Do you have a mixed mutt doggie? Post a pic so we can hazard a mix guess!

Puzzled? Scroll down . . .

I had my guy’s DNA done because he’s so unique looking. And the results were:  
50% \> Bouvier des Flanders  
Remaining 50% \> American Staffordshire, Irish wolfhound, Westie terrier, Rottweiler

I like this thread. I bet you can’t guess mine. You might be able to guess one half, but not the other. These two dogs are sisters, same mix, and fully grown.

The bottom picture gave it away–I almost said Shih Tzu (& Pug). I’ve been on the business end of a Pekingese before and you never forget a snoot/choppers.

I cannot look at a pic of a “smashed face” breed and not start giggling. I love those faces!!!

A combination of two breeds.

I don’t want to be a thread-hog, so I’m going to spoiler my guess:St. Bernard and Golden Retriever.I hope someone else comes along and guesses.

That’s a good-looking K9; is there any room for YOU in that chair?

I am definitely going with lots of St Bernard in the mix…but maybe Great Pyrenees, too?

Ok here is my girl - I’ll be honest, I don’t know here actual breed mix. She’s a shelter pup.

We rescued this guy earlier this year… He’s probably about 60 pounds now. A little lanky, but solid. Like Raventhief, we don’t know what kind he is.

In the ‘your guess is as good as mine’ category, I present Saga!  
One contributor is obvious, it’s what was mixed with the German Shepherd that has us stumped. Note her glorious tail. Where did that come from?
