Darwin

My husband and I purchased Darwin fairly soon after our 13 year old dog had to be put down due to cancer and other ailments due to aging. We didn't want to get another dog so soon but our 4 year old Chihuahua (Pedro) was in such a deep depression that we knew we had to get him a playmate.

We began searching for a Mastador and didn't have any luck finding a puppy. We noticed an ad for a Mastidane and called the number and they still had 2 boys and 1 girl. We wanted a boy so we drove out and looked at the pups. As soon as we got in the kennel with them, Darwin came up and kissed me with such love that it was all over. He had my heart.

Darwin is 11 weeks old and weighs 31 pounds. He's 100% PUPPY!!! It took Pedro a few days to get used to him but now they play chase and "let's see who can keep taking the toy away". Pedro is only 7 pounds but he rules the roost.

Darwin rotates from toy to toy to toy to toy....if you get my drift. He is an escape artist also. We bought an indoor kennel that is supposed to be a "play area". Well, Darwin manages to push the door open and get out. We barricaded arround the door and he just moves it out of the way and gets out. But the good news is that when he does get out, all he does is go in the living room and play with his toys. He doesn't destroy anything or use the bathroom anywhere. Darwin has only had 3 or 4 accidents since being with us. He's pp'd on the ceramic tile but never on the carpet. He poops outside only. He's awesome.

Although Darwin is considered a mixed breed and not recognized by the AKC, his breed is recognized by the Hybrid Association. Not that I care who recognizes him. He's our baby and part of the family!!

Thanks for letting me be part of this site!
