This is Riley, a rescue dog we got several months ago. I'm at a loss to figure out even roughly what his parentage might have been so if anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate them.

 

Behavior is tough to figure out since we have no way to know how he was treated and what is breed vs what is reaction to abuse. His nose is fairly good but not nearly as acute as our beagle/lab mix. His hearing is superb.

I would agree with Greg.

Head is terrier and body language in first pic is pure terrier.

Body and colouration looks like a lab.

May not be a first cross though so probably some dilution.

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

Body/colour is almost a perfect match for my Lab.

 

Head/ears of a terrier, possibly a jack.......

 

Nice Dog!!!

a cross breed = modern speak for a dog that is worth money to sell

a mongrel old term for worthless dog you kill or give away.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Nothing 'modern' about it chesters. My grandparents used to always have some first cross Cairn/Border terriers. They were good for getting foxes and ratting and were also good with children.

 

Nice dog Newt, not too big.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Clearly a Terrier lab cross will make a dammed good dog, hardy too!

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which

holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd

by the clean end"

Thanks for the heads up on Labrador colours. I only knew of black and chocolate (that's all we used for retrieving ducks and geese) and have never seen a white/light brown to know it was a lab. A quick Google Images search showed lots of them and as you say, the same colours and pattern as Riley.

I think it looks more like a parsons terrier cross lab, either way you got yourself a loyal friend,
