New dog (Plott Hound, Pit Bull/Lab mix)

[ButchA]

Well, yesterday, my wife and I found a nice 1yr old male dog named "Reggie" at the local SPCA in town. As seen in the title of this thread, he is (according to the SPCA) 1/2 purebred Plott Hound, 1/4 Pit Bull, and maybe 1/4 Labrador Retriever. He's awesome, very friendly, and instantly bonded with my wife and I. He does have a very deep "Woof" type of bark and will instantly alert us of any danger.

At 1 year old, he is already 58 pounds and full of energy. Anyone have a dog like this, or ever seen a dog like this?

The main SPCA photo:

Chilled out, relaxed, and falling asleep in my music room on the carpet last night...

He's part Moose. From my experience if he has any "Pit" in him he will bug you to play with him till you collapse. Then crash with you.

I love the mixed breeds. I was told mine was half doberman and half lab. Turns out he is half doberman, and half meth lab.

Yup... Reggie has totally made himself at home. He decided that the big lawn chair was now HIS.

Funny how they do that….
Bess you for giving Reggie a loving home

Update.... I took Reggie out to Powhatan WMA earlier this morning (before it got to be 90+ degrees outside!), and he had a blast! You can clearly see him tugging on the leash after I stopped to take this photo.

Caption: "Dude! Why are we stopping? This place is awesome! So many smells to check out! Come on man. Let's go!"

Part Moose & Pit, he'll walk you around if your not carful.

 

[CECannonJr]

Fantastic dog. I'm sure he's already a best friend.

Thanks... Reggie is awesome. At 1 yr old, he still has a lot of Puppy left in him, and will go flat out, balls to the wall, 100 mph around the backyard! Such much energy, so little time!

Main dominant breed: Plott Hound (parent #1 was pure bred).
Mix breed: Pit Bull w/ just a touch of Lab (parent #2).

Update... My dog Reggie has settled in nicely into our home (it's been almost 2 months now). He's built like a Ox for being almost 60 pounds, and will try to take YOU for a walk if you're not careful! Sheesh...

Check out the latest photo from here in the west end of Henrico Co (Richmond, Virginia) over near Regency Mall, Quioccasin, Farmington, etc... I took Reggie for a nice dog walk along Farmington, and naturally, he had to sniff everything all the way down, and all the way back. What a nose this dog has! Good Lord!

Have you looked into a tax exemption for the cost of feeding him? LOL!

He's beautiful. A fine family member you have there.

Thank you... My wife and I will buy a 40lb bag of dog food, and pour it into one of those storage bins. I have no idea how long it lasts (or should last!) but it can get expensive...
1 heaping scoop of dog food for breakfast in the morning.
2 heaping scoops of dog food for dinner.

Reggie is solid muscle, strong as an Ox, even at 60 lbs, and a bundle of energy...

He looks like a great dog. I am an animal lover. I love guns, but I don't shoot living things. I used to be a hunter, but my heart got soft with age. If I was hungry, I would rethink that...
