Hey all,
Here is a pic of my new 8 week old pup 'Indie' Now I was curious to know what you all think she is crossed with? I know the mother was a German shepard, husky, labrador x. But unknown is the father? :confused: Any Ideas, I'm thinking either a doberman or a rotti, but I was wondering what you think. Let me know :D

Maybe Rottie. I'm not real good at this either.

Hehe, that's a hard one. There are many mixed breeds in shelters that look like your pup, including my dog when she was a puppy. It's really hard to tell at this age.
I easily see many breeds in your pup.

Hey all,
Thanx for the replies! I looked on the net and came up with this pic, so I think it confirms what daddy was. But hey she might look completley different when shes older! But it does make ya wonder!

There's certainly a possibility she has Doberman in her... But I personally don't think so. It's a bit early to tell, anyway. I think Rottweiler, I can just see it in her face.
Edit.. WELCOME to Chaz Sandman! Stick around, okay? :) When your pup is six months to a year old we will be able to see what is in her a lot better.

I will definately stick around with all the horror stories, just last night she chewed a whole toilet roll up! lol She's pretty good really, actually she came from a friend of my bf. The guy only wanted $20 ech for the pups so he could get the mum speyed. She had her first lot of vaccinations and a check up last week, wasn't too impressed about the thermometer i can tell you! I just got a speech from dad about her being on the good carpet oops :)

I haven't a clue on her breed, but she sure is adorable!! I love mixed breeds- you never know what you're going to get!

Besides the coloring I really don't see the Doberman. Not sure what he is, most likely such a massive mix that at this age it's impossible to tell :)

There are quite a few breeds that have the black and tan markings :) but I dont see dobie in him either...
regardless of what he is, he is a cutie :)

Really cute! Those big paws and wide, strong cheeks.....I imagine Rottie in the background, personally. But who knows? At any rate, it looks like you might have your hands full.....that expression! LOL. Brace yourself for what I predict to be a rambunctious pup. Learn as much as you can about behavior and training because if he's anything like a Rott or Dobe, you're going to need it. LOL. He really is very cute looking. Congrats.
We might be able to get a better idea as the pup grows, but for now, he's just adorable!

I am also thinking Rottie, he looks a bit wide set to me to be Dobie.

She's a little cutie, I'd say X rottie. It's over a month since you posted the pics has she changed any?

Indie is now 3 months old, she has grown alot! I don't think the pics actually show how much lol. Her legs are longer...shes cheekier then ever lol. Here are some recent ones. I found out yesterday that she has alot of breeds in her family! Husky, malamute, labrador, german shepard...but the dad is still unknown...
I had to post this one, its too cute not to! lol

Not sure if you can tell how much she has grown in this one.

First, as to what I think-- she's adorable.
As to her breed-- I'm even more confused now. I can barely see any traces of the dogs you mentioned in her, and I can see the argument for Rottweiler but she doesn't even look much like a Rottweiler puppy.
I'm maintaining my such a hodgepodge of breeds that I'll withhold judgment till she's older/reserve the right to never venture a true guess :)

Her breed is... ADORABLE!! lol. :)
I have a feeling the dad was a mix of a few breeds too. I'd tentatively say the coloring is comming either from a rottie or a dobie but there isn't much of either when it comes to her face or body yet (leaning towards the dobie due to the pointed tips of her ears). When she's full grown you may have a better idea. I think the other breeds (especially the lab) took over a little more in the way she's made up. Keep the pics comming as she gets older :) She sure is a cutie! It is pretty crazy how, in the pic of her beside the dobie puppy, her chest and leg markings are pretty much identical!...besides the little bit of white...weird
