American Bulldog X german shepherd X labrador
Is that really his body? He doesn't look like his body fits. Honestly, his back end and topline screams german shepherd, but his front end says labrador, and his color could be am bulldog.

I thought I'd just let everyone know that I'm saving up (very slowly) for a DNA breed test on him, I'm just TOO curious! That picture is at a funny angle (he was standing on a hill) These pictures shows him better

Okay, yikes. Let me tell you what I KNOW.
It'll be interesting for sure, but don't bet it will be accurate at all. I know several people who are seriously into canine genetics, some submitted samples for the canine genome as well. Some sent blood samples during the 'prototyping' period of the latest breed guessing tests. Results? It got several of the purebreds wrong and introduced breeds into the pedigree of known purebreds -- adding breeds that do not actually exist in the history of those breeds.
It's just a more expensive way of guessing. Since all it will do is tell you if some of the whorls and nicks in the 'fingerprint' resemble some of the other dogs in their very limited database.
Take the hint from the fact that they will not test purebreds nor guarantee that accuracy. Breeders of purebreds could do paternal/maternal DNA tests on a sample as a control, to prove that the parents and pups are pure... then submit those at the same time that a 'breed guessing' test is done. You won't find any serious breeders recommending these tests.
