What Breed is My Dog?

I don't know his breed, can anyone help me? The people I got him from said he was a lab/shepherd but I am not sure.

Brian from Dayton, Ohio

I think your puppy might be part Rhodesian Ridgeback. The tail, ears and color remind me of one. But like another person said, a better pic would be most helpful. You might want to do a search on Google images for "Rhodesian Ridgeback" or "Rhodesian Ridgeback mix" and see if they look like your adorable little guy.

Brian, Ichabod says there is definitely lab there, but no Shepard. Need a better pic. Standing up. How tall, feet size, and belly color? Temperament? Just a guess, but, something from the hound family. All good though. Great dog.

I would guess pitbull and lab. Depending on the size.

I think there is a 3rd breed in the mix, some sort of hound - maybe dachshund, but I can see the lab and shepherd. There just seems to be more from his ears and markings/color.

I don't know but he sure is cute! I'd keep him no matter what!

He looks kinda like a doxie/dachshund because of the tail. Mixed...with pit bull?

What a cutie. You can purchase a dna kit from Jeffers for about $60 that should give you the answer.
