I recently got a new puppy, the lady i got him from said he was half Lab, and half German Shepherd. Although i did see the parents from a distance, (mother was a yellow lab, and dad was colored the same as mine except with pointed ears) I'm not fully convinced that he is just those two breeds. I looked up some pictures of the mix and some came out to look like my puppy, but I'm still a bit unsure. He looks like a Lab despite his coloring. Can someone help me out? :-\ His paws/chest & his face
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? Hi and welcome to the forum How old is puppy? Has he got a name? It is very difficult to tell what breed he is as he is still a tiny pup. Could you ask the breeder? Did you not meet mum or dad?
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? Oh gosh, what a BEAUTIFUL puppy!! Definitely a cross with something - but it doesn't really matter.
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? Oh, he's gorgeous. I can understand you wanting to know what he is, just so you can tell people, but for me, the one thing he is is beautiful! What's his name?
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? I would say there is some collie or spaniel in the mix. He is very cute though, he looks like he wearing socks Chloe
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? Hmm I was thinking more along the lines of a heeler - if one of the parents is a german shepherd like dog. We had out Izzy DNA tested because we were so darn curious...she was a "free to good home - cardboard box in front of the grocery store" dog....so we were very curious. We laughed at the results....but were glad we did it. ;D Results said 1/4 curly coated retriever 1/4 German Shephard 1/4 Korean Jindo 1/4 Dachshund She was 85 pounds!!! ;D ;D ;D
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? Hey - are you an imposter? Where is the labrador in Izzy??? ;D ;D ;D Only kidding - I love all the different dogs and the diversity on here! Izzy is gorgeous.

Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? Thanks so much to everyone who replied, I'm just still so curious. I think I'm gonna have a DNA test done too!
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? My sister's black labrador (half-brother to Bones) mated with a Dalmatian... Two of the puppies looked like Labradors with spots, and the other six had the same sort of coloring as your pup - black, with a white chest and paws with black spots. They were all gorgeous!
Re: What causes the spots on my Lab? Love the spotty 'socks'....also laughed a lot at daschund in Izzy!! X
