Our foster dog is here.
Sammi is about the cutest dog I’ve ever seen. I don’t know exactly what she is mixed with, but I am guessing mostly American pit bull terrier with some smaller terrier like a Jack Russell. She seems to be all terrier to me anyway! Basically she is a tiny pitbull. She is about a third of Ace’s size and very, very skinny. She didn’t want to eat her breakfast this morning because there were too many new things to smell and see, but I will be trying to put more weight on while she is with us.
If you are interested in adopting Sammi, send me an email at Lindsay@thatmutt.com.
(03/29/09 edit: Sammi has been adopted! 07/04/11 update: Since Sammi was adopted by our friends, we still get to see her. She is one happy, spoiled girl. She grew to be about 55 pounds and still very lean. We still don’t know what she is mixed with. I posted a new pic of her at the bottom of this post – all grown up!)
Sammi will make the perfect dog for someone. I have only had her for a few hours, but I can already tell she is a very, very nice dog. Sammi is not very old, perhaps 10 months at the most. But so far no accidents in the house, and she doesn’t chew anything but her own toys.
You can see Ace is avoiding Sammi in the photo. That is typical of Ace when I bring in a new dog. He warmed up to her shortly after we went for a run and then went home. Both dogs have been playing nicely with their toys and having a great time. Ace was being possessive over the toys, however! For once, my dog is the dominant one.
Anyway, it is crazy in Fargo with the Red River flooding. I have a lot going on, but I will update you soon on how Sammi is doing.

Oh my, she is absolutely adorable! I hope you find her a forever home soon!
She has the cutest little face ever.
She looks so adorable.
If I lived in Fargo, I’d take her within a snap. She’s gorgeous.
I hope she finds a nice home soon.
Ace does look so unimpressed!
Too bad that I’m in the UK. I’d love to adopt her.
Already adopted a Boxer x last year and have had the joys and spills.
I think it’s lovely.
Awsome looking dog! I know what you mean with Fargo Moorhead right now. The water finally went down by us. We were getting a little nervous. Ruby and Bruno didn’t know what to think. Their yard was replaced by a lake. So we are safe now but the water had to go somewhere and that somewhere is Fargo Moorhead. My prayers are with all the people fighting so graciously trying to save peoples homes. Even if it isn’t theirs.
Thanks Apryl, I’m sure I will!
Thanks Charlotte. Too bad you are in the UK!
Shane, I hope everything turns out OK for everyone. I’m glad your house didn’t get any flooding.
Sammi has such a great face! I love those ears.
What a beautiful puppy <3 She just melted my heart. Is she still up for adoption!? I am interested. Have questions. Email works best!
She was adopted in March. There are plenty of other dogs for adoption at 4LuvofDog.com
I was wonder what I can do because I have a pitbull mix with a mutt and it is 2 months old. What can I do to teach it not to be mean or biting others when it gets old. If anyone wants to help, just email me at sexy_red145@yahoo.com. Thank you. Chelsea Forrester.
Chelsea, just because your dog is a pitbull doesn’t mean it is going to be mean when it gets older. But the best thing you can do is begin training and socializing the pup while it is still young. Then, continue on with training throughout the dog’s life. Sign up for an obedience class so you can learn to teach your dog commands, but more importantly, the dog will get to socialize and interact with other dogs. Also, take your dog to many different places and have it meet as many people and dogs as possible.
I adopted a little dog just like Sammi in March 2009, and she was 3 months old at the time. I love her, and the only difference is my Skeeter is black and brown where Sammi is fawn colored, but the same ears and everything. If she is like my little loving brute, she is very intelligent. I stay at home so I have time to be with her, as you need to do. I realized she was so smart. I went to the library to get books on training her to try to make sure she wasn’t outsmarting me.
I bet your dog is really cute! She’s lucky to have you!
Sammi looks exactly like our dog except all black with the white chest patch. She also had those perky but floppy ears when she was a pup. Her name is Izzy. She’s 3 now. It seems like Sammi will have the same ears – floppy when she’s tired, straight back when she’s scared and straight up when she is on alert. Izzy is small too. She’s only 38 pounds. Small, but dense. If we lived near Fargo, we would definitely be snatching her up. Good luck!
Sammi was adopted in about three days. Go figure! She’s too cute.
That is the cutest PB&J I’ve ever seen!
Ha! I agree!
Hello. We are a family of six, and we really want a dog just like Sammi or just really kid friendly. We live in Calipatria, Calif., and we are hoping you could help use get a dog. We really like pitbulls as well. Thank you, and have a nice day.
Search for dog rescues in your area. I looked on Petfinder and the city of Indio has several pitbulls for adoption, only a bit over an hour away. http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?animal_type=Dog&pet_breed=pitbull&location=92233&startsearch=Search
Here’s a cute pitbull named Socks: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/18449152
I just rescued a dog who looks exactly like Sammi! What kind of pit mix is she?
Your guess is as good as mine! I always think she looks like she has some jack russell.
I rescued a dog that looks a lot like Sammi. They told me she is a Chihuahua/pitbull mix. Her face does look a lot like a pitbull face, but she is too long legged and skinny. She is so full of energy like a Jack Russell and all tan with a red nose and green eyes.
Cute! You should send a picture of your dog! I don’t think Sammi is a Chihuahua mix because she is a good 50 pounds.
Boy, that puppy is so freakin’ cute, you are going to have a hard time keeping me from stealing him.
LOL
She is adorable. Thanks for stopping by!
How did her temper turn out? I LOVE the way pitbulls look and want to own one so bad but I am afraid of their reputation. I like JRTs as well! I trained a Cane Corso in college (he was my roommate’s dog) to hold a treat in his mouth until I said “ok” (the signal word I used that granted him permission). I think he was just an incredibly bright dog and it was a unique case.
1.Does getting a mix or a quarter reduce the chance of biting or
2. Are there early tests I can do if I’m trying to pick a puppy out of a litter?
3. Help!
Sammi is as sweet as can be. She loves to play with other dogs. She comes and stays with us and she is nice to my cats, and she even lives with a baby. She loves everyone!
1. I do not believe getting a mixed-breed dog will do anything to increase or decrease the chance of the dog biting. Each dog is different, and the dog’s temperament is determined mostly by how it is raised. A small part of the dog’s temperament is also going to depend on the dog’s parents.
2. You can try to predict how a puppy’s temperament will turn out by watching a litter, but it’s so hard to really know. I would pick out a pup that appears to be “in the middle” as far as energy, friendliness, playfulness, etc. I would not pick the pup that is the most shy. I would also not pick the pup that is the most rambunctious or rough with its siblings. But really, I think your best bet is to socialized the puppy as much as you can and begin training right away. Introduce the puppy to as many different people and dogs as you can and enroll in obedience classes.
I also recommend going to a shelter or rescue group and finding an adult dog with a good temperament. With adult dogs, you already know their personality and how they are around other animals and around people. If one shelter or rescue is not very helpful, then find another. The volunteers should be willing to match you up with the perfect dog for your lifestyle.
i found a dog in the trash, im keeping him , but i took him to the vet & the vet told me he’s jack russell mix, well ppl keep telling me he’s mixed with pit bull!. but im told i should get read of him because of this being mix with pit bull !. why is it strongly recommended to stay away from this breed of mix????!!!. he’s very hard to train but to me all dogs are in there own ways!.
People are judgmental. I hope you can use your sweet dog as a way to show people pitbulls are very nice dogs.
