My girlfriend and I rescued our dog almost two years ago but we were never able to definitively state the breed to our friends and family. We did the bloodwork test at Petsmart (waste of money), and they gave us breeds from collie, to chowchow, to a few others. He's obviously not a chowchow or a collie. I even spoke with a Petsmart employee sometime later who said those tests are pretty much like drawing a name out of a hat. The few breed types that we've been able to narrow down to that seem to fit him the closest are:
Blackmouth Cur
Rhodesian Ridgeback
I was wondering if anyone knew what type of breed or what type of mix he could possibly be? We don't need to know and it doesn't change our opinions on how much we love him. Just one of those things you always wonder about. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Definitely pit bull

100% purebred Mutt :) And a super cute one! It's honestly pointless to try to determine his breed- if you've had him for two years you already know his temperament and habits. If I had to guess I'd say he's part shepherd, probably some lab, but that's just because I've worked with lots of labs and shepherds and he has that kind of face? Everyone who looks at him is going to try to relate him to dogs they know- but truthfully, he's his own "breed" now.

Well looking at the color of the coat gives me some clues. Also the skull shape and the eye hue. The overall look gives me the idea that your pupper is a brown recluse.

Looks just like a Russian Bear Dog to me!
See If he'll rush around a corner and bear down on a biscuit, then you'll know for sure!

Not a ridgeback. It's too small and the coat is too long. Maybe a black mouth cur... I mean the only way to tell if it's a ridgeback is look for the ridge. No ridge could mean a ridgeless RR but unlikely.
Pic related my RR pup (4months)

Agreed those blood tests are bullshit. The one I got said my dachshund Davey was a pitbull.
Anyways, don't worry too much about what he is mixed with. Mutts are amazing.

dna cant determine race or breed. Those things are based on physical appearance, not actual dna.

As an expert at identifying dogs, that is not a mutt. He is a purebred good boy.

could be ridgeback cross. No idea about this guys dad, but his mum was definitely a ridgey.

Send pic of back, ridge or no ridge?
No ridge, may indicate black mouth cur. Which is a very close relative of RR

If this is is now the breed identification thread, I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on what I've got on my hands here. He's a rescue, so no info on his history before his first surrender to animal control. When we talked with the rescue folks, we speculated that he's some kind of Shepherd- Staffordshire mix. He's small though, everyone who meets him thinks he's a puppy, but he's 2.
