Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I feel like it's a lot more likely there's another breed in there somewhere...

It's almost entirely black, dalmatians are white with black spots.

Rottweiler was my first thought

That was my rhought as well with the slightly larger boby proportions and coloration

I know the word doesn't make sense, but that's still a pretty funny coincidence ("rhought" kind of sounds like "Rott"-weiller)

I remember one of our dogs got mixed puppies too. All the same father but apparently genes can jump back to the original breeds our breed came from (poodle pointer, and we got a few pointer pups). Very rare, and a financial loss :)

Some have red/ brown spots.

Yep. This is like calling mixed dogs "designer breeds." Nah, those are just mutts.
