I'd guess Viszla/Shepherd mix. I only put the Shepherd in after seeing her coloring better in the second and third photo, the first she looks completely Viszla. The wrinkly forehead is pure Viszla with that red-gold coloration!

[Jessika]

I kind of see some pittie in her, especially in the first and last picture linked. Her head seems very broad, but not like a Lab.

I would also say some type of shepherd (perhaps German) by the looks of her dark speckled tail. Is her hair coarse?

[Giselle]

I hope I don't sound generic, but pittie/lab is my guess :o It does look like something else is in her, though.

LOL, what kind of dog is Viszla :confused: ... i have never heard of that? yes, Shepherd is what i have been told that she has as well.

i have also been told that as well. however, i thought pitties get bigger? i could be wrong ( probably am) but lab was another breed that someone has said.

If she's a mix though from a medium sized breed she may not necessarily get as big. Labs can be 100lb dogs, too :P

[Giselle]

You have to remember, though, that most mixed breeds come from not-so-standard dogs. Pitties can range anywhere from 25lbs to 80+lbs. Labs can range from 40lbs to over 100.

So if your girl is around 30-40 pounds, it's still very likely that she's a pittie/lab/something else. For example, my girl is doberman/lab. She's only 45 pounds ;)

This is just one of the Vizsla's that have been Dog of the Day!
See her coloring, and her eyes and the wrinkly forehead ...

Your baby doesn't look at all blocky enough to be a pittie mix to me, pitties are usually much stockier, and have a squarer head.

I was searching Dogster and found this dog that looks like your Cinni. I think Pharaoh Hounds are a rare breed, so that being part of her breed is unlikely - but you never know! I would honestly go with Karen, I see Vizsla too, as well as the German Shepherd (because of her coloring). She's gorgeous no matter what breed/s she is.

[AnimalLuver90]

I have no clue what breed she is..but she is very cute.. :D

[AnimalLuver90]

lab/GSD mix :confused:

[Danegirl2208]

I'd say she's along the lines of a Pit bull/Lab mix with something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it...She is a cutie!

to answer you quetion above..No, pit bulls are not supposed to be big. The standard weight for an American pit bull terrier is between 30-60lbs.

[Jadapit]

I agree with the pit bull also. My pit bull Ebony isn't real big, like danegirl said, they aren't supposed to be huge. A lot of the oversized pit bulls have been bred with a mastiff. A true pit bull isn't supposed to look like a hippo. ;)

Catahoula Leopard Dog/Pit.

[lovebugsxo]

She looks to me like she may have some Rhodesian Ridgeback in her to me! Good luck- I know how perplexing it can be to try and guess your dog's lineage! I'm hoping someone out here will help me identify my sweetheart! Here's a pic of the R. Ridgeback! Good luck! :D

[Giselle]

It's just this face that looks so pittie to me:

Perhaps is that red nose, but if you crossed a red nose pittie like this:

with, say, a Shepherd and/or lab, I could definitely see it :)

[dreamparkingspace]

My first thought after looking at all 3 of the pics was beagle/red doberman mix because of its coloring, size, and other features. Then when someone said Vizla I started to think there might be some of that in there as well. Maybe Vizla/Beagle?... I don't know, guessing breeds is hard. I couldn't figure out one of my dogs breed for a long time and we were under the assumption that she was a yellow lab/pitbull mix then later found out she is a yellow lab/shar pei mix from 2 different vets. Here's a pic of her:

(hard to tell her breed especially in this photo)

Here's my other mixed breed dog, but we know she is a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix for sure because we got her from a person who owned the mom (the Border Collie) and her neighbor owned the GS.

I'd say Viszla/shepherd or ridgeback/shepherd maybe with some beagle in the mix. The eyes and liver nose look viszla, but the coat texture looks ridgeback.

Quite a few viszla breeders in Utah, and a few rescues. I'll bet you've got a large supply of viszla mixes in your shelters.

[crazyboutanimals]

wow, :D you guys are great at giving advice, :D i only posted this to get others opinions and it worked great. Thanks, so many of you said some different things about lil Cinni, and too me she is a very pretty pup, i am glad i was able to save her from the previous owner ;) ... i will have to do more research on her to see what i can come up with, but, you all have more insight that will help me with that. some said she is lab mixed, others said she is rottie, and i have never heard of the viszla one before, but, whatever is in her just makes her that more special :D. as she gets older i am sure she will get more defined features.

to answer some of the questions some pointed out ( sorry about names here LOL i am still learning) some asked how big she is she isl just about 40lbs and almost a year old, we are guessing on the age because when we rescued her, they owner was not sure. we have had her since September and she

has really not grown all that much. she has gained weight of course, we keep track of that on a month to month basis.

thanks again for all the comments and suggestions you guys ROCK!!!

[Seravieve]

I like the doberman/beagle mix suggestion.
Would explain 40lbs at 1 year better than my suggestion. =)

I was thinking red dobbie x lab mix. Lab in the sense that she looks like she has a thick coat, and her tail is long a thick like a lab. Dobbie because of the facial markings/colorings. Both are pretty common breeds too.

She's awfully cute!!

[crazyboutanimals]

wow, so it looks like a split so far:
dobbie/lab mix i can see that because like some said, the long thick tail and the coloring too.

the other guesses i am looking into, like i said before i really do not care about what she has in her, i am just glad to have.
