What mix is this?

got any stats? age? weight? is the coat slick or slightly wavy? I'd say personally...PB/Lab...both can carry dilute coloring. If he has any markings in a lighter tone like above his eyes, under his tail, where a Dobe would be tan...possibly Dobe X but.....we need more info..really, and maybe even another pic from the side or at least standing.

He's about 1 year 7 months old, and weighs about 45 - 50 pounds.

His fur is slick, with some areas slightly longer and wavy. This is the only other pic I have of him.

hmm well at that weight and age Chessie is not all that likely...they are BEEFY dogs...up around 80lbs on the males. And they are just a "big dog" in feel...big round legs, solid deep chested, big football wide heads etc.

Granted this boy looks like he could use some weight but given that Chessies are a somewhat seldome seen breed...and Labs and PB's are pretty darned common everywhere...I will stick with my first guess. There's something very Pitty abotu those kissy lips LOL.

That sweet face reminds me of my chocolate lab although the ears are a lot smaller.  He must be lab mixed with something smaller, wire-haired and patched with white.  Hmmmmm.

He looks totally sweet though - love the eyes!

I'd say Lab mixed with who knows?  They probably are guessing Chessie because of the reddish color but I've seen lots of Chocolate Labs  that color.  Pit is a likely candidate in there too.  He is very cute.  Who wouldn't fall in love? 

in the first pic i was thinking he looks like my aunts Lab/boxer mix but the last pic i sorta do see lab/pit- and the wavy hair probably comes from a breed further down the line thats not noticable any other way than the hair

Have to say, the first pic had me saying the shelter's listing was right, but looking at the second pic, and hearing his "stats", I think Gina's guess of Lab/Pit is spot on.

For some reason Chessie, Weim, & Dalmation faces are similar to me....so here's my guess....

Possibley a mix of Labbie Pittie Chessie Weim or Dalmation.......

Honestly, he looks like a Weim or Chessie crossed with a Lab or Pittie

When I first met him, I thought Lab/Pit, but he does have spots, especially on his back that's very Wirey haired. I think that's where they got the Chesepeake from.

 I love him though...He's very friendly and playful. No aggression at all. He just doesn't have any formal training, and a very short attention span. He's basicly a full grown pup. Were getting training classes as soon as we get him. He's still young (1 year, 7 months) so he should be more than capable of learning everything.

Isn't there some DNA test they have online that you can order and get his background?

Those things are about as acurate as all of us guessing.

Seriously - someone posted a story about those DNA-testy-thingies.....I'll see if I can find the link.....

Here it is....Xebby and her 40lbs, black and white, erect eared IRISH WOLFHOUND mix...TEEHEE...

LoL.. Scratch that idea. It really doesn't matter to me what's in him anyway. I was just curious. We filled out an application for him today...He needs a lot of work, training wise. But were going to do our best to reach his potential if we get him. The staff said he didn't know any commands yet. However, once we started interacting with him we realized he knows sit and paw perfectly...So I'm sure he's had some sort of training. He just needs serious work on the leash.
