we think he probably has some st. bernard in him. Here are a few more up to date pictures of him. He is 3 months old here.

How much will he weigh? Wait until he reaches 6 months old. That weight will be 1/2 to 3/4 of his adult weight.
As for his mix, take a close look at your shelters and see which breeds are most popular in your area. For example, in my area, Pitbulls are extremely popular. Ergo, almost every mix that we get probably has Pitbull somewhere in them.
Also, whoever "bred" him docked his tail. That tells me that he probably has a traditionally docked breed in his pedigree, like a Boxer. However, his ears aren't the right natural Boxer ears. His ears and his thick coat remind me of a Labradors. So, for now, I would say Boxer/Labrador, but I'm almost sure he's got multiple breeds in him. I would wait for him to grow older, look at his height, look at his weight, see what breeds are in your local shelters, and then decideAnd re-post for us!
You know, he does resemble a St. Bernard, but I have real hesitations about a Saint because they're not too popular and I don't know how many stray, intact St. Bernards there are running around in your area. So, check out what's in your area!
He looks an awful lot like fawn/white Pitties:

I don't think lab, but thanx for the info about waiting untill he is 6 months of age. I never knew that before but now that you mention it, it does make since. I do think that he may have a little bit of pit in him. I think they are pritty much the most popular breed in america and they are ALWAYS in the pound when I stop by. I also think that what ever his parents are, they may have been bred on perpose because of his docked and he was brought in alone and the workers told me that the person who brought him in seemed to know the exact age so they think that maybe they just told them he was a stray so they wouldn't have to pay a fee. Saints really arn't that popular around here but there are some around... It's just so hard to tell what he has in him because some dogs that are mixed, you can't even see some of the breeds that are in them
How cute is that little guy!
I would go with a boxer or an american bulldog. You never know. You could take him to your nearest vet and he should be able to tell![]()

I did... even the vet was stumped, haha! He just said he didn't know but he's gonna be a big boy and even he would like to know what he is
I wouldn't be so quick to cross of Lab from your list. They are extremely popular/common and they, like Pitties, tend to show up a lot in mixes.
Here's a pic of a Pittie/Lab mix for comparison:
If he were lab, that would explain his "chunky" legs. Boxers and Pitties have spindly legs. Labs tend to give their mixes "stocky" legs. But the best thing is to wait until he's full grownWe could all be wrong!
I say who cares what breed he is.His eyes are just mesmerizing to me. He is so darn handsome!!!
Yeah, wait until he is a little older and you might even see a different breed we didn't even mention come out in him.
Please keep us updated on his growth so we can see too.![]()
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
