I'm a lurker on this board, but had to comment on your puppy Stella. Every time I see your siggy I think I'm seeing a picture of my dog Browning as a puppy. Here's a pic:

Hopefully, this works since I'm new at this.
And if you ever figure out what kind of dog Stella is, let me know. I've had Browning for 4 years and have heard every kind of dog you can imagine. I just know he's a great dog and great with my DS!
Re: ETS
It's Stella's half brother!!
Lol.
We have no idea what kind of dog she is. I think someday we may do the genetic testing, but not until we have some spare money.
We've heard: Lab, Great Dane, Border Collie, Australian Cattle dog, Sheltie. So far she's very spirited, nippy, smart, and very cuddly!
Hi Browning!
OK one more of him as a puppy:
We've heard all of those, as well as dalmation. I think he may be some kind of hound/lab. The shelter said he was greater swiss mountain dog/lab?!? I think they were basing it off his siblings. His sister was all black with almost perfect mountain dog markings.
And my DH has promised the DNA testing, but we haven't gotten around to doing it! I don't know how accurate it's going to be.
I'll go back into lurk-dom, but I just had to say she's a cutie!
