Help! I want to figure out what breed my puppy is...
- Thread starter BMPowers
- Start date
Right...
Innova - Missed the I...
Ok, this is funny because I posted the exact same thing yesterday on this very forum and said what the mom and dad are and get completely different replies...
The Mom was a German Shepherd with some Lab in her who weighed about 40 pounds and has the same coat/look as Lois Lane - my puppy's name. The dad was an Aussie...
She does have a long body, but that's the only visual I get from her as far as seeing a dachsie... Her legs are quite a bit longer than a dachsies (even a full grown one), her hind quarters remind me of a german shepherd and her face does too. She doesn't have dachsie ears, either. She runs like a lab.
I was expecting a medium size dog, around 40 pounds. Hopefully that's what I get. Her legs are twice as long now as they were when she was 8-9 weeks old so hopefully that is a good sign for some height.
I've found quite a few pictures that claim that the dog is a lab/shepherd mix... Do you think she will look like a combination of these dogs?
These are all listed as small shepherd lab mixes and look just like her but grown up.
She has been growing at the rate of about a pound and a half per week since she was 8 weeks old. She only weighed 3 pounds at 8 weeks but was also the runt of the litter. They hard to pull the other dogs away in order to get her to nurse.

I still see a little doxie in her face, with some shepherd tossed in.
It is possible for a litter to be fathered by more than one dog, so unless the owners of the female are *absolutely* certain that the Aussie (which i don't really see in your puppy, except for maybe the ear set) was the only male dog around, she very well could have some Dachshund.

I've had Dachshunds for a long time, and besides the long body and relatively short legs---I don't see any. My guess would've been a Lab/GSD mix, mixed with a small or medium sized breed of some sort. I personally don't see any Aussie in her at all either. But then again, she could have some Aussie in her as a lot of mixes aren't totally obvious (for ex, my Tango is a Toller/BC cross but only I seem to be able to see the Border Collie in her. Most people think she's a Golden/GSD cross). If the owners of her parents said that they were Lab/Aussie and a GSD then she could very well be a mix of that, who knows. Rarely can anyone tell for certain what a mixed breed dog is just by looking at it. Especially since she's only a puppy..
