You guys are half right!! One parent IS a yellow lab, her father is a 60 pound yellow lab. .
As for the other... you've not gotten close yet... and since I can't get the other pics to post I guess it wouldn't be fair to let you keep guessing.
Lexie is about 40 pounds, about as tall as a springer spaniel... although she has no spaniel in her, and has a lean build. She does not have the height nor the build of a lab. Her coat is somewhat shorter than a lab's and has kind of a soft undercoat with a harsher outer coat, though not as harsh as say a German Shepherd or a wire haired breed. And she sheds a great deal, lol. Her color is not consistent over her body. She has darker ears and a "band" down her back... not a stipe, as it's wider than a stripe would be, that has darker and lighter hairs mixed in, while the rest of her body is a pretty reddish-gold color..
She is very smart, loves kids, but likes to chase smaller animals and will run the horses...but not in a mean way... in more of a herding way. She has a strong will and gets distracted easily outside.. but that's mainly because she's never lived in the country and is fascinated by all the different smells and noises and the freedom of it all, which she is earning bit by bit. She is an excellent guard dog, although she's not viscious. She will let you know if someone come in/up that she doesn't recognize or isn't expecting.
She was born on a farm, but quickly left for life in the city where her new owners found it difficult to keep her occupied and content. Thus she was returned to her previous owners who still own both parents and one sibling who looks more like the other parent and is "blue" in color.
So...... can you figure it out?
