Chocolate lab and what else?

[blightedchemist]

I'm pretty stumped as to what our oldest dog is a breed between. We know she is part chocolate lab. We have had people suggest spaniel which after seeing her, and several different breeds of spaniels I'm not convinced, the only other suggestion made was pointer, and I can see that kind of. Her name is Maxie and she is 16 years old.

She looks like a pointer to me

:main_yes: I'm thinking English Pointer or GSP.

 

[StinaKSU]

Yeah I think I'd say pointer too.

I don't know that I would have said Lab at all just looking- some sort of hound, pointer or terrier mix is more what she is. Maybe a fox hound or pit or the pointers that people already said...

You could always get one of those (expensive!) DNA tests.

 

[blightedchemist]

alright thanks. for your thoughts! i was leaning towards pointer myself, the comparison is to a T

 

[spykerherps]

the place that I work actually sells DNA breed testing kits. swab your dogs mouth and get a salivary DNA sample and send it of to a lab and in a week or two you will get results for what your dogs parentage is . thats if you want to know bad enough the kit is like $80.00

 

[blightedchemist]

well thats actually really really neat! not particularly worth $80, I'm not that curious or concerned but its very cool!

Border collies can be known for having *frekkling on the legs and nose*...yours kinda has some on the arms,so maybe 1/4 border collie?

Pointers can also carry the ticking gene (freckling)
