Default Help Identify dog please!

I might be adopting one of this shelter dogs puppies,
but i have no clue what breed/mix it is. anyone have any ideas?

heres mom



and her puppies








she had 9 pups lol
i want to help by hopefully adopting one
but i need to atleast know a general size since no one know who dad is.

im guessing dad was some dog with ears down since all of them have floppy ears.

mom is 20 lbs. which is fairly light...thats about small/medium?
she sort of looks like a black Eskimo dog

THANKS!

To me it looks likes some kind of spitz type (keeshond, samoyed, eskimo) dog crossed with a schipperke. (pronounced skipper-key)



as for the puppies, looks like it had sex with half the neighborhood.

Don't go by the floppy ears. Many dogs have floppy ears as puppies, then come up after a few months. ie all shepherds.

She looks alot like the american eskimo we had except for AE's as far as I know only have white fur like the first puppy.

Our american eskimo was a great dog. She lived 16 years and was a great dog for us and companion for my mom after we grew up and went off to college.

Lab? Chow? Whichever, they are 100% mutts, not that that makes them bad dogs.

Just call the one you adopt a Laberchow and people will think its an expensive designer dog.
