And one baby pic!



She loves water, about the height of a Labrador, and gets a ridge of fur on her back when she is defensive. Super friendly almost to the point of a fault! She has beautiful yellow eyes! Adopted from a family who raises wildlife like koalas and dingos. Mum was apparently a pure bred lab.

I don't really see any gsd either. I see mostly lab. If it weren't for a few small things, I think she could pass off as a purebred. I think what ever she is mixed with might be one generation back or the lab look ended up being mostly dominant.
I think ill refer to @SueM on this one, since she has more lab experience.

I see a non-standard lab to be honest, not really anything else too obvious in there. "American Labs" are leggier and leaner than the English labs, which are definitely stockier.

Oh, are you in Aus? Labs there have a wide range of builds so could be full. The picture of her running on the grass really pings GSD for me somewhere in her history. I'm no expert though.

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't really sure since the ears look a little smaller and the tail not as thick. But I don't have much in person experience with labs.
As well as "American labs" a lot of field bred labs tend to be more on the leggy side.

She looks like a lab or mostly lab to me too. Also I've known two lab x gsd. One looked like a chocolate lab the other looked like a black gsd. These were from different dogs, not related at all. But both were half lab and half gsd. You could also end up with something in between the two dogs in looks. Labs also come in a wide range, from lean and leggy to thick and stocky.

Truth be told, I've seen a lot of known purebred Labs who look very similar to Peaches, so she could very well be purebred, just not fitting the breed standard. Some Labs have a wavy growth of hair running down their spine. It'seems also not uncommon. for the hair of any breed to rise up some along g the spine when they are excited. The gold eyes and pinkish pigment is called "dudley". Labs that have it have chocolate Labs somewhere in their background.
