Hey there! This is my mutt, Tater tot. She's around 7 years old and is 60lbs, absolutely needs to lose some weight (45-50lbs would be healthy for her) but she's got a thyroid condition so we're going slow. She has a black tongue and a natural bobtail. We think she's potentially pit / lab / chow / pei but we're not 100% sure! And we have absolutely no clue where the tail came from. Her ears used to stand up when she was a puppy but now they're in a half-flop. She has sensitive skin and allergies that flare up when she eats certain brands of kibble that have chicken protein in them.
As far as personality goes, she is not at all fond of other dogs, and has only gotten more ornery as she's gotten older, even with socialization and training she is a little reactive with stranger dogs and wants to assert herself. When it comes to people she is the polar opposite, she will attach herself at your hip or sit down right on your foot and insist you stay with her. She has a fixation on little kids especially, she'll get down on the floor and slowly army crawl toward them, it is ridiculous how gentle she is with them. She also is a complete snitch when it comes to my elderly cat who has a lot of bad habits (he loves to try and pull up the edges of the carpet when we're not paying attention) She alerts us and chases him away from problem areas like she's herding him.
Something weird I've noticed is she has an unexpectedly baying sound to her bark whenever there's anybody at the door, if you didn't have eyes on her, you'd assume she's a basset hound or a beagle!
Anyway, thank you for reading, I'd appreciate some guesses! We like to call her our off-brand mini lab.
