"This is my Lab / Boxer / Rottie / Husky mix puppy named Ruger. He was three weeks old in this pic and I have to wait a while longer before bringing him home. I picked him out when he was 10 days old and his eyes were still closed. Of eight puppies he is the only one with both eyes blue. I am a fan of the Dog Whisperer and have been trying to work with my other dog before the puppy comes home. I want to be a strong pack leader."

Ruger the Lab / Boxer / Rottie / Husky mix at 6 months old—"At 6 months he is 21" and 50 lbs. One eye is still a very light blue while the other is marbled brown and blue. We are glad to have made him a part of our home."
Ruger the Lab / Boxer / Rottie / Husky mix at 6 months old—"Ruger is now 15 months old and weighs 72 lbs. He is a meek dog and has a gentleness about him I have never had in any other dog. He isn't one for lying next to you on the couch or bed, but he'll lie in whatever room you are in, usually by your chair. Working as a team Ruger does chase rabbits and other small animals with my other much smaller dog. Fortunately, it has been just chasing and no catching. He is developing a protective attitude but is still more of a coward than a watch dog. He does have a good deep bark. I can't tell what breed stands out more in him. He really seems a perfect blend of all of the breeds."
