and then he's out again :D but its a good start.

I dont want to go all spiritual but I feel Ruger has come to me for a purpose. Whether its just to help me with the fosters and promoting Rescue or maybe to become at Pets as Therapy dog for my local community?? I don't know :( But boy do I love him and his sister,perfect pooches!
