Thread: Dog Breeds?

Here's 2 pups, any ideas on the breed(s) they may have in them?

I found these poor creatures out in the middle of nowhere on feb 8th. I'm deworming them and ordering shots. I'd be willing to allow them to be adopted into a kind loving home

info on the page.

FUD

FUD, the black one is probably part Rottweiller or Doberman. The yellow guy is probably part lab and judging from the size of his jaw, maybe part Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). Cute little guys!

I'm a former dog owner. They are awesome creatures. No time or patience anymore for another.

-Rob

I couldn't start to guess a breed on the black one. I'll agree with Robert that it might be a doberman or rottweiler based on facial features, but I can't see enough of the body to guess. I would agree the yellow one definitely looks like a lab. They are both very cute.

I agree with lab and rotwieller based on the looks. But they were together and probably siblings, so my guess is just plain ole mutt. Plain ole mut is my favorite, after I am just a mutt.

I also have a stray that I dewormed, got shots, de-flead and etc. My hat is off to you for having the heart to rescue this fine pair. If I did not have my Toby boy, I would take them off of your hands.

I hope that you find a good home for them. Good idea to show them on this forum--hope it pays off.

Is the black one a female? They look like rotweiler lab puppies to me. The only reason I as about the sex is that rotweiler females tend to have smaller heads.

the black one definitely has a lot of rotty in him/her, and the yellow one has about equal mix lab and pitbull in him/her. Probably some other breeds in the one that has rotty, but the second may just be lab and pitbull.

They're both female. Also, something interesting here I'm not sure what to make of it. They were both the exact same size when I picked them up but the black one has gotten longer than the other while the redbone has gotten somewhat stockier than the other

The mix is not always equal. Sometimes it depends on what order they were born. But if they were about the same size when you found them they are most likely siblings. I remember my brother had a chow/rott mix. about half the puppies got large 1/4 with short hair, while the other half were short and stubby with long hair like a chow.

Assume for the moment they're rott/lab mix. Is it possible for one dog to take on the rotweiller colors and lab lankiness while the other takes on the lab colors and the rottweiller stockiness? I'd assume they'd be a bit more mixed in coloration.

Also, what's the risk to children. Aren't Rotweiller's a risk around children, and wouldn't this bleed into the personalities of the mixed pups?

Tough question...because there are so many variables. It depends on the character/nature of the dog, How well the owners train them...and if the children are taught what to do...and what NOT to do.
Rotty's have a very strong independent nature...and can require extra attention while their growing..and you must be consistent in their training.
Rotty's are also very protective of their families, including the kids. I knew a family with a Rotty..male, weighed about 80# or so...the kids were riding him in the back yard like a pony, and he was lovin every mi. of it.

The big question these days is home owner's insurance. In our state..they won't insure you...might want to check into that too. (and some will deny you even if they're mixed)

Ohh I usually hang out on another thread...but saw the Dog topic..I'm a big animal person...used to work at a Veterinary Clinic.
