Here’s a Swiss mountain dog.
I’m sure he’s a mix still but I don’t see any German short hair pointer traits. I learned that there’s four different Swiss mountain dogs.

Kevin’s gonna be a big mah fucka.
Ya I’m learning this the other day. My day had the Bernese mtn dog. Really nice.Gonna help ya out a bit here. These are the 4:
They range from big to small, but it seems Kevin has some big goofy mixed within.
I can almost guarantee you he's not a Swiss Mountain Dog. How can I be so certain you ask? Because no one owns them, most people have never even heard of them. If someone is buying one it's because they specifically want that dog, and there's very little likelihood they're letting their fancy pants dog fuck around with some other breed.Doing good.

I’m telling everyone he’s a Swiss mountain dog and there’s nothing you can do about it.I can almost guarantee you he's not a Swiss Mountain Dog. How can I be so certain you ask?

My guess would be ya boi is a hound/rottweiler mix. Pounds are absolutely full of husky/rottweiler/lab/hound mixes. But make no mistake I'm not talking shit. He's cute as fuck and as long you're giving him a good like and he makes you and your family happy that's all that matters.
be careful. some kid is going to ask you what type of dog it is. and in the back of your mind, you're going to be thinking of @BeardOfKnowledgeI’m telling everyone he’s a Swiss mountain dog and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Ya I was going to say when I read the first page that it is a short hair Bernese mountain dog mix.I’m telling everyone he’s a Swiss mountain dog and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Like one of these? I thought this was just some gimmick thing.Ya I was going to say when I read the first page that it is a short hair Bernese mountain dog mix.
Great looking dog my dude.
Ps they have great temperament and fantastic family dogs. Very good to train and also not a super high energy dog. Just be careful when it comes to food the geniuses will eat themselves dead. Also from the bernese I've experienced first hand those fancy food bowls with swirls in them so they have to angle just right to get at food is helpful to slow down how fast they eat....they could choke themselves lol
Oh manners wise the dog I deal with is fantastic...takes treats so nice it's comical but she hoovers down food like nobody's business...and yes that's the exact bowl I'm talking about.Like one of these? I thought this was just some gimmick thing.
He’s doing awesome taking treats muchmore polite each day imstead trying to take my hand along with them. He’s picked up basic fetch really good too bringing the ball or whatever right to us. My last 2 pitties had zero interest on fetch or any sort of water fun. They’d walk up to lakes edge until their chest hit and that’s it. Kevin will be getting some lake time any day now and I’m hoping he goes head first off the docks. Just need it to warm up a bit more here.
If you call it Kevin or Stephen or something I'll come stab you.@BeardOfKnowledge any thoughts/comments on silver labs?
I've still been looking around for lab pups, and there is a litter nearby that's about two weeks old. I don't know much about the silvers and not sure I've seen one around before, but I think they're pretty much standard and typical labs?
The pups do look great!

I had a buddy in college that had two dogs...named Kevin and Jason lolIf you call it Kevin or Stephen or something I'll come stab you.

Kevin and Jason are 2/3s of the local morning radio show that’s been on for years and years. Virginia is the third lol.I had a buddy in college that had two dogs...named Kevin and Jason lol
People would ask their names and then be like WTF haha. He was a weird fella though.
This guy had moved into a new house, and after he got to know his neighbor better, he found out that the neighbor almost called the cops on him one time. The dogs were out back and being ornery and not listening, and he was out there yelling "Kevin! Jason! You little shits!! Get the fuck inside NOW!" or something along that line. His neighbor thought he was yelling at his kids and was about to beat them. His neighbor told him that he was outside listening in case he started hearing kids scream/cry or something and he was going to call the cops if he though kids were being beat lolKevin and Jason are 2/3s of the local morning radio show that’s been on for years and years. Virginia is the third lol.
No idea if the coat colour changes anything more than just the looks. Those a awesome dogs. I remember reading up on bull terriers and the white ones were very prone to deafness so maybe read up to if if that coat alters anything else.@BeardOfKnowledge any thoughts/comments on silver labs?

I googled a bit, and it sounds like they silvers are basically chocolate labs with a recessive gene that changes the color. Everything else sounds like it’s the same as far as being a typical lab. There is a form of alopecia that the silvers can get, but most are fine and don’t have any issuesNo idea if the coat colour changes anything more than just the looks. Those a awesome dogs.
