What breed is my dog?

Question

Here are some pics of her. She's a 9 month old female. People I got her from, I dont really think they know what she was. They said the father was a boxer, and the mother was either a lab or a border collie. But I dont think they knew. A bunch of people have told me she has pit bull in her. What do you think?

Answer 1

Boxer and Lab definitely! Her brother has definitely a large trait of the boxer with the markings and shape. The brindle colour is also comes from the boxer straits.
A rule in Breeding is.
The Sire (dad) determines colour and style
The Dam (mum) determines shape size and conformation.

you can see the father influence of colour and style and the mothers influence is in shape with there heads being a little to long and semi pricked ears compared to a boxer.
I would say the mum would have been a lab out of the choice of lab and border as none of the pups have the long hair the traditional black and white markings. There is more evidence of Lab.

Answer 2

I agree with painted, she looks boxer and lab to me. He snout is just too long and her head odes not square off like a pit. After seeing her sister, the one that has the markings of a boxer, I would be even more sure. I suggest you go to yahoo images and search pit mixes and then search boxer mixes. You will know more about the characteristics each breed brings to the mix when crossed with a lab. Good luck, but I really do not think she has nay pit in her. A pit usually has a thicker chest in the front and different muscle structure too. You will see this when you start looking at images. Another good place to just browse is petfinder.com, just type in the breed and the mixes will show too. Good Luck, what ever she maybe, she is beautiful!

Answer 3

I see 2 very strong blood lines:

Labrador. There is no doubt in my mind that she's part lab.
Bull Dog. It's hard to tell what specific breed of bull dog, however boxers and pit bulls both fall into the bulldog category, so the father may have been a boxer, and it would be an easy mistake to make i.d.ing her as a pit mix. Either way, she's a beautiful dog!

Answer 4

Honey, it looks like you got yourself a pittie/lab mix! More pit than lab, but she has the longer hair like a lab. Although seeing the siblings makes me think differently. The brother looks A LOT like a pit.

Definitely no border collie, however.

And CONGRATS to you for owning one of the best breeds of dog EVER!!! as long as you train her right and love her, she will be the best dog you've ever known!

And Roxy is a cutie!!!!!!! You should check out http://pitbullforum.com it's a great place to learn about the wonderful companion you have and you can ask questions and post pictures. I'm sure they (myself included) would give you a warm welcome!

And now that i think about it more, I would say pit/boxer mix with some lab back somewhere because of the longer hair. Boxers and pits can have that brindle coloring and she is a bit jowly for a purebred pit and her head is too square to be full boxer. But really, what ever she is, she's a cutie

Answer 5

If she has boxer in her then she definately doesn't have pit because her snout would be shorter.I have a boxer pit mix and she looks nothing like that. She looks like a full pit. It is hard to tell for sure exactly what she's mixed with but I would say lab beacause if it were border collie she would have thicker/longer hair. From the pics her snout looks fatter than what a border collie has and is more lab like.

Answer 6

I can see Wher People Guess Bulldog...I see Boxer in her Brother..The Litters Noses are Just a bit longer/Heavier than most Boxers..But That could come from a Lab..My Guess would Be Boxer/Lab....BTW Love her Name....She could also be Boxer/Bull bred to a Lab..I dont see Border Collie at all..The whole litter looks great!

Answer 7

First of all, she's so cute!! So are her litter mates. I would say a boxer for sure. You can really see it in her brother. And maybe a lab. I have a lab and I see some lab in her. My friend has a lab/pit mix and I know several other people who have those mixes and they usually look like a pit. I don't think yours looks like a pit.

Answer 8

I can tell you right now, that many people will say she looks like a Pit Bull, and they are basing that off the brindle coloring. BUT Boxers also have that coloration, and they are often confused with Pit Bulls.
She definitely has the body & coloring of a Boxer. I'd consider her a Boxer/Labrador mix, definitely.

Answer 9

I could see how others think she has Pit Bull in her. She looks like it to me too. I have a Pit mix, largely Pit. She's a very nice looking dog. My Pit is the sweetest! She is great around kids too. I hate to hear the news where horror stories are aired regularly about a breed. The media looks for stories. But here is a link about the attributes of the breed. Congrats on getting a GREAT dog. :

Answer 10

If they werent sure what the mother was, then where did it come from. They do look like pitty mixes not boxer, but i think that the other parent was a lab mix possibly lab/ mastiff coz they are gonna be big dogs. That tail gives away the lab tho.
