Take a look at this dog....?

well, I guess I'll show you the un-photoshopped version of this pic:

I'm just always so confused and I get Dalmatian a lot just because of his spots.

NOW- I see dalmation.. I was wondering where the pigment in the spots went if he were part Dalmation. Thats a strong gene- and would easily carry to the genetics of the pups..

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Honestly, I see very, very little to no Dalmatian in him at all. His body style doesn't say Dal to me at all, and his "spots" are much more like ticks.

That is exactly why I "dodged" off the 'spots'. Everyone sees the ticks and just stops there. They don't reilize there are so many breeds that have tickmarks/spots. Almost all terriers can, including APBT. We think there may be some or part ACD there. My mom always says no because she thinks he came from the inner city.

He's cute--I'd have to say lab and shepherd mix or either dalmatian and shepherd mix..

ACD x maybe a bit of Labrador .

I think he looks like an ACD/Pittie mix. His body shape looks very much ACD and Pittie put together, and his ticking could come from the ACD side.

I personally see no dalmation in him at all.

You know, I don't know why this never dawned on me before, but his markings remind me a lot of an English Setter. Perhaps ES/Lab and ACD? His tail and face scream Lab/ACD to me, and it just now occurred to me that maybe his particular markings come from an ES rather than a Dal.

Mixes are odd Look at Ivy. Dobie/Lab at a petite 45 pounds

OoOoOo... he could be part ES! I'm not positive, but I think long hair is recessive, which could explain the smooth coat.

I always thought he was ACD x Lab. My friend has a Border Collie x ACD with the same ticking pattern, just with a few more black patches. His body type and ear-set seem to be right in between an ACD (stocky, prick-eared) and a Lab (lean, drop-eared).
