    When I look again, it looks like he has a darker stripe down his spine. At FIRST glance I thought it was a hint of Rhodesian Ridgeback, but when I enlarged the picture it just looks like a dark stripe

    NO, but he looks sweet enough to eat up. He has the leg shape of my Autumn and the fur type to match. Looks like he has "trousers" developing which is a sure sign he is not purebred. I'd have to make my best guess that this is a boxer/ golden retriever or cocker spaniel.

    The fleshier neck and thicker coat remind me of lab. I wouldn't be surprised if perhaps mom was boxer and dad lab/boxer or something of that nature. He has a lot of boxer traits so I wouldn't be surprised if he was over 50% boxer. The reason I think Mom may have been pure at least is he looks docked and seems to me who ever owned the mom would want to dock the pups if the mom was pure boxer. Or someone bred them thinking both parents were boxers when one was actually a mix.

    Always fun to guess and conjecture. Either way he's absolutely adorable!

    I am almost absolutly sure he is a bull boxer. It is a designer breed. Google it and you can see many more pics of bull boxers. It's also on www.dogbreedinfo.com... but the site is down right now.

    He appears to be mostly Boxer with a little bit of something else in him, possibly lab or even mastiff??? He sure is a handsome fella! Good luck!
