Hm. Newfie?
In reply to the earlier post in which I speculated about Little Bear's Daddy, Commenter S suggested that maybe a Newfoundland snuck into the love shack. My first thought was negative - Newfies are very large and very hairy. LB's just kinda large and hairy.

The lack of the double coat argues against a Newfie father. It was LB's face that made me think of Newfie, but those two photos side by side show the difference.

Mutts are great dogs, how nice that you got such a good one. He is a handsome dog.

Gotta run now, but I'll look at those pix soon.
ReplyDeleteLB has a very thick winter undercoat that takes him months to shed when things warm up. Terribly prone to matting and very similar to Newfies, from the descriptions. Interesting.
lab + newfie + setter - spaniel * chow / chiuaua - coyote = yur doggie :) This is the normal foundling formula
