3:00 snapshot #1839: Sunday

[urbpan]

On Sunday, this happened. This is Carlisle, one of 10 puppies born on Halloween from a pit bull in a shelter. They all have the names of towns in Massachusetts.


The pattern is "blue merle," more often seen in great Danes, Australian shepherds, and Katahoula leopard dogs. His mom was merled too, and there's some suspicion that her line included Katahoulas. Maggie took to Carlisle right away.


A very tired Alexis poses with the new pups.

Aww, spotty puppy :-)

I see from PittieLove's site that Pocket got adopted :-) I'd wondered what happened to her, she was so cute.

Catahoula with a "C". They are very common here in Texas, in the south really. The APBT never expressed merle until recently, and the Catahoula/APBT is a common hog dog cross and the cur looks almost indistinguishable when crossed back to the APBT. Cute pups.
