We live in a rural area so people are always throwing away their pets and sooner or later they find their way to our home.

When you spread their fur there's black spots underneath it - are they Dalmatians?

Awww. Those are some cute pups!

I’ll go with the prevailing opinion—Lab/Golden mix. The bodies and heads look Labbish, but the fur’s fluffier like a Golden. And judging by the size of those paws, you’ve got a couple of BIG new friends!

I love their poses. They’ve really taken to the place. It’s like they’re just saying “Hi, we’re here, now where’s the food?”

the more I think about it and look at the size of those paws, plus they look kinda fuzzy. A Great Pyrenees will also have some masking on the fur. So I think they are a mix of Lab and Great Pyrenees. The fur will be longer than a Lab but shorter than a Great Pyrenees.

Do they fetch? If so they are retrievers. They will be 75 pounds with big feet.

Maybe Golden Retriever/Great Pyrennes mix?

Here's a photo of a couple of adult Pyrennes:

Took in this stray almost 3 wks ago from after I saw him galloping back and forth across a four lane highway. He has a chip but his owners have disappeared per the shelter that had the chip ID on file. Looks like I've added another dog to my pack. He's friendly, healthy, house trained, and not destructive. But eats like pig!

BTW, I think he's Golden/Lab mix too.

They look awfully well-fed for strays.

Probably a retreiver mix, either lab or (light) golden. Throw a tennis ball and find out ;)

My two cents: Too much hair to be Dalmations, and their spots would have come in by this age.... Everything at this age looks like a Retriever mix so it's hard to tell. I think there's a fifty fifty chance their ears may stand up, or that something in their ancestry had ears that stand up. The one on the right's ears aren't laying real flat. They do have a little bit of a Pyrenees look about them, but they almost aren't big ~enough~ to be a pyrenees, and they have even more hair. (great pyrenees puppies - Google Image Search)

And now for this important DOGGIEPING Announcement!

I've lost my list! I did a deep clean of my computer last weekend and I guess inadvertently deleted the folder I kept the ping list in.

If you were previously on my ping list and would still like to be on the list now, please let me know... I'm gonna have to re-build the list from scratch!

They are apparently mixes....Golden retriever and....?

Since you're in Louisiana I would suspect the spotted appearance belie some Catahoula blood...they frequently display a piebald appearance, and are a breed originally developed, and most popular in Louisiana...

I haven’t read the whole thread so excuse me if I am addressing something you have talked about.

They are good looking dogs. the black spots are probbly Chow. My lab looks similar except black and he has the black spots from being a chow mix.

Have you thought that someone might be looking for them? If someone abandoned them, then God lead them to you and they are lucky to find your family. Maybe not let the kids get too attached in case the owners come looking for them, just in case they are lost.

They look like Golden Retreivers to me, also. They are absolutely adorable! Congratulations on your new family members.
