Rascal is part of the "Lucky 7" litter, that was found on 1/12/03.
He is believed to be an Australian Shepherd, Golden Lab, German Shepard Mix. This breed estimate was made by the vet, at approximately 6 weeks of age.
He went to the vet for a check up on 1/15/03, and was given a clean bill of health. The vet gave him wormer treatment as a precaution, and he did have some roundworms. That seems to have cleared up, but you may want to mention this when you take him to the vet. Rascal will be needing his first round of shots when he gets adopted.
Rascal has an estimated birth date of 12/01/02. This is based on the vet estimate of his age at the check-up. As of 3/1/03, he weighs about 20 pounds. The vet estimated he will grow to be 50-70 pounds or larger.
Rascal is fairly well behaved. He has plenty of energy, loves attention, and likes to wrestle with his littermates. Rascal doesn't jump up as often as the other puppies, and is also calmer when presented with treats and toys. He seems to be grasping housebreaking, and is starting to recognize his name. He and his littermates seem to do well with cats, kids, and other pets. They all like to jump at this age, so they may knock down a young child accidentally, but have not hurt anyone. Rascal is quite curious of our cat, and likes to check her out when she allows him to.
