We just brought our new dog home! His name is Meeko. He is half german shepherd and half mastiff. It has been one year to the day since we had to put Nova down. Meeko reminds us so much of Nova, it’s crazy. Nearly identical temperament, very smart, loves to snuggle, and he plays the same way. He’s just a LOT bigger. He’s the size of a wolf, and he sorta looks like one too, especially at night. It’s like picking up where we left off…and it comes with so many emotions. He is a very good dog with nearly identical training to Nova, so it’s almost like we got him back in a different body. Anyway, here is Meeko!
I'm gonna hope he has NONE of the mastiff hip dysplasia (CHD) nor cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) weakness/commonality genes. CCL repair used to be 5K, can't imagine what they are now. The mix makes for a really cool looking dog though. Hopefully without the drooling all over.
