Meet Bim

by Natalia

At the beginning we wanted to have a purebred dog, but once we visited a shelter and saw many wonderful cats and dogs, and how they looked like in the kennels; bored, sad or looking at you with their special looks, we decided to get a dog from the pound. Soon Puppy Pound Rescue had a litter of pit/lab puppies — 3 males and 4 females.

Bim was the biggest puppy of the litter, most playful. Later actions revealed the secret that he was definitely ‘Alpha puppy’ of the litter – first to play, first to eat, always in the middle of the action. This did not change much – he still has energy like a small power plant, curious, ready for adventure, outgoing and friendly.

Breed: Mutt
Place of Birth: Somewhere around Lake Tahoe.
DOB: Probably beginning of December 2007
Nickname: Bemoleh, Bambushka
Likes: Explore new places, play “catch me – if you can” games with other dogs or people, chase rabbits and deer.
Pet-Peeves: When Bim is in the crate and the cat teases him with her fluffy tail walking slowly around the crate
Quirky Tid-bit: Loves fruits: peaches, watermelons, plums, and overall is pretty much everything.
Our Similarities: I think Bim has more similarities with my teenage son, than with me: they both like junk food, both love to play with their friends despite it being not a right time or right place, both need strong, firm discipline.
Trivia: Mutts or mixed breeds are combinations of different breeds — one-of-a-kind dogs with unique looks and characteristics. Mixed dogs are, as their name suggests, a cross between two pure breeds, and it has often been observed that the crossed dog often times acquires the best characteristics from its parents. Mutt’s lineage of course, is much further from purebreds, however they are less likely to get sick and they have less health problems than many purebreds do.
