So, a few shops around here sell DNA tests for dogs that will reveal the breed. At $75 a pop, they aren't cheap, so weren't a high priority for us. With my new job, however, we have the money floating around to afford it.
We got it back about a month ago, and Mogli is a purebred german shepherd, going back at least 3 generations.
For those who don't remember, we picked up Mogli from a shelter not far from here. He was picked up as a stray, and given the name by one of the girls who works there. He was full grown when we got him, but he was 39 lbs back then, and is 80 now.
Photos from back then:
You can see his ribs in this shot. This was mere days after we got him.
A photo of him since discovering how awesome water is:
and finally, a youtube video of him being told he's going to his favorite doggy boarding place that allows free play throughout the day:

He's no longer afraid of me. He's quit picking up rocks, and now he eagerly learns new commands, tricks, and works hard to please us. My favorite part? He's my morning coffee buddy. If I get a call while on call, and go to handle the issue at my computer rather than to the coffee grinder to start coffee, he'll get annoyed, and get in my face and whine and look between me and the couch where we usually sit together in the mornings.
