breed of puppy?

[Karen]

She certainly looks like she could be pure Lab to me, that sweet blocky head, and nice shiny fur! Don't let the one white patch fool you, it is considered a fault in show dogs, but can happen. Only time, and what she looks like full grown, will yield more clues.

She is a beauty, and obviously now well-loved!

Welcome to Pet Talk, Emma!!
I agree with Karen, she looks like a full beautiful black Labrador Retriever!
But, her sweet face is a little more blocky, definitely not Doberman Pinscher (they have long, narrow, almost pointy snouts), but I almost think I see Mastiff in her face, especially in the second picture. Has the been to the vet yet, if so, did they tell you how much she weighs? If you gave us her age and weight, then I might be able to tell if a larger breed is mixed in her. Labrador puppies normally weigh between 12-15 lbs at * weeks, if I recall. Whatever she is, she's cute.

How old is the puppy? Name?

She almost looks like she has a shar pei head. You'll have to see what she grows into. White patches are faults and can be a sign of cells not getting to where they need to be while the baby is developing in the uterus (only in certain breeds where white patches aren't part of the coat genetics). A small white patch shouldn't be enough to worry, but you definately should spay her when she's old enough.

She looks all lab to me. Too cute. Irescue a lot of purebred pups have wrinkly heads. Doesn't make them shar pei.

She definitely has a lot of lab in her but something about her face says she's not full breed. But who cares she is a beauty.

I see no wrinkles to remind me of shar pei. What does make me think sharpei is the hippo shaped head with the small nose and round eyes. Its probably just the angle of the picture though.
