: Your Best Breed Guess?
: taylorrr March 19, 2007, 02:08:24 PM

Hi everyone!  This is my sweet puppy, Maddox.  He was 3 months old in this picture, and weighed about 25 lbs.  Now he's 5 months and weighs 40.  I've had guesses of Lab/Rottweiler, Lab/Swissy, Rotty/Dane, etc. and I never know what to say when people ask me what he's made of!  Any educated guesses from the big dog owners? 
 
Thanks!!
Taylor

Haha thanks!  I'm thinking time will tell a lot because mixed breeds can always surprise you with how they turn out!  I appreciate the help!

Hey awesome!  I live in Midtown, right next to Piedmont Park... which is like living next to Disney World for a puppy.  Do you and your canine crew ever make it out here?

we just moved here a few months ago (military) and haven't made it out to piedmont yet, as hubby works 6 days a week.  i'd really like to get out there some time though!  also, we were talking about having a meet-n-greet and we brought up piedmont park though.

Welcome to BPO. I'm Annie, mom to Sadie, a Lab, and Riley, a Saint.

Your dog is adorable. I'd guess Swissy (markings) and Lab (the facial features look very much like a lab to me-he looks a lot like Sadie).

Just tell anyone who asks he's an American Rottdaneswissy dor.. AKA, cuteness!  Welcome to BPO.  I'm Misty and Gracie, 10 month old English Mastiff is my joy.  We love it here at Big Paws Only.  Can't wait to see more pictures of that baby.  He's adorable.

He's SOOO CUTE!!  ACK PUPPY FEVER!!  I am Heather, Mom to a 2 year old Swissy and he definitely has the white cross marking of a Swissy.  I think he got some of that in him.. and the floppy ears!

Yeah i've been trying to come up with some silly cross-breed names, like Swiss Rottador...  I fell in love with the Bernese and Swissy's coloring, and that was actually what caught my eye at the shelter.  I'll post some more pictures soon!  This is such a great website... makes me feel normal for being obsessed with my pup--haha
