This little guy and his two siblings were dumped at the gas station, at the bricked section where the dumpster is. I happened to stop by the station on my way home from the river and one of the ladies there told me about the pups. One customer had already taken one and her husband was coming to look at the other two. She wanted both, he agreed to one. Fortunantly or not, I AM animal control so whether I wanted to take the pup then or later I had a feeling I'd be dealing with it. I figured I'd take it home and deal with it Monday.
He's been here since Saturday night and I'm shocked by his obvious poor breeding.
The first thing I noticed is he is skin and bones despite his fluffy fur. Great Pyrenees without a doubt, he should at least be double in weight than what he is.
It didnt take me long to figure out why he is so malnourished:
I've been reading quite a bit about mouth troubles with dogs, and from what I can tell he'll need regular check ups and if surgery is needed, it probably wont be done until he's over 10 months old.
He is not very cooperative when it comes to taking pictures of his mouth, but here is an idea of how his mouth is... His lower jaw actually ends behind his front teeth.
Poor guy.
Here's a view of him resting:
Puppy teeth picture, when his mouth is open you can see the bottom but not the top teeth:
He thought I was suffocating him here, pinching his nose - you can kind of see how his bottom jaw is positioned behind his front teeth:
I think he is cute in these pictures, but they give an overall look at the shape of his head/face:
