I have a Doggie Dilemma...what should I do?

Ok..its a long story but I will make it as short as possible. I need some ADVICE!!

I work at a dog kennel, and the owners of a wonderful Great Pyreneese have spent many thousands of dollars on this dog. I am almost positive that the dog was bought purely on impulse..they walked into PETLAND and walked out with a pup...now a year later the owners (who are from Taiwan) have boarded him for continuously 4 .5 months, when the owners got back to the States, they had an eviction notice to move out...so ..the dog was to remain here..I absolutely fell in love w/the dog!! I had offered dog sitting him in my home, but they said they were not sure what they were going to do with the dog. AHHH ..I came into work today and the dog was gone, the owners just handed over the leash to a dude, that want him for breeding to his mastiff. GRRR!!! My co-workers told me that the new owner called for the dogs vet records.and proceeded to tell them that his dogs have a skin condition, and one of his dogs died from it..mange maybe? ..
Well..as you can see the Great Pyreenese is going to have a shittyass life! He is most likely to be an outside chained dog..bred from crappypuppymill lines and over populate the area with More unwanted dogs, not to say that the Pyr has had ear problems (needed his ears flushed out) and will most likely have more ear prob. in the future.
What am I supposed to do?? I want to put the Pyr in a breed specific rescue, which if the previous owners had told me they were looking for a new home for him would have told them,and helped him be placed.
I feel so bad, this wonderful dog is going to turn into a mean old monster...

HELP ME!!

I have done some investigating, and I know where the dog is...anyone want to break the law with me and steal this dog?? I am terrified to do it though...
There is no ASPCA around here :(
Alei.. I live in South East Ohio. U can email me.

Answer
Hun, I'd jump any number of fences and shoot any amount of outback rednecks to get this dog for you, believe me.

You can do one of three things, you can

(a) Steal the dog
(b) BUY the dog
(c) LIE about the dog. Tell the guy that he has Epididymitis, and can't produce sperm. Make up SOMETHING.

I personally would try all three, with C being the first. B being the second, and A being the last (but wait a while before trying A, don't let this guy know too much about you!).

ADD> I live just under Cincinnati- lets go get us a dog!

Boxer size?

emma

I have seen different sizes for every breed of dog but there is usually a standard size, with boxers, i have only seen the big, muscular ones until i came to the US and found the smaller, more delicate body.I'm also asking this b/c alot of people have told my that my German Shepherd mix is part boxer but i cannot see how that is possible since her snout is not all the way in and stocky like boxers.

Answer
Boxers in the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan & Great Britian are similar (leaner, more refined looking: some even have earned Championship titles in several of these countries to be International Champions), but in Germany, Holland & some other countries they are still bred to be very stocky, more barrel chested & "bulldoggy", like they were when originally developed as a breed.

There is a breed standard for each country's type with the most reputable kennel club registry, such as this for the USA: http://www.akc.org/breeds/boxer/index.cfm The breed standard sets limits on size (among many other things) that good breeders follow as a guide in deciding on mates. Unlike some other breeds (such as with Schnauzers), there is only ONE size - no division into miniature, standard & giant. In the USA, that is to be 21&1/2 to 25 inches - anything under or over is an undesirable fault. Because of the breed's current popularity, irresponsible backyard breeders & puppy mills, there are many less than stellar breed specimens in abundance.

By the way, some breeders in the USA adhere to the German type, particularly the ones who breed for Schutzhund ( http://iupucbio2.iupui.edu/bml/shutzhundboxer.html )& other 'working' dogs. Around the Cincinnati, Ohio area (which has a high percentage of German descent people), you generally see more German-type ones, for instance.

Being a mix, your dog may take more characteristics in it's head shape from the GSD than the Boxer & not get the short muzzle - or, she may not even have any Boxer in her. It's all guesswork with mixes, unless you knew one or both parents!
