I am not sure what breed but I do know he is such a cute boy. I love the marking around his eyes.  He looks like a very special boy.

I agree he's definitely St. Bernard. How tall is he? He just looks like he needs to finish filling out.

Nicki,
He is definately a Saint!  You are going to give your poor boy a complex!  HE is BEAUTIFUL.  I think Bailey would look just like him if she didn't have a rough coat.  It makes her look fatter than she really is.  SHe is starting to be all legs, too!  I will post some new pics of her later today so you can see how gangly she is getting, also!

Nicker he looks like a saint.We cant all look alike,life would be boring then.Maybe his parents were small.Keep your chin up Angus your a stud.

Wow!  Angus and Judge look a lot alike actually!  I think they are all right.  Angus is a Saint.  A true, bonified, pureblood, one of a kind, gorgeous, stufmuffin alicious Saint Bernard Boy!  HE JUST NEEDS TO FILL OUT!!!! ;D  He's probably just jumping on the couch now because he figures you owe it him for talking such smack behind his back!  Don't stress.  When he catches up to those legs you're gonna have a huge guy on your hands!

I think he look just like all the other Saints on the postings.  Maybe since you got him when he was so little, and lost his mom at such a young age, he is just getting a slow start.  Or maybe he is supposed to be petite.

He's adorable. 
I tell Grace that a lot too...that she's the mini Rott because she's growing so differently than Lady did.  She's getting thick first and will get taller later I guess.  And she's not supposed to be a big Rott anyway since she was bread for show and not size. But this show litter was too big as the breeder says and yesterday the breeder saw pictures of Grace and said my God she's huge and a lot bigger than the rest of the litter is now.  And those paws...well those paws is all I have to say. 
I just tell myself they all go through those awkward phases and will be what they are when they get there. :)
just like kids...we all sprout and fill out in different ways and at different times. 
Again...he's adorable!

I already told you he is  a pygmy Saint!..lol...Seriou sly though, I think he is a Saint!...I think he's not growing as expected just to irritate you!

: Nicole June 15, 2005, 03:32:21 PM
Aw, Nick!!!
He's a Saint! Everyone's right...he's probably just all gangly..it happens! (If you don't believe me, take a look at a 15 year old boy...they're WEIRD lookin!)

Don't sweat it! He'll fill out.

Nicki, I think he looks like a st. as a puppy there is nothing in the world that makes him look like anything but a St. Now when he is a teenager, he has a little longer legs and not a very full body yet. But that does NOT mean he is not a ST. As an example, I used to have Danes, most of them grew kinda okay, but I had one gire (Hanna) who grew like Angus does. She was alllllll legs and no body, she went under the name "the picket fence" she had no chest, she had no mass to the body, she was just 4 very long and skinny legs. She grew soooo different from the other danes I had had, But when she was a little over 2 years old, she had filled out, she had a wonderful chest and a really good body, she never got to be as massive as some other danes, but definately good enought to even conformation show, so she was just very late and very slow in how she matured.

No matter how hard I look at Angus, all I can see is St. so you go get your sweet baby boy a big box of cookies and tell him you are sorry for ever doubting he was a St. pure as can be.........

He will be fine nicker, just give him time  :D

Nikkers, Wangus' Auntie Marsi thinks he is a beautiful boy!  He is just going thru that gangly "teen-age phase".  If he was human, he would be about 8 feet tall, have bad acne, size 13 shoes, a changing voice, and play a lot of Dungeons & Dragons!  He just needs to fill out a little...

And he IS a St. Bernard!   Look how similar to the pictures of all the other St. Bernards posted he is.  Now look at the picture of Ranger below.  Ranger is a St. Bernard MIX.  Wangus does not look like Ranger.  Therefore....   ;D

: NatsaintB June 15, 2005, 07:19:37 PM
I have a great idea!  Just buy him a t-shirt that says "Under Construction"!  Then he'll really be the mascot for this site!  LOL
: Re: HELP WITH MY DOG WANGUS......
: jabear June 15, 2005, 11:41:00 PM
Great idea Nats! I TOLD you he needs to fill out Nicki! He is just a giant in height right now is sooo lanky. He is going to be huge some day.

: GYPSY JAZMINE June 16, 2005, 10:43:54 AM
Nick, just to set your mind at ease, may I post a pic of Wangus at one of my groups?...There is a man there who has breeded, raised, & shown Saints for 25 years...Then I will copy & paste his answer for you...Also, include any info. you want him to have about Wangus.

LMAO - Nat that is the funniest darn {still working on that clean language, jaba} thing!!!  I needed that laugh this morning!

Nicker - I think ol' Wangus is a saint...he is just stalling his growth to piss you off, since you keep challenging his sainthood!  {insert an E-vil Wangus Laugh here}.

Have I mentioned how MUCH I've missed you ladies??!??!

Swissy!  You make my heart all giganticus!  I'm glad we are all back on and things are getting back to normal.

Nicker!  ANGUS IS A SAINT to put up with you questioning his breeding for all the world to see!  I wonder if he's embarressed?  LOL

Nicki,  He is a Saint Bernard!  Eddy is a rough coat so he appears to be bigger, but at 15 months he is only 98#s.  Remember, with his hips he has to be light.  Eddy went from 110#s to 90#s after his first surgery.  His vet wants him to stay right around 110-120#s.

Big Eddy sure is a handsome guy!  I want to see more pics of him if you have any! 

Nicker, I'm fine thanks!

That sounds like fun!  Where did you have the bonfire?  I haven't been around a bonfire for at least twelve or thirteen years.  They are nice on the beach.  I miss that.

: bigeddythesaint June 20, 2005, 11:39:53 AM
We are doing very well!  Eddy is scheduled for surgery on July 14th.  He is running around chasing rabbits and cats, and only using the three "good" legs.  He keeps the leg that has not been operated on up in the air.  We are truely amazed at his progress, and are glad we did not make the decision to put him down.  He is quite the miracle dog  :).  I have two pictures.  One of him sitting on the couch with his head on our daughter's back (lazy lazy lazy) and the other one he has a stick that is bigger than he is.  He wants Heidi to take the stick from him and throw it.  He gets a little carried away sometimes!!!

My hubby made us a bonafide bonfire pit right in the middle of our back yard!...Sat. night a plastic hamper went in, an old kids Little Tykes chair, 2 pairs of shoes, a lawn chair, a Buzz Lightyear action figure that had been accidently decapitated by the lawnmower earlier that day, & possible my bra but I'm not sure..Haven't found it yet though...lol.. .A good time was had by all! ;D

You lucky dog Chelle!  I would love to have a bonfire here but we can't burn in the city our here.  Not legally anyway  :-X.  I bet when that bra when in there was a whole lotta smoke!!!! 

BigEddy, Good luck on the surgery!  My thoughts and prayers are with you even though it will probably be a snap!  Give Eddy loves and slobbers from me and Leo!
