~~**OMG**~~ We found this dog today.

[veegan]

At the risk of sounding arrogant, lol! I do know a lot about dog breeds, (its a hobby of mine! lol) and I definately think shes rottie mix. Her face is very much rot, and shes got that bulky build starting.

Dobes are very tall and lean and have a very long muzzle, they are pretty much the opposite build of rotties. But they do both come black and tan & are fairly popular breeds. Actually Rotties are in the top 10 breeds in the U.S. if I remember correctly.. Im thinking they are 8th.. But I could be wrong. lol This according to AKC registration that is.

And your right Katz, its highly unlikely that shes a mix of that breed, its very rare and is probably only found in its country of origin. It is very possible however, that that breed might have Rottie as one of the breeds that were used to make it, or a similar breed. Rotties are an old breed, and I *think* they were used to make the Doberman! Also, I doubt anyone that would have a rare breed like that in the U.S. would be careless with it because they probably spent a lot of money to get it! hehe

"same lines of separation from tan to black and everything!"

Yeah, thats just because thats what the black and tan colouring looks like though. Its the same on all black & tan coloured dogs.

And a min pin is WAY too tiny to breed with a large breed!

BUT I supposed theres really no way to be 100% sure!! I could be wrong! And Im not trying to sound like "NOPE youre ALL wrong! And Im right!" LOL But personally I think all the signs point to Rottie; colouring, build, features, and popularity.

But despite all that, we can all agree she certainly is ADORABLE!! She just looks so content in this picture:
