Molly is my 1-1/2 yr. old Labrador/Boxer mix and I got her from the Rescue Center in Benicia/Vallejo here in California a month ago.
I have had no experience caring for a mix breed as my first pet was a Dalmatian. I find there are not that many books/resources about mix breeds and what to expect. She's a pretty mellow, affectionate, but high energy dog. I feed her home-cooked food and often wonder how much I should feed her. I feed her morning and evening, but she gobbles up her food pretty fast and I don't know if she's full or not! she has gained 12lbs. since I got her a month and a half ago. her ribs aren't showing as much anymore.
Hope someone out there can share some info.
Thanks...
Roz and Molly
