I agree with jennet, she looks purebred to me and 38 is within the breed standard, Delilah weighs the same. At first, she weighed 34 but putting her on a high quality kibble got her weight to be stable.

Congrats on the new family member

We gave her a bath she really looks skinny in this picture..

They always look extra slim when soaking wet.

She looks purebred. Shelters are terrible at IDing breeds. I saw a purebred irish setter listed once as a red afghan hound! I couldn't believe it! And both of the siberians I've pulled from the shelter were listed as Alaskan Huskies or husky mix too and I'm pretty confident they were all siberian.

FWIW they listed Rodeo as an alaskan Husky lol

Omg how did I miss this! CONGRATS!!! She's beautiful!

Her build looks like a lot like Kody. Long and skinny! He weighed 45lbs at his last vet visit. He could gain a few lbs, but he's just fine. That boy eats, but doesn't fill in. I guess eventually he will

Adding a couple other pictures of Kerian.

John with his babies..




Play time in my back yard.

Blaze looks so happy to have a new sister! And John absolutely adores them both, huh? So sweet

That second pic is hilarious! It's good to see John so happy with both of them!

Yes John loves have her and of course Blaze is his baby..

Thanks all she is so much fun..

We seem to have wrestling matches all day long.

I'd say her shape is perfect. She will fill out for another two years. She is and will be gorgeous! I'm also really partial to reds

Congrats!

Congrats! She is a beauty.

Wow, congrats to you both! I come back from vacation and see two dogs in your avatar and have been wondering what the back story was. She's beautiful and kudos to you for rescuing. She looks totally normal, my boy was long and lanky when we adopted him at 2 yrs old, he filled in beautifully by the age of 3.

She's definitely at home..

She's beautiful!

Congrats, she's beautiful! Glad you finally convinced John, two are better than one IMO. Can we call her KK for short? That name is just a mouth full. Hopefully one of these days I can get my pack up to T-town for a play date, maybe in the fall sometime.

We call her Keri or Kerian for short.

I would love it to have to have a play date with your boys sometime.

We'll have to schedule it then when the weather cools back down.

Congrats on you new addition! Thanks for adopting

I am updating this with some information on how we came about to adopt Kerian.

We saw her on Petfinder she looked so sweet and small. I call the shelter Friday they had already closed for the day and did not open until 10 am Saturday morning. I tried calling at 10 am and still got a voice recording.. was going to call back in 10 minutes before I had a chance to call the shelter called me from the message I had left Friday. We told them we believe we wanted to come and get her it was 3 1/2 hours from our home and they close in about 4 hours. We grab some treats and water Blaze and left to Lee's Summit Mo. We got to the shelter at 1:58pm 2 minutes before they closed the guy I had talk to was planning on waiting until we got there. We introduce Blaze to her ( she did not have a name just a number). We finished up the paper work and took her about 2:20pm or so they micro chip her before we left. she had already been spayed.

On the way home we stopped at Wal mart to get a car charger for cell phone we had ran the phone down using them for GPS. I also purchased some treats and a couple of toys for her.

Her and Blaze got along on the way home.

Here some background on her.

She really had such a hard time in her previous life or so it is looking like.

She was at the shelter for over a month got adopted and came back because she wasn't getting along with the peoples other dog.

she was found at a wildlife reserve I would really like to know how she got there if some had dumped her or she found her way there after escapeing for previous owners.

She had been crate train and some manners training it appears but need alot of leash training.

Not sure exactly how I missed this one, but congrats Linda on the new addition! She is a beautiful little girl! Blaze look's so happy to have her! So sad about her start in life, but at least she has a better life now with you and you're family!
