Question

Puppies
Hi there,

We recently got two male puppies that are about 9 weeks old. We were told that they are great dane/coon hound/bull dog mix.

I'm wondering if you could give me any insight as to your thoughts and whether or not you think they are what we are told. Also, any ideas about size as an adult?"

Answer
The old adage of "growing into their paws"  strikes me as I look at the pictures...I would say the one on the right at 9 weeks looks more like the Dane and the other looks like it will look more like it will grow to a hound look.  Unless it is camera foreshortening, (objects in front appear bigger) my guess would be the one on the right will be bigger as he looks bigger already.  There is a way to tell the background.  You can send in his DNA www.marsveterinary.com/news.aspx, however read the complaints and compliments first to make sure you understand how this works.
