...is this ~1 year old German Shepherd/lab mix we rescued the other day.
Pretty excited about it!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171128/201d34266ada50c374fbacc92aabb8ee.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171128/7bc60d58bfa8405c6eb656fbc901509d.jpg)

I predict burglaries will not be a problem at your house.

I hope you’re right! Burglaries are pretty much the norm in my “up and coming” Oakland neighborhood.
This guy looks tough and mean, but heÂ’s actually very gentle and mellow. We picked him up from the shelter on Friday, and he hasnÂ’t barked a single time! Not once! We donÂ’t even know what his bark sounds like! Haha.
He was picked as an already neutered stray puppy roaming around Bakersfield, but no one claimed him. The shelter down there was going to euthanize him, but thankfully the Milo Foundation in Richmond picked him up just in time.
He must have already had some training, because he’s already figuring out how to sit, lay down, and “leave it!”. No accidents in the house, and he sleeps through the night without whining!
I definitely feel lucky, and IÂ’m sure he does, too!
We named him Arlo because heÂ’s a Thanksgiving pooch. :)

Congrats......he's got BIG FEET and you know what that means :smt002
is that a Gunthrie reference? You're too young to know that stuff Sean (me) too, but my Mom educated us young on that stuff.

If he's wandered the streets of Bakersfield (BF i used to call it :smt044), he'll be just fine!
And won't take no s*** either.
Congrats!

Good looking pooch ya got there! Congrats on the addition to the family.

Thanks, guys!
Yup. HeÂ’s named after Arlo Guthrie. I listen to that one particular song (AliceÂ’s Restaurant Massacree) at least once each Thanksgiving. (I wasnÂ’t born yet when he wrote it, but itÂ’s still one of my favs.)
He does have big feet. HeÂ’s about 70 lbs now - not sure how much bigger heÂ’ll get because we donÂ’t know his exact age.
He slept in this funny position for about an hour the other day. Snoring loudly, of course... :)

Hmm... The shelter had this guy listed as a “German Shepherd mix”, but I’m thinking he looks more like a Belgian Malinois (mix).
What do the dog gurus in the group think?

Could be.
We had Belgians in the Marines. Smaller and squirrelier.

dog snoring is the best thing in the history of things.

They are awesome! Most working Belgians are Malinois, but I had a Terv, so sad to let him go due to age. Still think about him all the time.

I can tell from the cushy bed he won the dog lottery with you. I’m guessing if he knows how to behave the way you say - he also knows who belongs where: burglars beware!

Yeah, the other day he got a little worked up defending my wife and IÂÂ’s cheeseburgers from another leashed dog that was passing by. I appreciate his sentiment, but weÂÂ’re gonna have to put that behavior in check! Haha!

I think it's a good looking dog. That black mask could be from a number of species, shepherds and LGDs (including my favorite breed, the Anatolian Shepherd).

Arlo looks happy fishing with you. You are gonna have some great times ahead!
