Default My new friend

Hi everyone,

I've had a few posts on this site; I came here when we started going through the process of finding and adopting a rescue dog.

Well, 2 and a half months later we now have our lovely dog! He is called Austin and he's a Staffy cross. They weren't sure what he was crossed with but I feel that it may be GSD judging by his looks. He's approximately 2 years old and was brought in as a stray.

He's good with basic commands but we need to train him with regards to recall. He has settled in well but is understandably a bit confused. I'm sure that with time, love and a bit more training he will be even more wonderful than he already is! :mrgreen:

Congratulations to your new edition! I'm sure you're correct, with a little time he'll setlle right in and make himself at home.

Here's a picture of him. What do you guys think with regards to his breed? He is definitely part staffy.

Thanks! I do think he's rather dashing :mrgreen: but then I am biased!

He's a wonderful staffy and I'm not expert with breeds but his mouth and face shows a GSD for me, congratulations on your big baby!

He's a lovely boy, and I think your guess is on the button! Definitely both of your suggestions in there.
I love his expression, very intelligent, alert, and yet at the same time calm.
Much happiness to you all.
