What breed mix would you put this chap as?

Recently adopted pup, 2 years old thereabouts.

Lab cross... something by all accounts.

We have just sent off for DNA testing, but I'm curious as to what others would guess at?

He's a big chap, around 39kg. With a white flash on his chest and a little on his paws.

Not sure but he's gorgeous 💕

LoveItaly · 15/06/2026 17:09

No idea, but he’s a beautiful dog!

Lifewontbethesame · 15/06/2026 17:09

Labrador/great Dane? That's my guess anyway. Gorgeous dog.

Tiddlywinks63 · 15/06/2026 17:10

Labrador x pointer

TheHungryHungryLandsharks · 15/06/2026 17:32

Agree with PP! Very lab like appearance, but a pointy nose.

Absolutely beautiful dog, OP.

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 15/06/2026 17:32

Is he watching Telly? 😁
My dogs have been (noisily) enjoying spring watch recently.

Definitely a gun dog like my own.

MyThreeWords · 15/06/2026 17:43

Labrador and pointer

That's what I was thinking. Beautiful dog, OP.

That’s what I think, and DP wants it now please.

Another vote for lab x pointer.

BestIsWest · 15/06/2026 18:08

This is a bit out there but he looks exactly like the dog we had when I was a child and he was a lab x rough collie. Down to the long nose and white flash. He was a lovely boy. He might be a bit big for that though.

Ooh I can really see this in the side on pic with head and body!

Silverbirchleaf · 15/06/2026 18:15

Look pure lab to me. An American lab?

Nincompoo · 15/06/2026 18:18

I’d say he’s pure Labrador, I’m not seeing anything else obvious in there and some Labs are massive!

Shrinkhole · 15/06/2026 18:18

Yes maybe lab x pointer? He mainly looks like a large black lab but in the side photo his nose is a bit more pointy and his ears are a bit smaller.

Silverbirchleaf · 15/06/2026 18:18

My pure lab.

omghereistrouble · 15/06/2026 18:43

really nice dog def i would say lab x great dane would not be suprised if something else is there as well

RVectensian · 15/06/2026 18:49

He is a beauty, we are very taken with him.

This is him face on.

We were erring towards pointer, Weimaraner, possibly Dane with the slightly wobbly lip.

His previous owner had told the charity retriever x Welsh hound, which I can't really see.

Lab x German Shorthaired Pointer.
If that's the cross, he should be a brilliant dog.

ETA, seeing his fairly pale eyes, possibly x Weim. But the white chest patch suggests GSP.

tiramisugelato · 15/06/2026 18:59

With those eyes, I would say Weimaraner.

Labrador. Gundog types tend to have longer noses and be longer in the leg than show types. Having said that mine is on the stocky side as that is how his breeder ( Charlie Thorburn) prefers them. The white on him can come up in black labs.

Words · 15/06/2026 19:10

Just seen his weight. That’s massive! Maybe there is pointer in there after all…how is he on the lead?

BridgetJonesV2 · 15/06/2026 19:11

Labrador x pointer/vizsla or weimeraner. What a gorgeous boy.

That's what I was going with or maybe a pointer of sorts, he is a handsome boy.

Lomonald · 15/06/2026 19:12

Ah i see everyone else is saying Pointer 😀
