Question about my pup?

  • my pup has REALLY bad gas and the stench is unbearable. i would like to know if there's some food out there that i can feed her without having the gas come out so bad!

    also, do any of you know what breed she might be? when we found her we thought she was an American Pit Bull Terrier. then as she got older we thought she was a pure Great Dane. then we thought she was a Labrador Retriever/American Pit Bull Terrier because many people were telling us she looked like that. then she grew some more and her legs got SO long so we thought she might've been a Labradane. and now, we just dont know what to think she is anymore.

    here are some recent pics of her:

    here are some pics of her when she was younger (approximately 1 month after we found her)

    and if this helps in any way, her bark is very deep, and loud for a pup her age (which is about 4 months old).

    shes very tall, probably almost 2 feet off the ground when shes on all fours. and when shes up on her hind legs her head reaches my waist.

    shes very doofy-like, and has really long legs.

    any help is greatly appreciated. and try to answer both of my questions instead of focusing on the picture question.

    thanks again!!

    :]


  • I see a lot of lab ( her face )
    I see her long legs.. I don't see any pit bull at all.
    Purebred labs are very big dogs but she's too thin ( as in her body shape ) to be a purebred
    She is a mix for sure with lab

    I don't think she mixed with a dane because a purebred lab and a purebred dane would make a huge dog lol

    However, she could be a lab/dane because if she's that big at only 4 months old.

    Whatever the case-- she's adorable!

    God bless you!


  • I agree with the last poster's answer regarding the raw. It's great and shouldn't be expensive. I mean it could, but if you get a freezer with some space it ends up being insanely cheap to do.

    If raw doesn't work for you, or you're just so ingrained (as most are) with all that crazy superstitious stuff everyone spreads around about raw, then I would recommend a corn-free and grain-free diet. Some brands you could check out are Natura's Evo, Canine Caviar, Orijen, Taste of the Wild, Fromm Grain Free, B.G. (Before Grain), Instinct, Wellness Core, Natural Balance (Dick Van Patten's), and there are several more brands available, depending on where you live. You won't be able to find most of those brands in giant pet food retailers, because they'd have to make their ingredients really crappy to be able to afford giving MONSTER discounts to Petco and Petsmart, so that those stores could then mark the prices back up.

    I can't believe the first answer. Ridiculous! If you can find it in the grocery store's pet food section, your dog won't benefit from it = One good rule of thumb for a healthy pet.

    Your dog looks like a pit/lab to me. She may be so darned mixed that nobody will ever guess her breed right. If anyone asks her what she is, smile and say, "A dog". Lol.

    Best of health to you and your pets!


  • American Pit Bull Terrier / Black Lab


  • idk what food to reccomend, because some dogs react differently to each. what i can tell you is to STAY AWAY from "meet by products" or "beef by products"... these dog foods are made from animal left overs.. meaning lots of diseased tissue, pus, hair, assorted slaughterhouse rejedts, and carcasses in varying stages of decomposition, that have been sterilized with chemicals, heat and pressure procedures.... the government allows pet food manufactures to obtain most of their meat or beef by products from the industry-lables "4-D" animals- which means they are Dead, Dying, Diseased and Disabled... you dont want your dog eating these foods... stay away from iams also.. its bad enough the things they do to animals in their "studies" but they have actually released food that knowingly made thier test pets get sick and die.. and a lot of pets died from it..
    the best way to find which food will make her less gassy is from trial and error. =/ good luck with that =D

    about her breed.. her build looks a lot like a lab.. but her face has a pit bull look to it.. maybe she has bits of both of those breeds


  • If you can afford it, try a raw diet. There are lots of good websites about feeding raw. Much better for them and natural, what a carnivore should eat.

    I think she is lab/dane mix. I don't see any bully breeding in there at all. Or maybe some greyhound in there too with those long gangly legs. But at that age pups look gangly. So my guess is lab/dane maybe greyhound.


  • With her height it's very possible she has dane in her veins :). Greyhound may also be a possibility. I'd say one of those two with perhaps lab or pit is a pretty good 'guesstimate.'

    Almost forgot! The first thing I'd try with her food is giving her something with no corn products at all. There are a lot of good corn -free foods on the market now. If that doesn't work, google some of the great dog food websites avialable that compare ingredients and list potential problems some of them may cause.
