    RR cross?

    image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Hi guys, new here. Here's the thing, I have a 2 year old dog that I rescued when he was 6 weeks. His name is Cullan. We were told that he was a boxer/border collie mix (can't see the slightest bit of collie so I've doubted that from day one), but I can see the boxer in him, but more so I always thought he was similar to a Great Dane. Knowing the Great Danes were used in the lineage of boxers I just accepted that his genes must have favoured a Danes head on a boxers body. Until I discovered the Rhodesian ridgeback, seeing some of these dogs made me think for a second that he could be a full RR but then I googled the breed characteristics and he's missing the ridge on his back. So I'm thinking he could be a cross.
    Anyone agree? Or can anyone see the collie/boxer in him?
    Regardless he's a very handsome dog, I'm just curious as to what he could be.

    He could be an RR mix, he's very handsome!

    He looks to have quite a thick coat though? Boxers and ridgebacks both have very short, smooth coats
    I'd buy something like shepherd x boxer, but of course he's not necessarily a straight cross between two breeds :)

    Thank you! ☺️
    Yes his coat is a little longer than a boxers, it's short around his head and legs but it's thicker on his chest and back. I've thought shepherd X before too. Thanks for your reply! ☺️

    He looks quite a bit like my neighbours RR :mrgreen:

    He might just be a ridge-less RR :023:

    Whatever he is, whatever mix he might be, as long as you love him does it matter? He is such a handsome dog whatever he is.
