We recently adopted our super cute puppy from Texas. His mom was a black Catahoula, however we have no idea what his father was. I have been researching and still have no idea what he may be mixed with. We would love to hear any thoughts! He is 3-4 months old, and he has very webbed feet, and his ears can't seem to decide if they want to stay floppy or prick up. I think his ears are what is throwing me off on deciding what he may be mixed with, if anything. His brothers had brown merl showing through and he has some brown merle under his chin and down the front of his neck. Oh and he howls and bays like a hound dog! He has been the most easygoing and lovable pup we have ever seen!
What a lovely looking dog - and those ears are really something! I'm not sure what I can see there. Whippet or Labrador perhaps? I wonder!
What a sweet expression your puppy has. Perhaps it will be easier to tell what his sire is as he matures, and you will know his size. Welcome to Breedia, will look forward to some follow on pictures.
Thank you for all of the lovely responses! I just came across Dutch shepherds and think he might be mixed with that. I can see it in the ears and face. What do you think?
