looks Staffie/lab cross to me.

 

[Cichlid_Crazy]

Does to me also, he is around knee height....the kennel place seem certain he is part boxer tho

I got his age wrong also hes around 6 months...although its a estimate.

I would agree, lab x staffie. He looks a bit short to be a lab x boxer.

Eitherways he looks lovely. And no, re-naming him wont be a problem at all. To them a name isn't a name, it's just a word that they learn means good things, and to pay attention to you/come to you when it's said.

Staffie/Pitbull rear body...shoulder torso could have boxer in it, front legs back to staffie with a mixed labxstaffie head.... We used to just call them NDS dogs... (nondescript)

 

[Cichlid_Crazy]

Do you think if he is Staffie x Lab he will get big? or stay small? i doubt he is Pitball because they are not allowed in the UK as far as i know.

And about the name change thing...they said they only named him 'Zingano' 2 weeks ago and hes not responding to it so i think it should be ok hopefully.

Can't wait to Saturday to pick him up all booked now

Goign to buy his bits and pieces tomoz...bowl, collar, toys etc

if he has, and i think srongly he does have lab, then he'll get a bit bigger than knee height. He looks a lot like my lab in the face.

obviously on the left.

Yeh can deffo see the resemblance

Been looking at alot of Staffy x labs and 'Diesel' don't seem 'Muscular' enough to me ...might be because hes a growing pup still....im still thinking he could be Boxer x lab as they have similar bodys to Staffs but less Muscular and taller.

Any advice about introducing Diesel to my 3 cats?

saying that, on closer inspection of the pic, he may be Springer/lab cross. As another hobby i assist in training and re-homing dogs, and we had a springer/choc lab cross and the do look very similar. He had a great temperament, he was very strong willed though. Hes a good looking dog though! If ya need any hints or tips give me a shout.

lol sorry we posted at the same time. Introducing with cats with a pup is normally OK, for the simple reason that the cat will get the upperhand in the hirarcical system. The main thing is to keep control of the dog when introducing, keep the dog on his lead. Heres a good article, which i would 100% agree with.

and i have found a pic of a springer/lab

^ woah that looks just like him any pictures of his back end? the Kennel place says he 'acts' like a spaniel...if that makes any sense i wouldn't know because its my first dog

 

[Cichlid_Crazy]

Well i went to see him today...and its weird he has no staffy or anything similar in him...the picture is misleading i think.

He in my eyes is Boxer x Lab...but they say he also has some Spaniel in him.

His back end is identical to a boxer and hes alot taller than the picture gives him credit for also!....lovely looking dog tho! he looks like a mini, skinny lab without a tail.

Well, you are obviously very impressed and proud of your new acquisition... may he provide you with many years of loyal companionship..... A perfect match is made!... I am so glad for the both of you.

Haha thank you My Partner loves him to which shocked me!

Wonder how big he will get if hes Boxer/Lab? hes about 2 foot tall at the shoulder right now.
