Kuso is about 7 months old now, maybe a little older. At 7 months old, both Amaya and Ryou weighed about the same as they do now, with only a few pounds difference (Ryou more so than Amaya). Right now, Kuso only weighs about 45 lbs. Now, I'm pretty darned sure that he has Rottweiler in him, but at 7 months old, and if he was Rottie x Aussie, he'd weigh a TON more, because Aussies be about 50-65 lbs, and Rotties should be about 95-130 lbs. So, I would think Kuso would be a LOT more than 45 lbs right now if he is a Rottie x Aussie mix. Anyways, so it's been bugging me to no end.
The other night, I was looking at pictures of border collies, and I found one that was almost shocking in comparison to Kuso. It had the EXACT same coat, the same tail (curve), and their average weight is about 30-45 lbs.
So, I think that he is rottie x bc. He's got the shape and color of a rottie, the size and coat of a bc. XD And a mixture of their personalities. haha.
*sigh* Alas, though, I've decided that I'm not the perfect mama for him. :frown: I just get so frustrated by his stubbornness, and frustration is definitely not the way to handle any dog-related situation, and I'm not used to--nor ready--to own a dog that wishes to be dominant, and is really sneaky about his way of going around gaining dominance. Not only that, but with all the stress I'm going through right now, it just tacks on more to the frustration aspect... So I'm going to search for a new home for him. I am not doing this for myself, and it wasn't an easy decision. It's not because of the divorce, nor because of money. It's just because I simply don't get along with him, and I feel he doesn't deserve that. I'm definitely going to take my time searching, though, and I'm going to write up a full contract and find out how to make it binding and legal, and it's definitely going to include a food clause as well biggrin. I definitely want to find him the RIGHT home this time. I feel terrible that I didn't provide that for him... :frown:
