    We’re in England! She’s a half black lab, half red husky, though she has cat software. Here she is in her traditional husky pose:

    We got her off a classified ad in Wales. Her mom was tiny for a lab, her dad was a giant monster. She is quite small herself, as she was the runt. Her brothers must be twice as big these days. We get the biannual shed that dogs with an undercoat have. Her legs have a bit of red in the sun and her rear and tail have a bit of a husky fringe to them. Husky brains, lab personality.

    I wouldn’t doubt yours could be mixed with shepherd. There’s a few lab shepherd mixes around here that she looks a lot alike! She’s a bit thicker than them though. She’s also just a bit of a sausage in general. We keep joking she’s a sausage (lab barrel) on toothpicks (husky legs).

      Ours is from Murcia Spain, and presumably a Labrador and Pastor mallorquin mix; the latter recognizable by the white spot on the chest , which yours seems to missing. And he barks loudly when the doorbell rings. Ours also loved sleeping on his back.

        Pastor mallorquin

        Oh man those are cool looking beasts! I never heard of that breed. :) Haha, ours isn’t much of a guard dog. She’s a quiet homebody that shoves everyone else off the couch. I’ve had a few German Shepherds before and I absolutely love them too. Are they similar in temperment?
