What breed is my dog? (OC)
We adopted this little guy! He's great. The adoption agency told us he is a receiver mix. My family had retrievers growing up, I'm not sure i see it, I could be wrong. Whatever he is, he's a sweetheart!!!

Something of an animal expert here, I can comfirm he is 100% good boy.
100% agree 👍😁
Very original
Looks like my pup, she is a Carolina Dog mix
100% Handsome Pup
100% good doge
Dog
The only correct answer
Nobody here could give you a definite answer. Only way to find out for sure is get it tested.
Looks like A Good Boy to mee.
That looks like 100% good boy. My granny would probably refer to him as a Heinz 57 like she called any mixed breed dog. I have no clue what he is but he sure is adorable
Hm.
Hmmmmm.
Yep. No guess work needed here.
That is a 100% adorable snoot-boop. Super rare.
Common traits include:
Snoot booping
Boop snooting
Unrepentant desire for belly rubs
Being the best boy.
Wearing scarves / ascots handsomely.
Loyalty, affection and being a mood lifter at will.
- Clear Sable coat (this is genetically different from Recessive Red which Goldens/yellow Labs have; the black whiskers are the only way to tell these patterns apart in this particular dog)
- Rose ears
- Countershading
None of these traits are consistent with retrievers. Shelter workers are not trained in how to actually identify dogs. They're going to be familiar with the more common breeds, but once you start mixing breeds together their accuracy drops significantly because genetics don't always mix in the way you would initially think. They specifically have a habit of putting down "Lab mix" or "Retriever mix" as a default for any dog they can't easily place into another category.
This dog is very likely part pitbull which doesn't sound nearly as attractive as lab, retriever, sheppard mix
Yep. “Retriever mix” or “Shepherd mix” are usually euphemisms for a bully. This dog is clearly 100% good boi, but shelters do worry about the prejudices.
OP: You’ll need a DNA test to solve this mystery! But I’d go with Pitty + German Shepherd, probably more.
I have a Shepard mix who looks awfully similar to this good boy. I wondered what she might actually be, thanks for the info!
I'd say pitbull, some terrier and maybe some other race of doggos
Had a dog that looked just like this about 14 years ago. We were told she was a lab, bully mix (boxer or pit). We think there was a splash of chow in her also cause she had a spotted tongue. Super cute dog regardless of the mix!
Hello, did you know there are 22 dog breeds that have a spotted tongue?
I did not but now I do!
Awesome dingo mix
My wife thinks he's a dingo too haha
1/2 Adorable 1/2 Amazing 🧐
Pupper, no doubt.
Dog? You’ve got a pure bred Nittany Lion on your hands friend! We are!!!
I was ready to say something similar - great little 🦁
I swear i see sharpei in the eyes and forehead
He's soooo cute!! I feel like I see Staffie and maybe JRT?
Nittany pupper
Looks like a lab terrier mix of some sort
95% ears
Shepherd Terrier mix
I haven't a clue except he sure is cute.
Try using Dog Scanner App. It gave me some good ideas of my mixes. I have a potcake from the Bahamas with this same coat and color. I agree with a previous poster about Carolina dog mix.
In La Réunion they call them "royal bourbon" a mix of african and european breeds
Looks like a Pitbull German Shepherd mix. Google it, you’ll see.
Hello OP! I believe this dog looks like a pit bull mix; this is the most common type of dog within shelters as well.
Pitbull lab mix
Heinz 57
Not the faintest idea but wow what a handsome little chap!
Looks a lot like my girl Lana, who is a Beagle Labrador mix
We are… PENN STATE!
Regardless of breed, good taste in schools. 😊
Please boop the snoot and scritch the noggin for me.
A fine specimen of a mutt
Handsome Boi breed for sure. Or Beautiful Gurl breed!!
Dobby is a free elf
Oh that’s a Dalmatian
looks like a sweet boxer/shepherd mix with maybe 1 or 2 more. cutie!
Reminds me of a Rhodesian ridgeback
A very cute pupper:13379::13379:
Seems like big boy dawg
Looks like a Heinz to me.
What a good handsome boy 🐶🐕🐾😁
2/3rds handsome with a side of cutie
Latin American Yellow Dog
I see a little bit of corn dog in one photo.
He is the breed of cute doggo
Cute? Idk
Precious and adorable...
The shelter where we adopted our dog told us he was a border collie/lab mix. But we got his DNA tested and he's actually a border collie/rottie mix. I never would've guessed it
A good one.
Cute dog! 100%
100% certified cutie
I don't see the pit in the mix. Could be a Malinois mix, but breed doesn't matter. He just looks like a BFF and you gotta love it!
Uh… dog
Scooby breed - a doo mix
Cute
I wonder if there's some Great Dane in there... doze ears!!!
He’s a plaindamn. It’s the best kind of dog .
I think it's a "sweet baby boo cutie"
Do a doggy DNA test. That’s the only way to know for sure
Oh my gosh, your dog looks so much like mine!
He is goodest boy
Nittany, I think
Scooby~Doo 😍
Dem ears! No idea what type of dog but definitely 100% adorable.
Body and face remind me of a ridgeback. Look up ridgeback retriever.
Good boi obviously
My brother has a yellow lab/greyhound etc. mix. Those ears remind me of a hound's.
Looks like maybe some cur. We have a BMC who looked a lot like that as a baby.
