What mixed breed is my dog? Cassie was adopted from the shelter and has had approximately 4 previous owners. Her medical records are spotty, but what I have describes her as any one of the following: a large breed puppy, a Labrador Retriever mix, a Pit Bull Terrier mix, a Boxer mix, or a Staffordshire Terrier mix. Since she has been adopted twice in the 17 months she has been alive, we will never be sure. The shelter chipped her and registered her as brindle Labrador Retriever.

I agree, from the picture the brindle is likely boxer since labs are not brindle unless mixed (none I have ever seen) and with the white painted paws and possibly white on her chest I would say boxer and lab since they called her brindle lab they were probably unsure if she was boxer or pit bull. I've been around all three dogs and I think shes boxer and lab.

I say Boxer/Mix they come in brindle and the feet have Boxer markings too. If you really want to know get a DNA Test.
Boxers , mastiffs, staffies, bull dogs all can also have the brindle marks. face and body look lab like. I'd say lab mix with what I dunno. the DNA test is the only fool proof way to know. good looking pup though.
I have a friend whose dog looks exactly like yours. They paid the $60 for a DNA test, because they were getting a lot of hassle about their dog possibly being a Pit Bull. The results came back 50% Boxer, 50% Greyhound.
I don't think very many breeds have brindle markings, so that should help you narrow things down - Greyhounds, Great Danes, and Pit Bulls are the only ones I can think of off hand. Can anyone think of any other breeds with brindle markings?
