What do you think my rescue dog is?

[kawaiidesu343]

The best I have come up with is a Labrador crossed with an English Setter, but I don't really know. I am pretty much certain on the Lab part, as I grew up with one and he definitely sheds like a Lab. (THE HAIR IS EVERYWHERE!!!) But I am not certain on what else he could be! I don't know anything about his background as he is a rescue and had been seized from an abusive home. I have had some people say they see Pit Bull in him, but I don't really see that! He is about 65lbs, though when I rescued him he weighed 38 and was a skinny mini.

Freckles on his face.


Best I can do for what his coloring looks like.


Fairly decent body shot.


He eats everything. Including sand.

I can see the lab, and something houndy... I've just been looking at pics of lab beagle crosses and there's a similarity, though they mostly have longer ears.

i don't see any english setter in there........nothing about the ear set, skull shape, feet, bone, tail, .......nothing about any of that indicates setter.

lab/pointer perhaps?

a cutie for sure!.........btw, you might want to give a bit of attention to the nails. they're far too long and are causing the feet to splay.

Ugh, yes, the nails are a constant battle. He will absolutely not let me near his feet with ANYTHING except my hands, and I can't hold him all by myself. With his bite history I don't particularly want someone else to have to help me with this. He recently had them cut at the vet, these pictures are older!

What a cutie pie! I also thought lab/pointer when I saw your pics. Whatever he is, he is a lovely dog!

Oh, by the way, here is a clicker training video that might help you with cutting your dog's nails: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgEwiH8CeUE

I used this method on my brother-in-laws huge lab and it worked very well. Where it once took three of us to cut his nails (two men to hold him and me struggling to cut them), now I can do them all by myself with little to no fussing on his part.

That video is great - Shows how to change your dog's thinking from "this is being done to me and I hate it!" to "I can chose to allow this so that I get a reward!"

I don't have any ideas on Geno's breed mix, but he sure is a lovely boy!
