The doghouse

Labrador Daschund Cross

My parents fostered an accidental litter of lab daxie crosses 14 years ago. They were beautiful and the charity we fostered them for rehomed all but our Jack successfully.
Jack worried us, he ate everything that he could as a pup - worse than the 2 pedigree labs and 1 golden retriever rescue my parents had owned previously. He pulled up the kitchen lino, he and our lab and golden retriever and siamese cat worked in cahoots for months opening cupboards when we were out and emptying them, he ate Dad's diary, he left teeth marks in lots of cutlery, kitchen utensils and aluminium saucepan lids. Most worryingly he had some random fits aged about 3 and never had any more (????) although obviously we were really worried at the time.
Anyway Jack has this year turned 14. His picture is on my profile (at the bottom). He is slowing down but still bloody gorgeous. A weird and accidental cross created a beautiful dog.
Couldn't resist sharing!

How adorable!

I was thinking this cannot be possible but it obviously is! I take it the Mum was the lab? Or did a Daschund have a litter of lab pups?

Mum was indeed the lab.

They were the product of an irresponsible accident. The owners moved in together and each assumed the other's dog had been neutered. Angry

Most of them were black and tan daxie colouring, Jack was the only golden one and we adored him from day one.
