Looking for input on my mixed breed

Posted : 11/16/2007 12:22:46 PM

I adopted my dog Koa about 6 months ago and I am trying to come to agreement on her breeds. The shelter determined she is a Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix but her trainer thinks there is some Pit in her. Browse through the photos on my profile if you want to see more pictures. I'd like any opinions I can get.

Thanks

Whats her size/weight and age?

From the pics I see some Shar Pei actually...and definitely Pit Bull or possibly even Boxer. Does she have a ridge?

She's 75 pounds and about 24 inches at the shoulder. Her estimated age is 16 months and she doesn't have a ridge.

I don't see lab in her at all. I agree on the shar pei and pit though

Okay so she's about Akita sized then..female Akita and possibly still some size to come. Any purple in her mouth, BTW?

Is her coat smooth or does it have a bit of a harsh prickly feel esp around her jowls/neck?

I definitely see pit and/or boxer.

She doesn't have any purple in her mouth and her coat is smooth and fairly dense. Her size hasn't changed much, if at all, since I adopted her.

Boxer x Pit

Boxer - size/height, white markings

Pit - stature, coloring

I don't really see any lab or RR.

I see pit but not RR. And I can see the possibility of boxer too and sharpei. Is it for certain that a sharpei cross will automatically have some black colorations in it's mouth? Boxer x Pitbull is fairly popular.

I think I see boxer or pit and I think I see shar pei too in the shape of the head/muzzle from the side view.... I love his white markings, his white paint pot feet look so smart... but the markings on his chest look a bit rude to be honest!!
