What Breed Is My Puppy?

What Breed Is My Puppy? - black puppy lying on a tile floorI just adopted a rescue puppy. They said he is a Lab mix. I see Pit in him, but some say no. I am just wondering if he looks like anyone's puppy. He is 16 weeks, and weighs 18.5 pounds and is about 15 inches at his shoulder.

He may be mixed with terrier.

Aww! So cute! I see American Staffordshire Terrier, lab, and hound mix in this sweet baby!

Have you had the vet weigh in? Post back what you learn!

Yes my vet was thinking possibly border collie, lab. , possibly pit or possibly doberman. He said he probably had two mixed parents. He is already very loyal just after 3 days but still very fearful of new things.

He was in a hoarding situation. Very smart. Sits, plays fetch and actually brings the ball back, beginning to like the pool.

Interesting! The vet's usually know and they are looking at things that we can't see in photos, like his teeth, jaw lines, bone structure etc. It is often difficult to tell a pup's genealogy just from a photo.

Boarder collies are so awesome and smart, as are dobies! He probably gets the loyalty and his smarts from both. Labs love water, so maybe that is where he gets that trait.

Poor thing to come from a hoarding situation. Hopefully he will get over his fears as he ages.

We call mixes like your sweetie Heinz 57 pupsters--an amazing mix of ingredients creating a special sauce sweetie!

Blessings and all good wishes to you both!

I see a little Boxer/Lab in him! He will be tall and lovely!

He looks like he is a Lab and Terrier mix. He is adorable and will grow up to be a rather large dog I think.

I believe he has some Lab but with a puppy it is sometimes difficult to tell - just as your vet stated - 2 different mixes for parents and no way to tell what mixes each parent had.

He seems to fit right in with his new surroundings and if he fits what you want in a new friend then 'All American' - 'Heinz 57' seems like a good breed.
Usually this type of mixture is very healthy and since he is smart and lovable what more can anyone ask for?
This type of mixture usually does turn into a larger dog so I hope this is what you were looking for.
He sure looks happy!
I think he has a lot of Lab and that is why he is adapting so readily to your pool. As I'm sure you know, Labs usually love water. I have had 2 'mostly Labs' and they were just wonderful dogs - we still remember them and love to talk about all the days they were with us.

I think his predominate breed will show up more when he gets a little older but I feel sure it will not make a difference in how much he is loved.

Lucky dog - lucky you
Sounds like a winner and that makes him a 'keeper'.

I ran a rescue for years, my best guess is Lab/Terrier mix, with a heavy dose of adorable.

I say Lab Terrier, as well-- Looks like that's a popular vote. What a cutie!
