Modern Primate

“I have an idea! Let’s see if we can breed a dog with all the aggression of a pit bull, and the unmanageable size of a Great Dane.”

- Nobody ever

After having Nathan for just over a week, we can’t believe how big he’s getting. For a puppy that’s not yet 5 months old, he’s huge! Among the stack of papers, one letter contains an interesting caveat: “Your adopted dog is of indeterminate background, and we are making an assumption that this is a pit bull-type dog based on appearance.”

I have little doubt that Nathan has some pit bull in him, although his facial markings and body shape seem to suggest that he has some Great Dane in him as well. From looking at pictures of other Great Dane / Boxer and Great Dane / Pit Bull mixes, I have little doubt about his Scooby Dooness. What did we get ourselves into?
