yeah i saw doberman in there too....
keep in mind though..... i had a dog (about ten years ago) that was half doberman and half Australian cattle dog x pit bull. he had VERY flashy markings similar to Bully's and even had the same tail carriage.
as a puppy he was a striking black and tan. people on the streets asked if he was a rotti mix because he was very bulky. but as he grew his markings soon faded until he had a black saddle and no black at all on his face and his ears had faint black on them..... so people thought the was either beaglexGSD or B&T coon hound x beagle or shepherd.
his brothers and sisters were a variety of colours and markings. one was solid white. and many were black and tan with brindle in the tan parts. some had fluffy coats, some had slick coats like the dobe. some had tails, some had half tails, and some had no tails at all......Franky also had double dew claws on his hind legs....... if i didnt know both parents(one was a barnyard dog, the other belonged to our neighbour) then i wouldnt have known where to begin guessing with his mix!
i wish i had a decent camera back then..... this is the only "good" picture i have of him online. the others i have yet to scan....
ETA lol he was named after Sir John Franklin, the lost british explorer because the day we brought the pup home was the same date in history that Franklin was last seen alive... and the puppy had a marking on his chest that looked strangely like a question mark.. yes... i'm a history nerd lol
