I think that's the most important part, pentatonic. Rebel has a beautiful face. I hope he doesn't have to have his ears posted like that for a long period of time.

He looks like a real cutie! If you're hesitant, then you're doing the right thing by waiting. I know one, especially a puppy, can be a handful. My first boy I had when he was about 10 weeks and I remember it was hard (that was 20 years ago). My girl now was 6 months old when I adopted her last year, and my boy was 2 yrs old when I adopted him almost 6 yrs ago. If I were you I'd maybe take him to doggy daycare or on playdates with other dogs, that way you can see how he interacts with other dogs. Then you'll now which type of personality dog he'll get along with best when you're ready for another dog.

You are going to have so much fun with him! This is my first red girl and some people say red personalities are different. My previous girl I had was a blue, and she was nothing like my girl now. My girl now is the biggest goofball, tomboy, but yet still the leaning, typical Dobie.

These are the sweetest pictures ever. My cousin just had a baby this morning and know she's always been crazy about her dogs like I am about mine. I hope hers are half as sweet as yours when it comes to the baby. too cute

Where are these rankings?

I bet mastiffs are the dumbest of all, but you have to love them for their dumbness.

If I had to guess, I would bet border collies top the list.

Your pictures are wonderful! I think my favorite was the one taken while the baby was getting a bath. It was as if your dog was saying, "Yeah buddy! I don't like it either".

Thank you! All I know for sure is she is part chihuahua. She does weigh almost 20 pounds so she is clearly mixed with something larger, but I have no clue what that would be. There isn't anything about her physical appearance or behavior that points to a specific breed. She is quite the cutie though!
