Cattle dog mix?

Hi, I am new and have been wondering for a while what breeds Neitzsche has in him. He is a 4 years old, his dad was some kind of stray Lab mix, and his Mom (who we got from somebody with a litter of 'mutts') looked like she had alot of ACD in her.

Un/Fortunatly she wasn't spayed, and she ran off and mated with this Lab mix while we were out in the woods where we own some property. She came back almost right away, but later on we figured out she was pregers, and she gave birth to 15 puppies! One died the first morning though :'(.

She was having trouble nursing all of her pups, with such a large litter and being a young, first time mum, so we helped her out. All the pups grew up fat and healthy:).

So, sorry, I kinda went on about all our dogs, not just Neitzsche, but here are some pics of him:











We havn't weighed him yet but my mom guesses around 50-60 lbs.

I would say he has soooome in him. But would be a stretch to refer to him as a cattle dog mix.

Pawzaddict- he was from an accidental litter we had, yes. You don't really know the dad, but we saw him come over (he is a wonderer) and Stella (mum) went off with him:(. Unfortunetly we didn't realize the importance of spaying/neutering, so a few months after she returned (she was only gone with him part of a day) she gave birth.

We no longer have Mum, she was really bad at running away and at the time we didn't know how to handle that:(. She ran off with a friend dog, male my dad says, though at least we spayed her after she gave birth.

To my untrained eye she looked like she had some cattle dog in her - perphaps I can figure out how to upload pics of her to the computer from my moms old phone.

So we made alot of mistakes, we didn't know how to keep her, and my dad still won't spay Neitzsche:mad:. Nomatter what I tell him, he seems to think that it's mean to cut off a dog's testicles:eyeroll::ponder:.

Thanks for the responses about his breed!

PS Neitzsche's sibling all looked different than he does (he was the only one we kept, the others were given away), most looked like GSD coloring, and some yellow, like a lab. They were so CUTE:)....

ooooh ok no worries :) I was just curious if you still had mom and had a pic of dad and that helps sometimes. I could see cattle dog, its tough with mix breeds bc they sometimes look like something they aren't lol my border collie/lab mix looks like a GSD mix ;) his siblings looked like labs, border collies, one of him, and one that looked like st bernard coloring.
