he shoudl heel up just fine. he is lucky he is still young with nice growing bones that heal fast. he has been in it a week so far, and probably has another 3 left. We are goign back in in a week to get it all checked up on, but most likely it will need another couple weeks.
i see sheaperd too, and a lot of people see dane too. one of his brothers looks very mastiff, the other looks very dane, and shakes here doesn't really look particularly either.....
That is the really fun thing about mixed breeds, they are all surprises as they grow up. Who knows what he will end up looking like, or how big he will end up being. All we know is that he is the sweetest couch potato ever, and that is good enough for me!
