Rare Hybrid, See if you can guess the breeds!

We saw pics of the mom and she was alllll Rottie. She looked to be pretty big too. We did not, however, get a pic of dad so we have to take it on the word of the family who had them.

Now, I have found one other set of pictures online of this same mix of breeds.
They are on Flickr here. If you go to the second page he has some pics of Kali when she was a puppy, and pics fo her litter to. They definitley look like our girls. Also gives me some idea how big they might get too.

As a side note, my Dad made a good joke when I told him about the pups. I told him the mix and he said "Well the mom would have to be the Rott. I don't think it would have worked the other way around."

It's funny, in the first picture you posted, her eyes and expression say "Greyhound" to me, but in the older pictures you posted, I don't see it nearly as much. Let me get Shais_mom over here, I bet she'd see the same, as a former Greyhound owner!

I was going to guess greyhound and ridgeback. Rottie is definatly a shock. They sure are cute.

I know this is a little off subject but, as for being a "rare hybrid" that is the last thing I want to hear.

True, but it sounded a little better in my head than "Strange Muts".

There's nothing wrong with Mutts, if you don't like that word, then you can say they are mixed breeds.

Technically speaking... a Hybrid is a mix of 2 different species, so there is no such thing as a Hybrid when you're talking about a dog that is mixed with different breeds of dog.

Or as a former co-worker was fond of saying, his dog wasn't a mutt it was a multiple-pedigree.

The first thing that came to mind for me was whippet/greyhound, some type of sight hound anyway. I can see rottie in her as a younger pup, but not the recent pics. I've seen plenty of rottie puppies though, so maybe it's just easier to see. I wouldn't have guessed rottie though...
