It's Granny's Ollie...

[Leslie + Chessies]

He's beautiful!! I'm betting your hunch (Golden/Chessie mix) is correct. He looks very much like a Golden but with the Chessie 'fro . Chessies have no black pigment, so I don't think he would be pure Chessie. He is a looker though. What a find! Have you taken him swimming yet?

 

[Snark]

Awww, what a sweet face! Couldn't be Ollie stealing paper! Must be his evil Twin!

Not yet !! Do Chessie's have a coarser hair than Goldens ??? He does have darker reddish hair on one toe and a patch on this left rear haunch about 4 " in size. Wish he could tell me about his Mom and Dad !!

Snark ... glad my hearing is good !! He took a kleenex box off the table, but luckily had only pulled out 4 ! Sure glad he likes his kennel ! With this heat, he can't go shopping with me and I KNOW what I'd come home to !

Yup, 'snow'. (See? He's just trying to keep things 'cool' with a winter wonderland look. Such a considerate boy! Lol!) My mother's Rottie is the same way, except she only shreds paper when she thinks they've been gone too long.

Yes...very coarse/wooly...a bit like a sheep's.

 

[bubbatd]

Yup !! That's what Ollie's feel like !

Grammy e-mailed me that she gave him his first bath and he was such a GOOD BOY! We want details, Grammy!!!! Did his hair coil up like crazy as he dried???

 

[bubbatd]

I wrote it on another link.... he walked into the shower with me and stood like a gentleman while I shampooed, rinsed and added cream rinse. Then when out went wild rolling on spread out towels. I combed him when he was still damp so really did curl up ! In fact was less curly today , but more wave. What I DIDN'T post.... I always dilute the shampoo and it wasn't until I put the gallon jug away , I saw I used Murphy's Oil instead of the Fresh n' Clean !!! Same color !! Geez Louise Grammy !!! Didn' seem to make him itch or anything and was well rinsed . BAD GRAMMY!!!!

 

[Fran27]

Awww poor Ollie I bet you had to rinse a lot, lol.

I want to see more pictures

 

[bubbatd]

I didn't know what I had used... I always rinse until squeeky clean. I know it's not harsh as by hands are never affected and I've used it for years cleaning leather. I have ordered more shampoo , yes I was out and had forgotten, and will give another bath as I love the smell which lasts for weeks.

 

[oc_spirit]

He''s a cutie grammy!!! I agree with the golden/chessie guess

 

[SummerRiot]

He doesn't look pure Chessy.

Hes definately a mix in my eyes.

He does have such beautiful paws though!!! Love his feet!

 

[bubbatd]

He really has the Golden's " cat like paws " .

 

[Barb04]

I'm in love with his eyes. What a sweet boy!

 

[smkie]

I'd bet my bottom dollar he is a golden/chessie mix. HE's a beauty Grammy

 

[bubbatd]

So far that's the bet... I hope the Vet Clinic will have good input Monday.

 

[bubbatd]

Ollie was a gentleman and well received at the Clinic today . Weighed in at 79 #s , All thought him about 1 1/2 yrs. and ALL said Golden/Chessie !! Vetted clean , ears and teeth admired ( excellent bite ) ... greeted all dogs without ripping my arm off and even met a Chessie.!! The hair was a little shorter than Ollies, but definitely the same feel. Walked in and out without any pulling and hopped right up in the scales.....by golly !! ....good dog Ollie !

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Good boy!!!

 

[Kase]

Aww good boy Ollie, he is one gorgeous boy .
