I am in the process of adopting a puppy from my local SPCA. The litter of 5 were brought in when they were 6 weeks old, my husband, daughter and I went and picked one out but I asked them to keep her with the rest of the litter until she is 8 weeks old (that way she would learn pack order, bite inhibition, etc) they agreed and are actually keeping the whole litter together now until they are 8 weeks. The owner said that the father was a yellow lab and the mother was an australian shepherd, but the spca thinks they are lab/catahoula leopard dog. I have done tons of research on all three and regardless of what the mother was we still want the pup. However, I am on a mission to find out! One female and one male are light blonde with white paws and a white stripe of their foreheads, two males are the blue/black merle and the last female (ours) is black/brown and white tri colored. They don't have webbed feet like the catahoula and they don't have the bobbed tail like the aussie. Does anybody know any very distinguishing traits of either Dog that could help me figure this out. I get her at the end of this week.
