Ok so I volunteer at a shelter and these two came in today. I been wanting a lab and I know these are not full blood but they look like a lab pup to me . They have ghost spots on there ears kinda like a Dalmatian. What do y'all think??   Think I be worth a try??

From what I have learned from this forum any dog can be a hunting dog. It comes down to training and the dogs drive.
Iv got hogs an can show you a good time.

I'm no expert though. Hard to tell at this age really. When I was in high school I rescued a dog that was supposed to be pointer/lab mix and it looked about like that. Grew up and ended up looking just like a pit.

Mutts RULE!
If you like their temperament and they seem into you then by all means give'em a home and a chance to prove to you what they can do.
Patience is the key

From what I recall, Dalmatian pups start out all white... if he's more Dalmatian than lab, he will not make a good hunting dog imo...
