I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that this guy is a German shepherd mix, from the markings. If his ears were floppier, I’d say he was a shepherd/Lab mix, but I’ve never seen ears like that on a dog that was half Lab. Autumn is stumped too. So this is a ‘I’m sorry!’ to Utah’s parents: we’re just as confused by your pup as you are, but whatever he is, he’s a pretty spiffy dog. If you ever find out what he is (via one of those genetic testing things) please do drop us a line in the comments and let us know.
Oh! And please, if you haven’t looked at the pictures I posted Saturday night, go look at them and then suggest a name for the puppy!
Two more pictures after the break.
Small paws, a lot daintier than a shepherd. Maybe an Italian Greyhound for the other parent?
More ridiculous happy tongue-lollage.
And if that isn't a big goofy canine grin, even without the tongue, then I don't know what one looks like.
