I am not sure I agree. What do you think?

1. I just think
she really looks like a weimeraner. I could be wrong. That is why I asked for opinions.

2. Weimaraners and Labs are very close
That dog "could be" part lab. Petfinder and others know that Labradors are hugely popular, so they throw it out there a LOT.

a chocolate lab mixed with something else. It's a pretty dog. I'd check it out.

My dog's a lab mix, just not sure with what.

9. She was excited
to have mommy outside with her today. Sometimes I look at her and think Lab/Pit. Not sure and not important since she's such a sweetie.

:hi:

10. no, it really isn't important
what is important is that you love her and that she is happy.

4. Who cares? Those eyes...don't they speak to you? Please, will you be my forever home?
Here's our Snowy, who I found on Petfinder, out playing in her namesake today.

7. yes, those eyes do speak to me
they certainly do. I am going to go take a look, but I was just pondering after looking at just the pictures, and thought..."no way, that is not a labrador mix, that is a weimeraner mix"

just thought I would see what others felt.

8. the brow is too high
and jaws are not wide enough to be a pit bull mix I feel. But I have been known to be wrong about these things.

12. Sweet sweet face. Looks like a lovely dog.
And beautiful. I don't think it matters what the precise mix is. The squared off muzzle has a Weimaraner (sp.?) look to it.

16. A pic of my old Lab near your petfinder pup



The petfinder pup has pitbull eyes but the lab muzzle and ears. He looks like a choc lab and pittie mix to me.

20. Looks Labbish, but hard to tell all the time when they are still puppies.
My dog is a Lab/Redbone Coonhound mix, imagine that dog but red.

Edited on Sun Jan-31-10 05:29 AM by elana i am
some kind of hound or dalmatian. it's face almost says weimaraner, coonhound, vizsla or dalmatian to me. labs tend to have broader heads an narrow muzzles. this dog seems to have a more svelte head shape with the narrow muzzle (although it's foreshortened in the picture). labs also tend to have shorter more pointed tip ears and this dog has longer more rounded tip ears like the wimaraners and coonhounds.

23. There is some Lab somewhere in the family tree, but that
doesn't matter. That's a fine dog who will be a good friend.

25. Chocolate Lab. The most popular dog in my area is the Lab.
Yellow, Chocolate and Black Labs. So many of them look just like this dog. Seeing the full size and shape of the dog would be a help but one look at that loving, smart face tells me it is a young Lab.

31. Definitely.
He's got the lab forehead and his muzzle is too wide for just a Weimaraner.

My money would be on chocolate lab/weimaraner mix.

29. I can't get a good grasp on the size ot it from the pic, but it definitely looks part Lab.
I could see it being a Lab/Beagle mix where it got most of it's coloring from the Lab side.
