Not a cockapoo...but asking opinions on dog

[lady amanda]

Hi Everyone,

Last night my friend was at her grandmothers, and the next door neighbor had heard crying from a puppy, they went outside and wandering in their completely fenced in yard was this puppy. There was no way he wasn't just abandoned.
He was also completely covered in fleas.

So I have some questions
1) what kind of dog do you think that he is?
2) how old do you think that he is?

Thanks!

could be a collie cross.

[lady amanda]

yah that is what I was thinking....poor little guy...I don't know why anyone would just leave a dog in someone elses back yard

[JoJo]

Ahh look at his cute little nose ...

No idea of the breed.. but Kendal see lots of dogs so with go with a Collie Cross.

he looks young and cute ... 3 months maybe

Where is he now ?

[lady amanda]

My friend brought him home....they are going to keep him as long as no one reports him as missing.

I'd be inclined to agree with Kendal and say a collie type puppy. It doesn't look very old, a couple of months maybe? Very cute and how could someone just abandon a puppy. x

[lady amanda]

I know! and aparently he is very well behaved for his age....he slept all night till 9 am no accidents and not in a crate as they were obviously not prepared to be having a puppy. he was good in the bath too...but the poor boy was covered in fleas.

Does your friend have dogs already? That's lovely that they are going to keep him.

He looks quite a relaxed puppy given that he'd been abandoned.

[JoJo]

That is so lovely of your friend.... he is very cute .. maybe it was just meant to be ... a play mate for Lady too :)

I am shocked someone would just leave a puppy like that ...

Wow thats good. he must have needed his sleep to sleep that well. You'll have to keep us posted on him.

[JoJo]

Please keep us posted Amanda.. if your friend does end up keeping him .. a pic of Lady and him would be nice :)

Poor little pup .. covered in fleas...

He's good sleeper then, that confirms he's not a cockapoo puppy ..

[kendal]

only saying collie cross because he looks like a friends dog Alfie http://www.photography-services.co.uk/blog/alfie-the-collie-gets-a-photoshoot/


but at the kennels we have a pappion that is the double of my friends dog alfie but smaller than him but bigger than and pappion i know.

[lady amanda]

HAHAHAH!!! yes you are right, Lady sure won't sleep in....lol this guys slept till 9am!!
I am lucky if I can stretch lady till 7:45....if she does keep him I for sure will get a pic of them together...once his fleas are all gone ;)

[lady amanda]

Kendal! yah I would say u are probably right!!! wow great pic of that dog!

[JoJo]

Oh yes wait for him to be clear of fleas .. you dont want lady with fleas ...

Great Pic Kendal..

Have they got a name of him or are they trying not to get too attached just in case an owner turns up .... not that the owner deserves him, covered in fleas and in someone elses yard.. not exactly good owners ...

[lady amanda]

They named him, and are already quite attached....tho their 3 cats are not such big fans of him...lol....they have named him Max....they bought him food and flea treatments last night...but litterally have nothing else for him....not even a leash....which he doesn't seem to need as he is already attached too, and won't stray farther than 3 feet. poor little guy.

JRT x Pappion
JRT X Chi

Or maybe some collie cross as others as said .

[doodlebug]

My 1st thought was he looked like he'd got papillon in him:D

He is very sweet, I'm glad hes safe now.

[wellerfeller]

looks like he has some spaniel in there too x

[wilfiboy]

Has he a name yet?? Glad he ended you in your neighbours yard and that she's keeping him. He looks like he still has a baldy belly... ickle boy x

[lady amanda]

His name is Max

[mandym]

yes id say papillon cross but pics are decieving and he does have collie colouring and markings so he could be a small collie cross,he is gorgeous and so lucky to have been found by someone so lovely xxx

[lady amanda]

well I just met Max in Person.....and well max is not max!!! it's a girl!!! in all the hussel of getting her at 1am making sure she had food....and then waking up this morning they just took the person who found her's word that it was a boy,,,,,so when I was giving her a tummy rub, i burst out laughing and said well....I guess you will have to re-name your pup!
hahah she is a very sweet and affectionate little girl!

Maxie??? How old did you think she was from seeing her??

[lady amanda]

I am sure she is only 9-11 weeks old tops, the poor thing, but she was good and chunky in her tummy not too skinny at all..she did have alot of bites on her body, but her ears were clear, her teeth were all there, none had fallen out yet. she had a perfect temperament. It is unbelievable that someone would just abandon a little girl like that. Her eyes were nice and clear and free of gunk...now I am not a vet or an expert by any means but i would say other than the fleas she was in perfect health...they said she was very dirty when they got her too.

[lady amanda]

lol I said Maxie, Moxie, or Roxie...lol....they haven't decided yet.

[JoJo]

That is so funny .. Max with girly bits .... yep Maxine :)

Got me giggling ..only 9-11 weeks old ahhhh love her

[lady amanda]

LOL I know! hahah we all had a good laugh...she is very sweet, her tummy is quite bald...a real sweetie....she made like purring noises when she got belly rubs

[JoJo]

Is she a cat ? lol

That will be the next post.. oh no we have noticed she is a cat ... no that would be funny ... sorry I have a silly head on ....

I think your friend has a lovely new puppy, who will be loved xxx a wonderful ending ... terrible start in life for little Max/Maxine but she is in a good place now ....

[lady amanda]

LOL!!! hahahah Jojo hillarious!!!!

Don't pups get a big belly if they have worms? Maybe they should get her treated just in case?

Lovely pup bless her, glad she found someone quickly :)
