OK,

Here's the deal. I found some people who were giving away their puppies from a litter they had. The mother was part lab, part australian sheep dog, and the father was mostly German Shepherd.

Now, my puppy, hopefully pictured below, doesn't look anything like those breeds - maybe a little Lab...

The litter was 5 males and 2 females. The females were identicle. This puppy was the runt of the litter. The rest were a little larger, and all of the boys had much darker coats.

Any of you have any idea what kind of dog this is? I was hoping for a medium sized dogs based on the breeds of the parents, but I keep getting comments about a certain kind of dog - I won't mention which so as to not sway anyone, but what are your thoughts?

My pups name is Lois Lane, by the way.

I have been able to find a ton of photos on google images that look just like her under "lab mix" "shepherd mix" and "lab shepherd mix" but evidently, most people don't know the breeds of their dog.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, well... You can't upload pictures as far as I can tell unless they are already online. So, if you think you could help me out, shoot me an e-mail to the address below and I will e-mail you back some different angled pictures.

THanks so much!

Here is a Shutterfly account with the pics, just click on the link

To post a picture go to www.imageshack.us and upload a picture. When it's done "copy" the last link. When you click on the reply button in this thread you'll see a little yellow square with a mountain on it, click it and "paste" your pictures link in it then click OK. :)

I think imageshack is better, some people like kase are having trouble with all photobucket pictures and she can't see any of them. But there are many different image hosting sites out there. :)

What kind of dog is this?

She is 12 weeks old, weighs 7.5 lbs to 8 lbs.

Her mother and father were German and Australian Shephers with some Lab... But I don't know if I see it... Do you all?

I have no idea but she is adorable :D I would think if she had german shepherd and lab in her she would weigh a lot more than that....:D
I have a supposedly shepherd/lab mix and she weighed 19 pounds at 12 weeks :D

Yeah...

That's what I would have thought too - I saw the mom of this pup and they looked a lot alike, but the Mom was a good, medium sized dog.

:( I don't know...

idea?

Any idea how big she will be? She is already 12 weeks old and only weighs 8 pounds... Doesn't that seem small for those mixes?

She was the runt in her litter, do you think that may have something to do with it? She's also female. Is your dog a boy? I am interested to find out what a 25 pound shepherd/lab will look like...

woah

In three weeks she grew that much? She looks tiny at 9 weeks. how much does she weigh there? Lois is steadily growing about a pound a week, maybe a little more.
