I don't know exactly. I never saw the father. The mother was part lab, and part something else, because she was a little smaller than a lab and she was black with white on her chest with short hair. She probably weighed about 50 pounds. Brady weighs about 83 pounds or so, he loves to watch out the window, and he herds me, and the cat quite frequently. So , I think his mother had herself a little fun with one of the local farm dogs, since the people I got him from live out in the country. She had 13 puppies. Half were the coloring of Brady, and the other half were black with white on their chests. I will try to find pics of all the puppies later and see if I can scan them and post them somehow.
