AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the characteristics of dogs, particularly focusing on the significance of paw size in predicting future growth. A user shares a video of a Cock-a-poo, highlighting its loud barking and playful nature. They reminisce about a previous Cocker Spaniel that acted as a protector. The conversation shifts to the idea that puppies with large paws are likely to grow into larger dogs, while those with smaller paws may remain smaller, especially in mixed breeds. This is supported by personal anecdotes, including one about a large American Softcoated Wheaten Terrier and another about a chocolate lab with disproportionately large paws. Overall, the thread emphasizes the relationship between paw size and expected adult size in dogs, along with the joy of pet ownership.

It's a cute dog.
 
My girlfriend has a Cock-a-poo (half Cocker, half Poodle) and his barks can split one's eardrums! Her old Cocker Spaniel (Dynamite for short) was a protectorate of mine (from Lois Armstrong, the Cock-a-poo, who would shriek right into her ear).
 
It's a canine.
 
Beagles seem to have a thing for distant sirens we can't often hear.
 
She's a cutie. The big paws foretell future growth!

Is that true? I had a very large Am. Softcoated Wheaten Terrier that died, oh, 1,5 years ago. She had enormous paws as a pup.

When a pup has huge feet, it's a pretty good indicator that they will have to grow into them. If a pup has small feet (especially handy indicator for mixed-breeds) they will probably not grow up to be very large dogs. Even if they look to have a hound-shepherd background, if they have small feet, they'll probably end up being 30-35# or so when they are grown.
 
That is adorable, I hope you and your fur friend, have many years of happiness.

I depends on the breed, too. My chocolate lab had enormous feet as an adult, complete with webbed toes of course :biggrin:. Despite being ~95 lbs she never grew her body to be in the correct proportion, they always looked preposterous. Strangers would comment on their size.
