He is an adorable Heinz 57!!! Just like my childhood pal, Smokey was .... a GREAT dog! ;)
I see rodesian ridge back in him. Does he have any funny hair on his spine? He is adorable.
Maybe shar-pei? Shiba inu?Quote:

Whatever he is, he sure is cute! :D
I don't see any spaniel, but I think it's possible he has some sort of terrier in him...
He is such a cutie! I see some Lab in him, as well. Though can't be too much or he'd be bigger. Whatever he is, I like him.
He is a beautiful Heinz 57! He's definitely favoring the Lab genes, but you never can tell what all the rest may be! For all we know that could be a Beagle sitting there :p ;) I never did find out what my mutt was, either, and she is quite a lovely mix if I do say so myself. :) Happy early birthday, Dante!
I vote lab-sharpei. He resembles my RB dog Rosco a bit in some of the pics. Rosco was sharpei-pit.

I can definitely see the possiblity of shar-pei in him, looking back over the pics.Quote:

When I looked a second time, I noticed the curly-Q tail that could come from shar-pei
Whatever he is, he's a sweetheart. I am always guessing at the breeds in mutts too. I still don't know what else is in Tasha as the shelter said neither of her parents were purebred but that she is supposed to have shepherd and some greyhound in there.. They also had springer spaniel listed but unless it goes way back, I don't see that in her at all. Her temperment is much more a combo of greyhound/shepherd traits, but she also has to have some mid-sized breed in her as well since she's 45 pounds, though a lean leggy thing for sure. Perhaps she even has some shar-pei in her somewhere. She does resemble this pretty boy a bit. :)
with a curl tail he could have some chow mix in him i had a dog that was lab chow but her tail was fluffy. he is beautiful:D
Oh he sure is handsome! :D I was thinking Shar-Pei as well, once you mentionned the wrinkles and the tail. I would also vote for Lab/Pei mix. :)
Hmm, that lab/pei mix thing could be close. He's got the extra skin for it......How big are they normally? (shar-pei?)

If he has some Lab in him, I'd say that it is possible to be a little heavier or taller.Quote:

Could be Akita fron the tail, What color is his tongue?

Ah, he's so damn cute! We were thinking of getting him a buddy, but trying to find one like him going to be difficult!
Whatever he is, he's adorable! I vote for the Lab/Pei mix too. :D
