Your dog looks exactly like our Buddy, I initially thought you posted one of my pics. :-) buddy also liked to swim, but his fave ball is a tennis ball.🎾 we are still debating the exact race of Buddy, what brand do you think your dog is? We are located in Germany BTW, where are you?
We're in England! She's a half black lab, half red husky, though she has cat software. Here she is in her traditional husky pose:
We got her off a classified ad in Wales. Her mom was tiny for a lab, her dad was a giant monster. She is quite small herself, as she was the runt. Her brothers must be twice as big these days. We get the biannual shed that dogs with an undercoat have. Her legs have a bit of red in the sun and her rear and tail have a bit of a husky fringe to them. Husky brains, lab personality.
I wouldn't doubt yours could be mixed with shepherd. There's a few lab shepherd mixes around here that she looks a lot alike! She's a bit thicker than them though. She's also just a bit of a sausage in general. We keep joking she's a sausage (lab barrel) on toothpicks (husky legs).
