Help - What is my puppy?

[ryley0618]

Hi - I just adopted a 5 month old puppy. I was told at the shelter he is a Lab/Chow mix. But I have a 5 year old Lab/Chow mix & he has the purple tongue. This new puppy does not. He has a very pink tongue. His body has flat wavy hair - but his head has what we call an afro and it has a curl to it. He also has a little white on his chest & toes. I am thinking Lab/Newfoundland mix. He has big feet & at 5 months weighs in at 40 pounds.

Any ideas???



Thank you,
Colleen

As soon as I saw the first picture I thought, as well, it looks very much like a newfoundland. But it may also be a lab/chow it just might not have gotten the purple tonge it may have gotten the pink tonge from the lab or newfoundland. It's really cute

He definetley doesn't look like a Lab/Chow to me! His ears tell me he has Border Collie. And his body and fur tell me he has Newfoundland. But I don't know about his tongue? Maybe he has a little bit of Chow Chow in him.

He definetly looks like a newfoundland to me! My neighbor has one and he looked just like that when he was a puppy! I say he has newfie in him!

You'll be able to tell more when your pup is full grown. I had a chow mix dog and the hair didn't become thick and heavy until after a year. Whatever, you've got a beautiful pet on your hands. Congrats!
