    Anyone have a Shepherd/pitt mix?

    We don't know what Grommit is for sure. He's got the shepherd in him (we're pretty sure), but depending on who you ask, the other part is either Boxer or "pit bull". He's apparently got some "Boxer traits", but we adopted him from a pit rescue. You can see his more adult photo here (in the...
