I am trying to get a handle on my new dog. We have passed basic obidence,
but he has some distictive behaviors that may be breed related according to
trainer who thinks he may be a Rhodesian Ridgeback / Lab Mix. I lean on a
Black Great Dane / Choc pit mix. I don't know ... he is big 85 lbs, and is
a unsual combination of golden chocolate with black lips and nose (as
opposed to a lab's liver/pink color). He don't act like a lab and is very
long legged (picture 8) Take a peek and let me know! Thanks !!!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here (I'm bad at this) and guess pure
Lab, even with the white on his chest. I seem to recall Liisa
and others writing that this happens sometimes.

Well, that's a very Bullish-looking purebred not-a-Lab.

She looks a lot like our family dog, Kai. We thought that she might be lab
crossed with ridgeback, or even have some weimeraner in her, because of her
ears. Other thoughts were a kelpie ridgeback or lab cross. But she seems to
big to have kelpie in her. She also points on occasion, so perhaps she is a
gsp/lab mix.
We got her from the pound, and she is very trainable, intelligent, and just
a great dog.

Our Kai has the exact same pattern on her front... we call her turtle
sometimes, because that's what the shape reminds us of.
Very cute and attractive dog! Our Kai is also leggy, but not quite as bulky
as your dog.

Far too large pictures. They take minutes to open with this old computer,
and so I didn't bother to look more than the first two. Those are not
suitable for figuring out the breed, as one shows just the head from a
weird angle and in another the dog is lying down. Looks rather
retrieverish, but I don't say more without seeing the head and body shape.

Color isn't any kind of chocolate/brown (they have never black nose) but it
looks and sounds like seal. That means that there doesn't have to be any
brown dogs in its pedigree, but most probably one parent is dominant black
and the other sable. So this is hardly a purebred Labrador, but something
like Labrador x Rhodesian or Labrador x Pit Bull are possible due to color.

Great Dane/Ridgeback ???

Definitely some Pit Bull in there.

I have very rarely seen Lab mixes with the kind of massive chest/big
tuck-up like your guy has. Although, a RR could contribute to that.
THe face just doesn't look sufficiently like either though.

I lean on a
Black Great Dane / Choc pit mix.

That's what I was thinking too. There is something bully in that face.

I'd like to offer an opinion, but it's not possible unless you make your
pictures smaller.
It's simple basic nettiquette to adjust your files so that they're easily
downloaded and viewed before you ask group members to look at them. As
Liisa noted, they take FAR too long to load - after 60 seconds, less than a
third of your first picture had loaded for me. Additionally, it's hard to
look at a picture when it's so big that you don't get the entire image on
the screen.

Any halfway decent image-editing software - and if you have a digital
camera, odds are good you got software with it -has a "resize" option, and
if you have Windows XP, you can download a tiny file from Microsoft (the
Image Resizing Power Toy, IIRC) that allows you to simply right-click on any
image file and get a pop-up menu for resizing.

It's good to have broadband. I only downloaded one, and it was over 3
MB in size. I've messed with it a little, made it lighter and posted it

I chose this, because it is the only one that really shows his structure.

I like IrfanView for basic image editing stuff, where something like
Photoshop would be overkill.
