I tried to google the type of puppies everyone is saying your pup could be. The tough thing with a mix is you never know what is in the lines. Here is the one I came up with that to me looks the most similiar to your puppy. I dont know if it helps any. This one is a boxer mix....

Let me know what you think!

Kerri6398 · 11-13-2006, 12:01 AM

I am still doing some research and here is what else I cam up with. This is a rescue dog that is a boxer/shepard mix. Looks pretty similiar to me. here is the link to that pup...

I am trying to take what everyone is suggesting into consideration and someone mentioned a chow so I came up with this chow/sheperd mix also....

I hope these links work for everyone. Please let me know if the pictures are showing up or not. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly this puppy could be!

Hmmmm.....well, the only way I see Boxer is because of the coloring and black mask. His head looks a little blocky, unlike a GSD, so that also kinda points toward Boxer. But the shape of the body and the length of the fur looks like a GSD. It could also be part Belgian Malinos(sp), but they aren't very common. I see no Rottie whatsoever.
*sigh* this is why you never buy a mixed breed pup from a breeder...God knows what trait the pup will take on. You might get a dog that looks exactly like a Boxer with just the coat of a GSD, you may get a dog that looks like a GSD with the face of a Boxer, etc......You only adopt mutts when you are willing to be surprised! lol

And if a breeder was selling mutts...well....not a good breeder, anyways.
Your pup might have longer fur, but it won't be horrible. It won't be a long coat, just a thick coat, kinda like a Malamute's. Since your pup may have Boxer, it might make the coat shorter, but who knows. That's a mutt for you! lol

Puppies may shed their puppy coat, but it is only to adopt their thicker undercoat. From my experience, when I dog sheds its puppy coat, the hair only gets thicker. The exception being a hairless dog. Then they are born with fuzz and they shed it off! lol When we got our Lab pup, she had virtually no undercoat, but when she started loosing her "puppy fur" her undercoat came in.

wow,
thank you all sooo much for taking the time to try to figure out my mystery! The pictures you posted were soo helpful...I have a better understanding of what my pup could potentialley be, but still am a little confused. I was pretty disapointed when i first started to wonder if indeed he was what the breeder said, but after spending a few weeks with him and getting to know his personality, I dont care anymore. I am willing to be takin by surprise! He is the most lovable creature....All he wants to do is cuddle and be held. I know, I should prolly start breaking him of that habbit...but he is just toooo irresistable when he nudges his little black nose under my arm and paws at me to pick him up!! He is just like a little human! Honestley, I never had a dog that wanted to be held and picked up so much.
ANyway, My bets are going to the GSD/boxer based on those pics that you posted. He is now 11 weeks, and is starting to take on more features of a GSD. I will post more picks tomarrow so you can all see for yourselves. It should be interested to see his progress. Thanks again, and I will keep you all posted!
LYNN

blackrose · 11-14-2006, 05:15 PM

You don't have to break him of the habit if you want an eighty pound lap dog! lol

My two Labs (esp. the younger one) LOVE to still be held and cuddled. Sadie thinks she is stil eleven pounds and insists on riding on my lap in the car...even though she is now 65-70lbs! lol Oh, but if you don't want an eighty pound dog pawing at you for attention....whenever your pup wants you to pick him up, make him sit first. This will teach him that the way to get attention is to sit and look cute, not paw and look cute.

Glad you're happy with your pupper...I saw a Boxer/GSD mix today while I was going into school and he was a very handsome dog.

That is very true.

A female can have a litter where the pups come from different males.

The back yard breeder you purchased from may have no idea if their female was just bred by one male or not.

Did you see the parents of the puppies? Were you allowed to choose the one you wanted out of the litter?

To me this is a perfect example of why people should not support BYBs at any cost. You don't know what you'r likely to get. You dont know if the person is even honest of what the pups are or could be, especially when they are looking to make money on a mix.

However, going into a mixed breed purchase, I truely believe the buyer should be aware of all risks and should be dedicated to lifelong care of the animal they choose to bring home.

jframe · 03-03-2007, 08:02 AM

People should have to get a license to breed animals. You simply can't trust them. Yes, it is broad generalization that is most often true.

ivory 4646, just love him and treat him well. Be a good owner and don't worry about what he is.

Wimble Woof · 03-03-2007, 08:24 AM

It is hard to tell with puppies, however I see little Rott or Boxer in your pup.
I have a Rottie Boxer mix and well, your dog doesnt really remind me much of her, or her siblings. However, her father was a brindle... perhaps your pups parent was a fawn. But still.
Heres a few pics. ( sorry to anyone who may be tired of seeing them lol)
Her and her sis at approx 4 months of age

One of her brothers at 4 weeks

As someone mentioned earlier, did you see the parents at all?

peace36 · 03-03-2007, 10:53 AM

I can not find the link either. the link you posted just gives me a blank white page when I click on it. I went the dog pictures and even did a search no Boxer thread there.

Pretty Please I wont get offended. Could someone just pretend like I am a 2yr old that can read and give me very specific instructions on how to find the pics??

Even if you post the link here it will be driving me crazy on where it is and how to find it.

OC_Spirit · 03-03-2007, 12:41 PM

I cant find the pictures either...

I did want to mention though, Rottie pups in general are very fuzzy because as an adult they have a DOUBLE COAT. It may not look as fuzzy as a Siberian Husky or a German Shepherd who both also carry double coats, but Rotties do have them. Also there is such thing as Long-haired rotties. It is a throw-back gene from what went into their creation. It pops up every now and then and as far as I know isnt a disqualification, could be wrong on that though.

Jessica&Crew · 03-03-2007, 05:23 PM

The picture has been posted in this thread.

Keno's Mom · 03-04-2007, 08:06 AM

The "breeder" is not a real breeder - sounds like a backyard breeder selling pups to make money.

Anyway, from your description sounds like mom was bred by more then one dog! They only saw the rotti (if that's the father). Could have been a shepard that got her too.

Rotties and boxers both have ultra short hair, so I would be suspecious of "longer" hair. I've never seen any boxer or rottie puppies that had longer hair! So what happens to this pup since its probably not what you thought? Do you intend to keep the pup anyway?

Ok if that's the picture of the pup (he is cute) he's NOt what this person said - I say there's shepard in the background. Willing to bet there's probably 3 or 4 mixes in there - so who knows what he will look like or how big he will get when grown.

OC_Spirit · 03-04-2007, 09:51 AM

Hmmm I wouldn''t call this ultra-short hair....This beautiful long-haired Rottweiler was at the UKC dog show in MI a few weeks ago. Gorgeous dog I might add!

Another long coat - purebred rottie all his siblings were ""normal coated""

Here''s a nice head shot of another Rottie - not a short coat like a boxer either, eh?

OC_Spirit · 03-04-2007, 10:01 AM

Its easiest to see the rottie''s double-coat when its a little wet because then the fur isnt lying down in its typical way which for the rottie, from a distance makes it look like it has a short coat like a doberman or a boxer

Its harder to tell in this pic but if you look closely at the neck/chest area you can see its not a short coat.

One more long-coat for fun

And just for comparison''s sake, here is a couple of Boxers (and the one in front is a friggen awesome one at that!!!!!!!). Typical short coat, NOT what the rottie carries!

BTW, all these pictures must be credited to and are copywritten to www.molosserdogs.com if anyone wishes to use any of the 8 pictures I have posted they must talk to me or one of the administrators of the site.

This is what I am about to do to find out what my dog is...A simple DNA test for $65.00. They send the kit to you and you mail the swab back..I also think they could pick up certain diseases with it including certain Cancer's

*drools over the Rottie pictures posted* Now THOSE are some gorgous dogs.

Hahaha, I think I need to use that breed test for my dogs. I have no idea if Blackie is pure or not (we think he may have Rottie in him), and I'd love to know what all is in Rose. lol

DebFR · 06-10-2007, 01:10 AM

Where are the pics of dog?

yodarunner · 10-12-2007, 11:36 PM

Unfortunately, unless you got papers with your dog and it was indeed a legitimate breeder who can show you the bloodline, you never will know.... or you can take that test. He is an ABSOLUTELY adorable pup either way. BTW: Beware the 80 lb lap dog, it is really sweet, but they have no clue how big they really are.
