#brindle lab mix

[wanderingsoulfinder]

Happy third birthday to the only male who is ever going to matter in my life! You were the reason I got out of bed more times than I care to admit, the reason I went to work most days, so you could get the life you deserved. Happy birthday to my Snuggly, dramatic, sweet upper and I hope you never change. You're always there to bring a smile to my face exactly when I need it (and sometimes when I don't). Happy birthday, Cupid!

I based it more on the characters' looks, but their personalities also match in my opinion.

if you want you can make requests for other RE characters as dogs!

I took 2 weeks to finish this list :,)

[grison-in-space]

So I'm not sure if this is one of the dog questions on the list (it's too long for my brain to stick with T_T) but I would like to hear about your first dog that was *yours*. The first one you chose for yourself, rather than just a family dog or a partner's dog or what have you. Rescues you chose to take on/keep count as much as ones you bought!

Oh, that's Tribble, of course. My best girl, who's been with me ten years. My good, good leap of faith. (Questions mentioned from the Dogblr ask meme).

In the spring of 2012, I was finishing my senior year of college, interviewing at graduate school programs and coming to terms with the fact that I would be earning a salary and financially completely independent from my parents for the foreseeable future. I was going to be able to get a dog that I was going to be able to do sports with.

(At the time I was living with my family's dog Oliver, whom I generally described as a Corgi rolled in lint and who had already had one knee replaced. Around that time, he tried to hop up onto a curb and tripped over his own feet and fell on his face. I was not about to subject his knees to high impact exercise.)

I had been yearning to play agility for years and never been able to. I could get whatever dog I wanted, as long as I could find it under 35lbs (the upper weight limit for dogs in most of the apartments I was looking at) and it was within plausible deniability Not A Pit Bull.

I was full of daydreams. I was looking speculatively at Whippets and Manchester Terriers and Rat Terriers and Shelties, but I knew full well that I could identify a pretty good sport prospect from rescue, too... and I was gonna be broke for a While. But I was also keenly aware that I was about to go straight from college to being a first year PhD student halfway across the country, an endeavor of unknowable difficulty and struggle. It was clearly the sort of thing I should ease into slowly. Obviously I shouldn't actually get a new dog until I had moved and been in my program for six months or so.

But I was so, so excited, and dogshopping was a much less intimidating prospect than making decisions about things like what lab I would work in and where in the country I should live. Also I was in the process of shedding most of my local friend group in the wash of dissolving one of those hideously intense weird friendships that are so common for queer college kids, and a big chunk of the rest of my in person social life required facing down what was, in retrospect, a nasty case of PTSD fear response around other openly queer people derived from immersing myself in baaaaaasically all the online asexuality dialogue that existed in 2012.* It's not like I couldn't use the distraction.

So I made myself a bargain. I would make an extremely detailed list of traits I wanted in a dog ranging from the practical (size, height, ability to rent with, trainable, good structure for speed, jumping, and fast turns) to the slightly ridiculous and purely aesthetic (pointy ears; brindle or tri; no curly tails; short hair). I would restrict myself to perusing the website run by volunteers trying to make the local county animal control as low-kill as possible, which was a feat since the county animal control had ten kennels and a guaranteed three-day stray hold, plus a seven-day opening for dogs to get adopted through. I figured that the fast turnover, plus my own innate tendency to dither, would keep me from actually adopting a dog until I was safely installed in my new job and my new life.

This worked very well right up until the Monday of my last finals week, when the shelter website posted a dog named "Pockets" that checked literally all of my boxes, at least from what I could see from a still photo. She was perfect. And she was listed as a cattle dog mix, which was great: I couldn't see any evidence of a drop of cattle dog in that dog, but there was my plausible deniability for landlords. Goddammit. At least, I told myself, someone else would pick her up and everything would be fine; she'd be adopted by someone else and I could tell myself it just wasn't meant to be.

Then on Tuesday the "DANGER: DANGER" alarm went off on her listing. (It later turned out that she'd been brought in after having maybe? unclear? been cornered and perhaps? bitten a child or something? and her rabies hold had eaten all of her grace time.) Fuck. Fuck! It is perhaps worth noting that that shelter's euthanasia date was Wednesday, so if she was out of time, there really wasn't any time to sort things out.

I panicked--this looked like such a great dog--and made the mistake of asking my roommate if she'd mind if we added what was then a third dog to our three-person household for the remainder of the lease. There was a great mad scramble to make sure I could legally take her in and the landlord was okay with it: I decided that even if she wasn't a great fit for me, I could always rehome her myself later. I put in an application in early on Wednesday morning, then showed up first thing on Thursday before my very last final to meet this dog I had theoretically applied to adopt. She was clearly pretty overwhelmed, but her structure was gorgeous, she was friendly and politely interested in the dogs whose kennels we walked by, and she was capable of listening to me and paying attention. So.... fuck it, I thought, and updated my application to confirm the application.

I picked her up from her spay that Saturday--that shelter didn't, at the time, bother to spay or neuter the dogs until it was confirmed someone actually wanted them--and brought her home, where she promptly stretched her legs, looked around, and found herself a quiet place to pee that didn't (to her) seem to be very used. It happened to be where we kept the router, which is how I discovered that she was not house trained. She learned fast, though--that was the last accident I think she ever had that wasn't a matter of illness--and she soaked up all the training I could throw at her with enthusiasm pretty much immediately. You can actually see me posting my excitement with an earlier account when I adopted her.

Fuck, that was a good impulse decision. She's an amazing dog and we've learned so much together. I love her so much.

She's my buddy, and we've been through a lot together. I love her so, so much.

*no one I ever met at my college LGBTQ group was anything less than polite and kind to me, by my standards of the time: I was generally faced with a desire to understand one another well enough to act in solidarity. I'm still very fond of the people I met there and follow the careers of quite a few. But immersing myself into the online reactions took a toll, one that would have me grappling with regular panic attacks for a few years more.

Seedling, Chicken, Cat!!!

🌱 Seedling: What is something you want to begin learning?

Sims-wise I'd love to learn to mesh stuff. I have a lot of ideas for CC that simply doesn't exist that i'd like to see. Out of game though, I'd like to learn to use a sewing machine or to crotchet or knit. I've tried all 3, but didn't keep up with them. I'm afraid of losing control of sewing machines, and my knitting and crocheting was always too tight and I couldn't do it looser, but I'd like to try again!

🐓 Chicken: What is a comfort movie/show for you?

Oh gosh, I don't really have any comfort shows/movies, because I don't like rewatching something over and over in quick succession. I do, however, have comfort YouTubers xD like liziqi, annika's leaf and infinitedrift.

🐈 Cat: Do you have any pets? Are there some pets you really want?

I specifically have a Rabbit. He's about 7 years old, has lived through things that would normally cause a rabbit to pass from fright, and generally smells bad. I call him my little trash man. He was given to me after a previous rabbit passed. His name is Barnabus, but also Bun-Bun. The household has 2 dogs and a cat. The cat is a farm cat who is afraid of the big dog so he doesn't come inside, his name is Rusty and he's a orange cat with all the energy that entails. The dogs are Maddison, a Frenchie/Black Lab mix. We don't trust her with kids, but she's very sweet otherwise, and Elmo, who is new - he's about 3 months old, not sure what he is yet, but he has the brown and black brindle so there could be Staffy in him.

"Never interacted but they seem cool"

We can fix that!

*spins mental random conversation topic wheel*

Please tell me about a time you befriended a dog?

My most recent dog befriending adventure/encounter was me walking along the road, looking for plants or animals to observe and a lady walking her lab-mix-type dog on a leash was approaching from the opposite direction. I stopped and asked, "Is your dog friendly?" She replied, "Yes but she's really shy of new people so she probably won't..." *the dog approaches, sniffs my hand once and continues walking* "want to... Okay!" The lady was pleased; I was pleased. The dog kept on its merry way.

Yay, hi! Excellent topic from the topic wheel.

I will take absolutely any opportunity I can to befriend any dog (famously to a fault as a child, would not be scared of dogs even if they were trying to bite my face off). Any walk I go on I'll let anyone introduce their dog to me.

Best recent dog befriending was Ruby (a gorgeous brindle pitbull). My sister and her friends moved halfway up the country and I unexpectedly got put on dog duty for the seven hour roadtrip. She barely knew me, had never been in a car for a long trip and it was just me and her without her owner. She coped amazingly and decided afterwards that I was her second 'person' (directly after her owner)

[ymcr]

i know i’ve been complaining a lot lately, but a good thing from work yesterday afternoon:

so far i’ve just been doing “easy“ adoptions solo (bunnies, gpigs, budgies, kittens), and had only shadowed people for dogs, but yesterday i got to work with one of my favorite coworkers on a dog matchmaking appt and she had me conduct the initial interview with the family, and then afterwards she took over the conversation to do the counseling portion (since i haven’t worked 1 on 1 with enough of the dogs yet to be able to give in-depth recs). the puppy they ended up going home with was a little brindle-y lab mix named eileen (which incidentally was my mum’s name—funny bc they could not have been any more different: this dog is a very quiet and sensitive soul, which my mum was...not. she would have gotten a kick out of that if they had met). the adopters were great and the dog was literally the most perfect puppy you could imagine—if i didn’t already have a dog i would want her for myself lol. the whole process was very wholesome and satisfying and reminded me why i wanted this job in the first place. hopefully now that i am gradually working up the ladder of the responsibility it will mean more things like that making up my day, and not so much running around cleaning kennels and becoming drenched in sweat first thing in the fucking morning. lmao.

Mastador - 12 Amazing Things About Mastiff Lab Mix

Mastador is considered as one of the best hybrid dog to own. He is naturally affectionate and loyal to his master. Furthermore, Mastadors are very mild-mannered and show minimal to no aggression unless they are protecting their master.Mastadors are low maintenance dogs that will thrive in any environment. They are happy to cohabit with you in your town apartment or chase after the kid’s kite in your country house.Mastadors grow to be large, strong dogs with much energy. Moreover, you will need all the power you can master to contain him.

1) Mastador = Bullmastiff + Labrador retriever

His exact origin is not well known though word has it that the first Mastador cross-breed was discovered in the United States.What we know for sure is that his parents are of English (Bullmastiff) and Canadian (Labrador retriever) descent.Mastador puppies were crossbred for the main reason of producing loyal family dogs. Being a descendant of the Bullmastiff, a Mastador puppy will turn out to be loyal, brave, hardworking, and very protective.On the other hand, he will also be fun loving, outgoing, and full of mischief like his parent the Labrador.

2) Mastador puppies eventually grow into large family dogs.

So if you intend to own a Lab-mastiff pup, be ready for his excessive energy when he is an adult.Moreover, being a humongous dog, he will need a lot of your attention to maintain his good health and temperament.Mastador coat is generally short and smooth. He will also spot a mini Mohawk on his spine as the hairs on his back tend to grow backward.The color of his coat will depend on the parent, but generally, it should be red, fawn, red/brindle, fawn/brindle, or red-fawn-brindle. He will also spot white patches on his paws and underbelly.One thing the He is adored for is his droopy face with floppy jowls. He also spots dark, doleful eyes that will win you over.He always wears a calm look, but when you bring out the Frisbee, his goofy Labrador grin is instantly activated.

3) Height and Weight

Mastador’s height and weight is greatly influenced by the dominant parent gene. If he takes after the Bullmastiff, his height will be somewhere between 24 and 27 inches from the shoulder.He will also be large and heavy weighing up to 200 pounds when fully mature. On the other hand, A Mastador pup that takes after the Labrador will average height of 22 inches from the shoulder.His weight will also be between 100 to 150 pounds as a mature dog. Height and weight can also be influenced by diet as well as exercise.Bear in mind that Mastadors are passionate eaters, especially if the Labrador gene is dominant. So it is advisable that you always watch what goes into his mouth.

4) Mastador lifespan of 10 to 15 years.

Bullmastiffs have a lifespan of 8 to 15 years. On the other hand, Labrador retrievers have a lifespan of 10 to 14 years.So you can expect your Mastador pup to give you 10 to 15 years of pure joy and loyalty. If you have him on a high-quality diet and plenty of exercises, he could outlive this timeframe.

5) Personality of Mastador

Despite his towering body, Mastador is a mellow and extremely charming fellow. He is naturally gentle and very affectionate towards his owner.Moreover, Mastador dogs are very active, playful and always looking for the opportunity to engage in family fun. He is the perfect dog to own if you have kids around or other pets.Mastador dogs will love any family member including the mischievous cat that loves to play with his tail.It is this deep love for his people that also makes him quite protective. Mastiff Lab Mix dogs get fierce when they perceive a threat or danger.His deep haunting bark is enough to scare any lurking intruder. This is why Mastadors make great family and guard dogs.As long as he knows his family is safe, he will always wear his calm, relaxed look. He is happy to watch your little toddler as you go about your daily house chores. He will also join you on your daily morning runs in case you need a workout buddy.

6) Mastadors are generally very intelligent dogs

As descendants of the Bullmastiff, Mastadors are generally brilliant dogs. In ancient times, Bullmastiffs were known for their intelligence and made great guard dogs.They were also used as war dogs by Asian empires to warn of impending danger or help infiltrate enemy lines.In England, Bullmastiffs were considered noble dogs that guarded royal estates. Moreover, they were also used as hunting dogs to track and hunt down game such as bears or wild boars.In Canada, Labrador retrievers were used by fishermen to bring in lines of hook or fish. When they migrated to the USA, Labradors found new roles in law enforcement.They were trained to make a great army and police dogs. So owning a Lab-mastiff breed means you have one of the most intelligent dogs on earth.With the wittiness of the Bullmastiff and the mental alertness of the Labrador, be assured that your home will always be safe from intrusion.

7) Training is really fun

Mastador is one of the easiest and fun dogs to train. He is perfect for anyone who wishes to own a dog that does not require much concerning training.Mastadors are eager to please their masters, and their natural intelligence helps them grasp things faster.Since he is half a Labrador, he can withstand any rigorous training. This is why he makes a great cadet after all.Mastiff Lab Mixes respond well to behavioral training; therefore, it should not take long for him to grasp the house rules.It is the other half, the Bullmastiff side, which you need to be cautious about during training. Your Mastador will always exude confidence, stamina, and masculinity just like his Mastiff parent.So you need to show him that you are the boss or else he will take matters into his hands. Since he is naturally protective, you need to socialize him with people, new sites, and smell when he is a puppy.Doing so will help him grow into a well-adjusted, confident, and non-aggressive dog.

8) Mastador dogs are very active and full of life.

They need to be exercised daily to help them expel their pent-up energy. However, unlike toy breeds, lack of exercise won’t make him restless or aggressive.He will withdraw to his natural docile state, which is not good for him. He needs plenty of play to keep his male body strong and healthy.Also, bear in mind that he will be huge and strong when he grows up. If you will be taking him out for walks, he needs someone who is strong enough to restrain him on a leash.Otherwise, he will drag you across a field when he chases after a jackrabbit. Fortunately, Mastador dogs are never demanding when it comes to finding quality time and place to play.They will have a great time whether it is in the outdoors or indoors. If you do not have time to go out, your Mastador will be happy to play with you in the confinement of your home.You will grow to appreciate this about them especially during winter when they find the weather too chilly for their paws and coats.

9) Mastadors dogs also do well on a raw food dog diet.

A Mastador’s diet is not very demanding although he can work up an appetite like his Labrador parent. Meals should be divided into two or three portions a day with doggy treats in between.Ensure you always control his meal portions to prevent your Mastiff Lab Mix from overfeeding himself. About 2.5 to 3 cups of quality dry food are enough to nourish his enormous body.Ensure that you buy pet food that is designed solely for large breeds of dogs. Occasionally, he will not mind joining you at the table for dessert.However be mindful of his dental health when indulging his sweet tooth. Mastadors dogs also do well on a raw food dog diet.Just make sure that his daily raw food is rich in calcium and phosphates to help him build strong bones.His plate should also contain plenty of lean meat to serve him his daily portion of proteins. Never feed your Mastiff Lab Mix a high calorie or fat diet; it will make him unhealthy and sloppy.

10) He is low-maintenance Dog

One more thing you will love about the Mastador is that he is low-maintenance regarding grooming. Mastador dogs are born with a natural silky coat that only requires moderate brushing.However, his coat is not hypoallergenic there you will need to vacuum your carpet and seats occasionally.Bathing time can also be much work given his size. However, he does not mind a playful splash with the hose as you wash your car on the weekends.Alternatively, take him to the beach with you for a swim. This should be enough to keep his coat clean and free off pet dander.The only major concern about his hygiene is his ears. Mastiff Lab Mix’s droopy ears are prone to wax build up and infections.Make a point of regularly cleaning his ears to prevent infections. While at it, don’t forget to brush his teeth too. Teeth brushing should be done at least thrice a week for better oral hygiene.

11) Health Problems

There has always been a debate about whether hybrid dogs inherit the same health issues as both their parents.Some dog-breeders do believe that hybrid puppies have a better ability to fight diseases than their purebred parents.Nevertheless, the only way to know for sure is by asking the breeder if the parents to your Mastador had health issues.Generally, Mastador dogs are prone to ear infections if not cleaned properly. Moreover, lack of frequent teeth cleaning may expose your Mastiff Lab Mix to gum infections.His coat is also likely to develop a funky smell due to a buildup of pet dander. Skin infections are also rampant if the Mastador’s coat is not regularly cleaned.As he grows older, your Matador pooch might develop hip dysplasia. However, this should not be a worry if you are correctly exercising and feeding him the right diet.Mastadors are also predisposed to heart issues when they are old. Nevertheless, with proper nutrition, that is free of excess fat and calories, he should be able to maintain a healthy heart even in old age.

I’m Mads!

My idiot is the brindle APBT mix (Booker) and we live with my parent’s black lab puppy (Storm). My username comes from the fact that our dogs keep needing metal installed in their bodies to fix orthopedic problems like broken bones (Angel [rip], Storm) and terribly dysplastic hips (Booker).

I have been noticing some newer dogblrs lately. Reblog this post if you are a dogblr so we can all follow each other!

The difference, I would say, between tan point and silver is that tan point is an acknowledged off color that the lab club recognizes can appear and still be purebred, while digging in their heels that silver is always mixed breed. If it was as simple as that, it could easily be handwaved away as something similar to tan point or brindle point. Instead, the lab club is adamant that silver and other dilutes are not possible within the breed without mixing, which is where the contention lies. Tan points and brindle points are well documented throughout breed history, but dilutes are not, and that's where the problem lies.

Unfortunately we're talking about a color that seems to have appeared in the 60s and 70s, long before any genetic breed testing existed, so there is genuinely no way to tell if this was a random mutation, a color that happened to not appear for several decades due to systemic culling, or mixing breeds because all of these dogs are going to test as purebred at this point.

Do you have an opinion on whether or not silver labrador retrievers are actually purebred labs? I know they’re not allowed to be show dogs due to their color, but some of the things I’ve read about the controversy of silver labs, particularly on the labrador retriever club’s website, sound really aggressive (and tbh rude) in their opinion that silver labs aren’t real labs.

Purebred? Probably not.

So my problem is twofold. The first is that of all the off colors, dilute is not one that has historically existed within the breed once true to type. This means unless a random mutation happened- which CAN happen (see albino dobes and panda GSDs)- it's not possible for purebred labs to be or carry dilute.

The other problem I have is that once you breed back to type for three or more generations, most dog breed genetics tests will test that dog as purebred. We see this happening in other impossible-to-be-pure colors, such as merle poodles and bulldogs. So pointing to an embark or other test that says purebred is less "proof" at this point because most of these dogs are so far from what would have been the original cross that they will test as functionally purebred even if they are not technically by dog breed standards.

This is the lab club's page on silver labs and does not seem rude or aggressive to me? They are of the opinion that these are mixed breed dogs due to the same thing I just said- historically labs have never been dilute once they were officially labs. As a result, it's genuinely not possible outside of random mutation or cross breeding to have dilute in the breed. This means that cross breeding would have to happen as the most likely source, and also that is easily explained when examining the origins of the silver lab.

This is actually pretty verbatim for the merle chihuahua, which is thought to have come from mixing with merle-possible breeds relatively recently or, at the very least, well after the breed was established as purebred. The major difference is that the members of the chihuahua club held a vote on whether to accept merle chihuahuas as purebred and the answer was "no good dog is a bad color", so they were allowed within breed standard. Noteably, chihuahuas are capable of producing all colors, with no restrictions outside of ensuring good pigment, compared to labs which are possible in more than just red, chocolate, and black but are restricted to just those three.

[sidetongue]

On the side of ‘no more homeless brindle babies’ my home town (isolated, small) had an absolute wealth of big brown, blue eyed husky lab mixes because there were just a lot of chocolate labs in my town already and then one person had an unfixed husky that would get loose. I mean, multiple people are at fault to a certain degree, if everyone fixed their dogs or at the very least kept a closer eye on them, this wouldn’t have happened. That said, Thor was the biggest, dumbest puppy I ever did have the pleasure of knowing. (I know you don’t need convincing, just wanted to share)

Oh they actually sound so beautiful!! But very naughty I bet!
