I think, l would get too attached to a foster dog and wouldn’t want to let them go!
You're absolutely right - you do get attached, but when you absolutely can't keep them, it still feels good to know you've shown them what a loving home is, and that they're going to be ok in their new home.
The goodbyes always involved tears though.

Is he still teething?
Looks quite Akita-ish in coat do you think?
Both eyes are blue - actually they're more a blue/grey.
And yep, he's still teething. Boy, is he ever!!
His coat actually makes me think of a German Shepherd, as does the colouring on his back, which is tan and black.

His head shape does make me think a bull breed, as Meg mentions below.
I dunno - maybe he's just a combo of all the good breeds!

Chester is lovely..
Husky eyes and I would say a bit of bull breed looking at the shape of the head.
Pleased to hear Mungo has taken to him, as you say it could help with the confidence issue
I think you are going to be busy
Busy for sure this end, but I absolutely enjoy the puppy stage. I love their energy, their innocence, and their joy for life. And all that comes with it.
Yep including the biting, and potty training. Which has been a piece of cake with him - no accidents inside since the second day. Sure hope I didn't jinx that!!

The GSD's do this, the ears go up and down like yo-yo's while they are teething, before they finally stay up properly, and his look like they are on the move to me.
Both ears were up when we got him. The right one has since flopped down. I didn't know GSD's flopped up and down like yoyos! Interesting.
Will be watching Chester's closely, as I do think he has GSD in him.
