Here we have "Chance", a 4month old mutt I got a couple of weeks ago from a shelter. He got his name because first he survived his brother who was put down by the shelter. A few days later he got sick with parvo. He survived that too against all odds and the opinion of two different vets. And finally he survived all the other dogs in the shelter that had to be put down to prevent a parvo epidemic in the shelter.
He is already pretty big (app 18inches high and weighs 40 lbs) and I expect him to grow to at least 24" and 80 lbs.
He is fairly laid back for a puppy, could be, though, that he grew up in a kennel and therefore still does not know how to control his long legs. He has a dark bark like an adult dog and a pretty loud howl. Pretty smart, potty trained within a few days and learns commands quick.
He doesn't seem to shed much but has a strong doggy smell.
I have no idea what breeds he got mixed up with - any suggestions?

First day - checking out sourroundings. Pretty skinny, though.

Chance on his fourth day treatment for parvo.

First steps on still waggely legs when starting to recover.
