More evidence of why I trust absolutely no-one to ID either rare or mixed dogs with certainty.

When I was a kid my German Shepherd got loose - and pregnant. No doubt by the roaming Labrador male.

Her pups were half black&tan, half yellow. We kept 2 of them (for a while), 1 of each. You would never have guessed the yellows were anything but poorly bred skinny Labradors (how the skinny happened for any of these dogs I don’t know, but it did; must be a throw-back). you might have guessed GS for the B&Ts, but also may have guessed Doberman.

I wonder how it would be if, instead of advertising mixed dogs by apparent breed, they separated them at the pound by personality type?
This dog likes to play ball, this dog sleeps all day, etc. I think it'd be alot easier for people to find the perfect shelter dog. One thing I really wanted out of a dog was an avid retriever, but Swiper is only interested in the ball if someone else has it.
