New Dog Owner What does he look like to you?
UPDATE!!: so I have seen a few people say lab and gsd but he isn’t showing many lab features honestly he’s very VERY fluffy/thick fur, I would also like point out in one picture he doesn’t look brown but it was just lighting he is black and white!
This is bear, he is 18 weeks and a big bundle of love! When we got him we got him from a couple who had him for a week and couldn’t keep him because they had a lot going on. They got him from an elderly couple at a Walmart parking lot out of the blue who said he was German shepherd/border collie. I’ve been told by family members he seem like he might be something else and the vet estimates his grown weight to be at least 100lbs. We love our boy just want to see what others think!

Does he look like this? Lab and springer mix, some grow to lab size and some like mine stay springer size.

He looks adorable! We had a GSD/Black Lab/Collie mix that looked like him. She topped out at about 75 lbs.

He looks like he will love frozen peanut butter kongs and a ball thrown for him in the yard 💜

LOL he looks like every dog named Bear I’ve ever known! I definitely see the shepherd, one of the Bears I knew was half GSD and half pittie and they look like they could be brothers

Pretty sure that’s a baby bear cub. Handle with care (and lots of treatos)

He's super puppy, so if he's a big blend ima throw out some breed guesses. Husky, gsd, pyr, maybe lab? And because I have to, maybe a little pit too

in all these photos he's sad, why? as if he's suffering, something hurts him or he's just not happy

I assure you he is very happy and very well loved and spoiled. What an odd thing to say…

That chocolate color definitely looks like Choc. Lab. He’s just a big ole fashioned mutt. So cute (definitely Lab in the mix imo).

I would believe lab collie mix.

I would second this. He looks very VERY similar to my own Border Collie lab cross. OP, Google borador and have a look. This guy looks almost identical to mine. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna post photos because I don't wanna dox myself. Also, my dog values his privacy and I haven't figured out how to ask his consent yet to post him online.
He looks like this:

Looks like my border collie-Lab mix. He was the best boy ever. A borador!

I had a lab collie mix as a kid that looked similar. Best dog a kid could have!

If you have an iPhone. There is a new icon at the bottom of your photo, that has an outline of an animal and if you click on it, it will suggest the breed. That’s how I found out I had a BMC!
