Meet our new addition

[tickleyourpickle]

I'm so excited, this little man is joining our family on Sunday! I can't wait to meet him.
He is a Labrador x Collie.
I am slightly nervous now it's getting nearer, I hope he settles in well with us.

We don't have a name yet! Any suggestions welcome!

Gorgeous! Do you think he will stay grey?

Hi pup!
Is he grey/blue or is it the flash?

I'm not sure if he will stay grey, he has lovely blue eyes too

Sparechange, that's is actual colour! X

That's beautiful! Is the collie side merle?

Don't want to rain on your parade, but are you sure he's a collie/Lab. Just seems a very unusual colour for those breeds. Both that and the ears are more Staffie?

Anyway, Lab/collie combo will keep you very busy, he'll need a lot of stimulation to keep him occupied...

I'm not entirely sure, we are re-homing him so we've not seen the parents. I would say with the grey fur and blue eyes it's likely he is from a Merle though.

I popped into the vets today to book him in for a full health check so hopefully they might be able to tell me a bit more about him.

He is gorgeous! How about pewter? Or slater? Or gandalf (the grey)

I think you are mistaken; that is clearly the picture of a soft toy!

He looks at least part staff to me too. Gorgeous little fellow!

Where are you getting him from OP ? And have you actually not met him in the flesh

He is beautiful tickle. I love Gandalf too.

Ahhhhh! I'' team Gandalf!

Go Gandalf!

Just showed the pic to dd, she made a squeally noise so high pitched only dogs could hear it!

He. Is. Lovely!

He is a blue staff X, looking at him, he's lovely !

Not Bully ... BILLY !

Yes it does look like he has some staff in him too.

Me and DH are meeting him tomorrow, If we are happy then the owners are going to bring him to our house on Sunday
I actually quite like Gandalf! Someone up thread mentioned he may be from a Merle collie, and the name Merlin came to mind

He looks lovely! Agree with others though - not sure about the lab/collie cross. We have one of those and he looks very different!

That colour definitely doesn't come from a merle parent - merle is a dominant gene. I would say Staff cross too.

I've googled lab/collie cross and they do actually look quite similar, it's just the colour that's throwing me. That was until I came across a silver Labrador, google it, they are stunning! I didn't even know that was a breed!
Whatever he is, he is bloody gorgeous!!

It's quite fun playing 'guess the breeds' with rescue dogs. We got 2 of ours from Labrador Rescue - one a lab/collie cross (although as the vet said, there could be other breeds in there). The other is a lab/German shepherd but, having grown up with a GS I'd say she's 95% GS! Maybe I'll have them dna'd one of these days! In the mean time it's very interesting working out what breed traits they display. They would both die for food so clearly all do have some lab in them!

I agree with Lizzie - definitely a soft toy. You've been done! it's even still got the price tag on

We have a lab collie cross. She is a bit bonkers - and gorgeous. Food driven , wants to herd everyone, lies down in any water puddle, counter surfer, couch sleeper, very vigilant guard of house and street, will retrieve a ball for hours, adores every stranger. Have fun - you are in for a wild ride!
