Seeing that coloring and the ears, I have no doubt that there is Lab in there. Everything about the posture, leg shape/positioning/muzzle length/eye placement/ear size just SCREAMS Shih Tzu to me...though I can't for the life of me imagine a Lab pairing with a Shih Tzu.
And for the record, I don't think he looks that overweight. Maybe by a few pounds, but I think a lot of it has to do with body type. I have a Lab/Basset X and have the hardest time telling if he's overweight or not because he just NEVER has a tummy tuck up at all. I feel like I should be able to see his stomach visibly tucking up from the side, but it just doesn't at all. He looks like a sausage, especially when he sits down like the OP's dog does...his tummy bunches up and makes him look extra tubby. I wish he would look nice and slender and healthy, but the truth is his body just isn't shaped that way. It's especially apparent if he hasn't...err...number 2ed yet - he looks very noticeably more slender after he does [&:]
