a special kind of dog!!

these dogs are special because they are half german shepherd and half wolf! If a dog is exactly 50 50 of each kind of dog, sometimes the dog won't play fetch, or other things that pure breed dogs do! Instead they will lurk around like wolves do.

sometimes dogs need special needs!!

this dog is my friends dog and he is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. they can have health issues like hip dysplasia, spinal disc problems, autoimmune diseases and cataracts! this dog's health issues are just a few that other dogs can have !
