Not a garder but HAD to get..

Ok i know this is not snake related but i had to bust this BIG guy out of jail.. They was going to put him to sleep in 2 days.. so i payed 150.00 for him to become our new family member.. he's fatting up i don't know much about large breeds of dog so if anyone has info on feeding and such would help LOT.. We got him home and after he scarfed down his food and rested for a whole day and half we started to play with him.. He knows sit, lay down, go to bed and careful (which he'll crawl on his tummy over to my kids really gently) on command not our doing.. My daughter (she's 3) saw him and called me over to see him.. when we got him he was so dirty that i thought he was a big black lab.. after we give him a bath this is now what he looks like... I thought my husband was going to kill me bring him home but he took one look at him and started to cry.. I asked what was wrong and he said he looked like a dog he lost when he was a kid and excepted him right way... Here's his pics.. The pound named him Chingy... I have no idea what kind of dog he is just know he's HUGE!!! He's neutered too.. I love the last pic shows his peacefulness..

YES-- Anatolian!!!!!! I can't believe I didn't see that before. Well, are you wanting to feed him free choice or twice a day? I free choice my dogs so it's been a long time since I had to measure out feed. What's his weight about?

Re: Not a garder but HAD to get..

well he deff. has dane in him, and i would say anatolian would be as well, as for feeding most large dogs are to be feed on a lifted up bowl to eat and drink, it should not be at floor level, my dane which is 115 lbs eats 12 cups a day 6 in the mornign and 6 in the afternoon and don't let him drink a lot of water right after eating can cause problems, a little bit after feeding is fine and as much as is needed after that.........
