I am Gus! My full name is Augustus, but Mommy calls me GusGus, or just Gus. I am 19 weeks old, so I am still a young puppy.
My biological mommy was surrendered to a rescue when she was pregnant with me and my littermates, and I was born in a very nice foster home.
My doggie mommy is a Great Dane, and my daddy is a Shepherd mix. Human Mommy had my DNA checked to see exactly what the mix was. Here are the results:
Great Dane - 57%
Boxer - 16%
German Shepherd Dog - 14%
American Eskimo Dog - 7%
American Pit Bull Terrier - 3%
Bulldog - 2%
Chinese Shar-Pei - 1%
I have gray eyes, and my coat color is called merle, which is a dappled pattern caused by the Merle gene.
I am rather shy and I don’t like to approach strangers, unless they have a tasty treat. I like to play with Lou and eat anything that’s on the floor. I think mulch is especially tasty, but Mommy always takes it out of my mouth.
But what I like best is to find a nice spot where I can stretch out my front legs and take a nap.
