Their fur feels kinda rough to the touch but that might be because I don’t know how long they were wandering around before they found us. We’ll give them a bath tonight.

Whatever they are- they’re dear looking!

Aren't they though.

Sometimes I just don't understand people. Well, one mans trash is another mans treasure I guess. :)

People never cease to amaze me.

Nor me.

Thank you. We'll take good care of them and give them plenty of love.

It looks like a lot of love to me!

They've taken to us big time. And we to them.

Black spots? Those are Hell hounds. When the black comes in fully, their eyes will begin to glow red.

You dog! lolol Then I'll pull a Mia on them if they do. LOL

I've had those moods myself.

And judging by the size of those paws, you’ve got a couple of BIG new friends!

I agree, BIG new friends.

I love their poses. They’ve really taken to the place. It’s like they’re just saying “Hi, we’re here, now where’s the food?”

They've made themselves right at home. And as far as eating goes, they'll be served again as soon as my girl gets back. I don't know how long they've been hungry. They almost inhaled what little dog food we keep on hand for strays.

Some info on the skin pigment...

Nose and skin pigmentation
Because Lab colouration is controlled by multiple genes, it is possible for recessive genes to emerge some generations later and also there can sometimes be unexpected pigmentation effects to different parts of the body. Pigmentation effects appear in regard to yellow Labs, and sometimes chocolate, and hence the majority of this section covers pigmentation within the yellow Lab. The most common places where pigmentation is visible are the nose, lips, gums, feet,tails, and the rims of the eyes, which may be black, brown, light yellow-brown (”liver”, caused by having two genes for chocolate),[11] or several other colours. A Lab can carry genes for a different colour, for example a black Lab can carry recessive chocolate and yellow genes, and a yellow Lab can carry recessive genes for the other two colours. DNA testing can reveal some aspects of these. Less common pigmentations (other than pink) are a fault, not a disqualification, and hence such dogs are still permitted to be shown.[11]

The intensity of black pigment on yellow Labs is controlled by a separate gene independent of the fur colouring.[11] Yellow Labs usually have black noses, which may gradually turn pink with age (called “snow nose” or “winter nose”). This is due to a reduction in the enzyme tyrosinase which indirectly controls the production of melanin, a dark colouring. Tyrosinase is temperature dependent—hence light colouration can be seasonal, due to cold weather—and is less produced with increasing age (two years old onwards). As a result, the nose colour of most yellow Labs becomes a somewhat pink shade as they grow older.[11]

There’s no question in my mind that my wife would dump me before our Maltese “Ralph”.

Yes, we decided on keeping them. I called my hubby and told him we were keeping them and all he said was, "I knew it." Then asked me what I wanted him to bring home in the way of food tonight, I said, hamburgers would be great. He said, 'I was talking about the dogs.'

We're still deciding on house or yard dog though.

You really should have them scanned at a Vet or local shelter. It’s free. Someone could be missing these dogs.

BTW, that’s “champagne”, not “champaign”, LOL! Sometimes brane knott workk rite.

In my opinion, one of the most important things you can do in life is give a puppy a good and loving home.

Probably a retreiver mix, either lab or (light) golden. Throw a tennis ball and find out ;)

My two cents: Too much hair to be Dalmations, and their spots would have come in by this age.... Everything at this age looks like a Retriever mix so it's hard to tell. I think there's a fifty fifty chance their ears may stand up, or that something in their ancestry had ears that stand up. The one on the right's ears aren't laying real flat. They do have a little bit of a Pyrenees look about them, but they almost aren't big ~enough~ to be a pyrenees, and they have even more hair. (great pyrenees puppies - Google Image Search)

Ping!

And now for this important DOGGIEPING Announcement!

I've lost my list! I did a deep clean of my computer last weekend and I guess inadvertently deleted the folder I kept the ping list in.

If you were previously on my ping list and would still like to be on the list now, please let me know... I'm gonna have to re-build the list from scratch!

We're way out of town. Someone just abandoned them. Their loss our gain.

When you take them in for their shots and exam the vet may be able to shed a little more light on the breeds involved.

I hope so. They are just so friendly.
