Emma, our rambunctious mutt puppy, came to us via a local shelter. She's an unspecified hound/bully breed mix -- we're guessing Rhodesian ridgeback mixed with boxer, bull mastiff, or pit bull, but we don't know for sure. She's growing like a weed, so she'll be a big girl. Emma's favorite things include anything peanut butter-flavored, meeting new people, chasing her blue and white tennis ball, and dragging her blue stuffed octopus toy around with her wherever she goes.
emma is a beauty and seems to like where her life has taken her! cool that you got her from the local shelter - she looks like she has lots of personality, is very loyal and loves her owners! many happy days with emma - lots of kisses and biscuits for emma!
Adorable! Beautiful eyes too. I am all about shelter babies:) BUT PLEASE LOOSEN HER COLLAR! It looks way too tight.
Emma is a beautiful girl, I love her gorgeous copper coat and her dark intelligent eyes. She looks such a happy and playful pup and I would love to give her a huge kiss and cuddle. Many happy years and 12+++ bones xxx

Yaaahhh!!! A rescued puppy!!! They always turn out to be the best!!! Emma is absolutely adorable and seeing her pictures has just brightened my day!! Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you continue to enjoy this gal!! I could just eat her up!!
Just look at that face!!! She's so cute, trying to sit still for a moment. You can see that she's eager to please, but we all know that's so hard for a rambunctious girl. Many happy years with your beautiful baby.
What a cute dog and she seems to have a personality to match. Enjoy her. She looks like she might have some lab, pit bull and even beagle there somewhere. Whatever she is she's very cute and your pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Emma what a wonderful picture , A happy baby. God bless you for giving Emma a home with alot of love. Lots and lots of biscuits and belly rubs
Emma looks like the picture of contentment! What more can a family ask for? May you have many happy years to love each other.
Whatever her heritage, Emma looks and sounds like a real sweetheart! Thank you for rescuing her! (I love those big feet!)
I'd say there's definitely some Boxer in this baby's lineage. She's a beauty. Mutt adoption is the way to go!!
Miss Emma....you may be a big puppy but you are like a child with your stick. You are very cute and no matter what mix of breed you are, I think you are soooooo lucky and verrrrrry cute!!! :)
doglover903, I assure you that we check Emma's collar daily to make sure it's fitting her growing body appropriately. What you're seeing is all the loose skin this big girl has yet to grow into. :) Thank you all for your wonderful comments!
Emma is a total delight! We have 3 rescues of mixed sizes and decided to learn a little about their parents to know what to expect in the future. We had great (and matching) results with both Wisdom Panel and Canine Heritage DNA tests. Our vet uses them to plan and assist with their health treatments. Have a great life with Emma.
Hi there Emma's parents - not to worry - my Bullmastiff X has loose skin by the pound - when he stands up, it all goes away and the collar is fine - as I am sure so is yours. Emma is a lovely girl - cute chunky puppy feet and all. Beautiful color as well - many happy years together :-)
Finally! a rescue dog... thanks for saving Emma... you'll never be sorry you took her in! Who cares what she is mixed with? She is adorable and she is safe!
Emma is a real beauty! - and I am SO glad you got her from the shelter. Her coloring is especially beautiful. Enjoy your sweet rescued girl - I know she will love you forever for giving her a happy life.
She looks like she definately has some Mastiff in her but whatever she is, she's beautiful. I too have a rescue and read recently that they never forget that they were abused and never forget that you saved them. Thanks for giving her a good and loving home. Always remember "until there are none, rescue one". God Bless you for giving her a new home.
Very hard to choose a favourite today, Emma, you're so photogenic! Would love to have seen a pic of her and the octopus!
She is sooo cute!! But look at the size of her paws, you bet she is going to be a big dog. And I bet she is lovable, too. Lots of hugs and kisses for Emma. And for her owners who thought to rescue a baby from a shelter, instead of paying money to a puppy mill owner.
Holy schmoly look at this size of those paws! She's gonna be HUGE! I love Ridgebacks and you got a beauty!
She is beatiful!!! We have a ridgeback, they have such a lovely temperament ! 3; She is soooo adorable, i have so many things to do say and not enough time to say them! Lovely Dog look after her!!
What a sweet puppy face, you guys hit the jackpot with this pound puppy. Emma looks so very happy! She is going to be a big, but beautiful girl. Wishing you many many years of happiness with Emma.
I have a puppy that is almost identical, he is rotweiller and catahoula cross... even down to the white chest and the wrinkles on her forehead... she is beautiful...
Emma is absolutely darling and I love her name, it's perfect for her. Puppy kisses and a million biscuits for Emma
ohhh she looks just like my girl Daisy... coloring and everything!!! sooo sweet. enjoy your time with her!!
She's a doll! I could just kiss her all over! I love her!! You can keep your fancy pure breeds... I'll take a mutt any day!!!
This is what adorable looks like! What a beautiful puppy. You can just see what a little character she is in this pic! Many years of love and fun and a long, happy, healthy life to this angel! XOXOXO
Emma looks like a very happy girl. Love her big smile and tongue. Big hugs and kisses from Elizabeth & Miss Katie =O)
Emma is so happy you saved her from the shelter and gave her a loving home! Look at that smile ---she's lovely!
Emma is beautiful, does not matter what she is, she is unique and adorable. Many happy years together. 11 biscuits
she looks very intrigued here, like she wants to know what's going on near by. Emma is a beautiful pup and she will be even more beautiful as a adult. I love her color and her soulful eyes, many happy chasing-her-ball days and lots of hugs to her.
you are so cute Emma it was hard to pick a picture so i just picked this one. God Bless your parents for taking you home with them. Lots of belly rubs and kisses for you.
What a pretty little girl you are, Emma. Enjoy your family and family you continue to enjoy having your lovely Emma!
OMG! Emma is too cute! Mix breeds are the BEST!! Give her a big hug from me and my pack! phaedra and pack
she is utterly gorgeous, I adore mutts cos they combine cuteness from all sorts of different breeds! She's an absolutely beauty. Yes, I can see the Ridgeback. Is it often that shelters have puppies? No shelters around my area seem to have puppies, just older dogs, and it would be so much nicer to adopt than go to a breeder.
OMG SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL WHAT A PRETTY LITTLE BABY HOPE U ENJOY HER U GUYS ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HER WONDER HOW BIG SHE WILL GET KEEP US POSTED ON HERE
Blue must be Emma's favorite color! And for a good reason it is, cause she looks just awsome in it! This picture makes me wanna sing: Emma in a Sky... La-la-la... Grow big, gorgeous! Health and happiness for many many years! God Bless!
Emma, your family should love you forever because the most faithful, loving and protective doggies are mutts. You have a kind face and are deserving of many biscuits.
Emma you have such a sweet puppy face,I love mixed breeds thay are very special and unique and you are both Emma
What a beautiful girl! Many years of love and happines.Just because her blood isn't blue,dosen't mean her heart isn't true!Hugs and kisses to all.
