Breed guesses for Midnight?

[Sunnierhawk0]

I almost wanna say I see a little bit of Boxer.... maybe just a TAD in the head.

If his mom is definitely a spaniel, then he would HAVE to be crossed with something of a heavier build than a pointer IMO, to get that bulk. I agree that it would be easy to ILP him as a lab.

But.. what exactly is a pointer? I thought it was a bunch of breeds, like we say "pit bulls" or "retrievers."

The thing is, he's half the size (in the chest, and body in some cases although labs vary) of nearly every lab I've ever seen, except the field breds. Dane? IMO not a chance unless it's pretty far back. He's about at my knees. All the dane mixes I've ever seen have taken after their Dane parts and gotten tall.

Yep, mom's accounted for. That's why I stress it, LOL! Because I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it and his sibs.

He just looks nothing like any Labradors I usually see. The face is completely different, as is the build and size...

Thank you all so much for the variety of answers! I think I'll just stick w/ calling him a Springer mix. Can you imagine me reciting all these breeds to people?

[doberkim]

if hes that short (he looks MUCH bigger in his pics, i think that is what is deceiving us!) then i would put my money on a pittie. i looked at your other thread that had more pics, and i would say pittie and springer mix.

I really do see Dane in him... if his mom was a small springer spaniel, there is a chance that the dad could've had Great Dane in him.

[noludoru]

His dad was smaller than he is, as well, though.

I agree with you, I can definitely see some resemblance in the lines of his face. But I just don't know.

[SisMorphine]

I see Pointer

[Lizmo]

Wow, he is small! I'd still bet my money on some dane/lab in his lines.

[Dekka]

He looks soo much like the labs I see here in the obedience ring. A bit heavy for the ones I see in agility..I will see if I can find some pics. Oh and these dogs aren't at the top end of the lab height either. So I still stand by if you ever want to compete..you could with him as a lab.

From a dane person, I'm not seeing any dane in him. I'm not sure what he might be mixed with (he's gorgeous by the way) but I'm pretty sure it's not dane.

Doesn't it drive you nuts not knowing?
