Hi I've skimmed through Big Paws for advice ever since and right before we came home with Pascua -who keeps growing - he's a big dog but don't think he'll be a giant dog unless he grows into his huge paws. We really do not know the mix of breeds he is since he was a rescue found by himself. He definitely has northern dog characteristic s. Any other big dog mutts?

HAHAHA this place is 'rampant' with big dog mutts!  We WUV mutts!

Welcome to the board!  As you have seen from checking BPO out, this is a wonderful warm place!  I am Ronda and my dogs are Badger the stinky rotty, and Gossy the prissy bullmastiff!

Welcome to Big Paws! I'm Marissa, mom to Zoey an Alaskan Malamute and Dolly a Saint Bernard. Your pup is a real cutie. My dog before the 2 I have know was a mutt and was the best boy ever. Mixes are great!

Welcome to the group. I am Denise and i'm the proud owner of a Mutt. Dakota is a 5 year old neutered Newf/Lab mix. He is the only man in my life after my husband.

I am also owned by two Leonberger girls. Jade is spayed and 1-1/2 years old. Nani is our breeding hopeful and she is almost nine months.

We love to see pictures so don't hold back.

Thanks everyone for greeting us - all of your pups are "awesome" as my new hubbie would say. we are off for a walk in our neighborhood with Pascua - we have to make sure he's around other people each day to continue socializing him.  So is there an average time for a bigger pup to stop growing? just wondering.  I've only had smaller-medium dogs in the past.  Take care!

Welcome to BPO!  I'm Melissa, or Mel to most. ;)  I'm Mommy of Dazy, the 1 year old Giant Schnauzer and Ladybug, the 4 year old Mini Schnauzer with the GIANT attitude! lol  I also am Mommy to an 8 year old daughter and I have a husband that lurks around here from time to time as well. 

I think it's pretty common for most larger type dogs to continue to grow until 2 or so years of age. ????????  Anyone may correct me if I'm wrong on that though. Best of luck with the new love of your life.  (both of them! lol )

Hi Kristi - My husband (then fiance) the spanish language newbie (i'm bilingual) looked in the dictionary and saw that Pascua meant both Easter and Passover (a combination of the 2 of us). Sampson's a handsome boy!

My malamute they said should stop growing at 18 months old, and I think they're right. However, my Saint won't stop til she's 2. I definitely think Pascua has mal in him and German Shepherd. He's a cutie, that's for sure!

Hmmm so Pascua might end up being 100lbs - well more to love.  By the way my husband was very taken by Zoey when I showed him her pictures.  what a great twosome you have there.

thank you Mel - we are a happy new family here plus 2 kitties who hopefully will get used to Pascua.  Pascua met an intact mini Schnauzer at the dog park the other day who -let's say gave him a very hard time ;(  His mom finally had to leave with him since he kept going for Pascua.  I swear Pascua doesn't know how big he is and he's very tolerant!

Welcome!  Congrats on the new pup and new hubby!  You'll love it here.  Pascua is a darling...Wond er what breed he is...  Some of the long haired German Shepherds look similar. 

I'm Julie and I share my home with my hubby, cat (Tilly) and my not-so-big-paws, Jackie and Charge. Charge is a lab and Jackie is my mutt.  They are all wonderful.  :D

Julie


Thanks for the congrats.  We met a long haired german shepherd once and she said her dog looked similar to our pup. Maybe that's were the texture of his fur comes from and the coloring. He has gotten taller though since the last pictures at 8 months. How does your cat get along with the 2 dogs?

Welcome!!  Pascua is a beautiful boy!!  I'm Heatherton, call me H, I have a rescue boxer, Daphne and a siamese mix Stone.  I had a German Shepard, unfortunately he died on Mother's day.  But to your growing question:  my boy also had HUGE ears and feet when he was a pup.  Most dogs are done growing by 2, they may still fill out some after that.  Navarre however grew into his 3rd year!!  Which I had a trainer tell me she had some shepards that also did that.  Enjoy your pup and BPO, there are alot of really cool people here!

Thank you! Give Pascua a pat for me! He's a real cutie. Sure wish he could play with my two! They'd love him!

Welcome... I'm Tom... I have a brindle Great Dane,  a mantle-ish Great Labra-Dane Retriever and a medium Chow-Rott mix(the Rottwow  ;) ).  Chance, the lab/dane mix, seems to have finished growing around 2, he's about 27-29 months now.  Feste, the dane is just over 2, but he's still filling out.
