Hi! I'm Jonah. I'm new around here!

[RubyJeansMom]

BigPaw, I had a DNA test done on Ruby. It was the kit where you swab the cheek and mail it back for testing. I think the results I got were pretty accurate, they determined her main breed was Rottweiler. I know some of them come back with crazy results. The one done by the vet is probably a more accurate test. But it was fun waiting for and getting the results.

Jonah is such a beauty, I bet he's adorable chewing on his frozen washcloths...LOL!

I think he looks like he could have some Anatolian Shepherd in his mix.

He is adorable especially the picture with the chickens. I can see him wondering "what the heck kind of puppies those are" LOL

Especially since they are the same colour as he is!! He just needs a red bandanna on his head, and they'd be twins! LOL!

Seriously though, he's adorable. But, man! is he going to be big! A DNA test could be fun, as long as you take it with a grain of salt.

Hmmmm.....Anatolian shep. I've never heard of that....I'll have to look it up.....the shelter said a retriever mix.....I was thinking Golden with a little Malamute thrown in there....but they may just be my wishful thinking...he does however LOVE to dig holes....everywhere....but, what pup doesn't?! He also has a double dew claw on his back right leg...very cute...but I wonder if I should have it removed? I'll talk to the vet...it doesnt seem to bother him in any way....thanks for the wonderful comments. I'm gonna try and weigh him and then I'll let ya know where he's at right now....yes!! Big, big boy!! I love it!!!!

Here's a pic of an Anatolian Shepherd, and they do get BIG!

[BigPaw]

Oh wow!! I can definitely see some similarities...the color....the ears....this guy is beautiful!!

And I just weighed my boy....when I brough him home...he was 8 weeks old and weighed 9lbs. he is now 14 weeks old and weighs 35 lbs....amazing!!! I'm telling you .....over night!! lol

RJM...good call on the Anatolian Shepherd! I think you may have just uncovered Jonah's DNA.

ADORABLE!

Hey gang!! Just wanted to drop in with an update on my boy!! he is still growing like a weed. Jonah is now 5 months old, wider than my 9 year old black lab / st. bernard mix and possibly heavier as well. I can't pick him up any more to weigh him....lol...he's a beast and still growing. So, so loveable!! He loves to cuddle and when I hug him he makes this very deep, very adorable growling noise....so cute!! He loves the outdoors so much I could no longer keep him in. So purchased him a huge kennel so that he could be outside most of the time. I still bring him in but his heart is outside!! I couldn't possible break that outdoor spirit!! He loves it too much!! I'm gonna post some pics as soon as I get them resized. You'll be amazed at how he has grown!! I just love him so much!! His coat is super thick...his bark is getting so deep, though he doesn't use his voice much. He's a big ball of furry love.....

Jonah is beautiful. I love the dark patterning around his ears. He looks like such a charmer.

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

Jonah is really growing! He is as beautiful as ever. I can imagine him as a wonderful cuddler.
