Our doctor specified on the paperwork a medium or small dog so we are limited in size (not that we would get a large dog anyway) but breed is not an issue. Pretty much whatever is on that paperwork outweighs any and all apt regulations that might contradict it. <br /><br />The mix had a longer pointed nose and not really the boxer face, she did have the shorter hair though and the brindle. <br /><br />You have a very good point with the pit bull and what people say trying to get a dog adopted vs what is actually true. I will make SURE I/we keep that in mind the next time we go looking.Gwynethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242227573688190610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437461328158404330.post-42885430009129655332010-05-10T21:06:34.844-07:002010-05-10T21:06:34.844-07:00First thought: Boxer & Shepherd? Does having t...First thought: Boxer & Shepherd? Does having the dog for the Kiddo per Dr's instructions nullify municipal and apartment management regulations? Both those breeds are on some "dangerous breeds" lists, and if you have to move (and Kiddo's need for a service animal does not supersede the regs) a dog that is on the list could make finding a new home more difficult. I realize that you didn't get this pup, but felt I should mention it in case you hadn't already taken it into consideration as you continue your search for Mr Right.<br /><br />Second thought: When people/shelters have a pit bull (or bullie mix) that they want to rehome, and are worried that the breed's reputation will scare adopters off, that pit bull part of the dog suddenly becomes advertised as a boxer (due to facial resemblance ... which is likely the reason boxers are on the dangerous breeds lists) or a terrier (due to pit bulls' as a breed deriving from the bull-and-terrier breeds). Unless you don't mind the hassles that go along with owning a pit bull, be careful that the dog you adopt does not have the appearance of bullie in the mix, no matter what the agency labels it.Cnoreply@blogger.com
