What is she? (dog breed guess)

[SterlingAcres]

I have a rott/lab and she looks nothing like yours. I would say German Shepherd x Hound. I don't see any rottie in there, those wide heads and muzzles carry over.

Looking at her and not considering her size, I would say Beagle/Rottie. Since she is larger, possibly a Walker/Rottie. A Walker hound looks like a Beagle type dog. But it could be a Foxhound/Rottie mix. The Foxhounds are really like large Beagles.

Just asked DH and he said Shepherd/hound mix. He said no telling what type of hound-lol.

Pretty dog, though! Mutts are the best!! We had a Shepherd/Dane mix that was wonderful. He was a pound rescue.

I found this DNA test for dogs on Amazon awhile ago. Might be worth a try if you really want to know what breed she is.

Easy - A brief swab of the inside of your dog's cheek collects the DNA sample. Fast - results mailed postage prepaid approximately one week after the lab receives your dog's DNA sample. Accurate - 61 breeds validated for this test, which represent 92.5% of the US dog population. Approximately 1 week after the lab receives your pet's DNA sample, the lab will mail back to you: 1. Ancestry Analysis Certificate 2. Behavior and Personality Summary 3. DNA ID card

Thanks but no thanks,lol. I'm better off taking free guesses then paying for it.
PLus I read the reviews and most say its a scam and a waste of money. Plus I dont agree with the Get a better understanding of your dog's behavior, potential health risks and personality thing.
Breed has part to do with all that,but the other part is how they were raised,cared for and all that good stuff.

Hope got her yearly shots a few months ago, and some one said noce looking rottie mix. The vet turned around and told them that she wasnt a rott mix and that not every black and tan dog you see is one.

My guess would be Beagle/Shepherd Mix.

 

[hensdeliverthegoods]

Rott-German Shepherd....I'd bet on it.

 

[Portia]

I'm going to take a guess and put several breeds in the mix versus just 2. I'd imagine that although one of her parents might have been a pure-bred, chances are probably pretty good that the other wasn't. How about shepard/beagle mixed with a rottie.

This gets my vote! Or even a lab/Black and Tan mix.

Beagle-Lab-shepherd, plus possibly "other." Ears say not a lot of hound, but everything else says some hound. General shape says beagle/Lab type, but there's something in the tail set and body shape that suggests a touch of shepherd.

People so often want to come up with two purebred parents for mixed breed mystery dogs. That's rarely the case.

The black and tan coloring is so common in the dogdom -- there's no reason to suppose that any customarily black & tan purebred (like a Rottweiler or Doberman) was a parent. (I do breed rescue for a rare breed of medium-sized and quite fluffy dogs. One color pattern is black and tan. When those end up in pounds, they are often listed as "rottweiler mixes." Pound workers aren't even trying! There is NO resemblance to a rottweiler, except the dead-common color pattern.)

The commercial DNA breed test is BS. People have sent in samples from purebreds and got back these hodgepodge "results" of mixes of breeds that aren't at all related to their purebreds. (Like, say, sending in a poodle sample and getting back a report that says that it is a collie-mastiff-pug mix.)

Yours looks like a pleasant, happy, physically sound dog. What more can one ask?
