Potato Pancakes Grows Up
Meet Miss Potato Pancakes, my coworker's majestic young puppy:
I thought you guys could help identify breed just out of curiosity. She was listed as a Chow X, but she's HUGE. I'd say Akita huge. The mom was a yellow Labrador X with tiny ears. She has the fattest little curliest puppy tail ever. She's pretty honkin' adorable.

Some labs get pretty big. Could be chow or akita. The wrinkly face certainly reminds me of a chow. Sooo cute no matter what, that's for sure!
I can't wait to see how she grows up. She's so rolly!
Looks like a Lab X Chow to me. Possibly Akita mix on one side.
She's 12/13 weeks and 22 pounds. She's a rotund little pup.
I like Chowkitador. I'll tell my coworker than. Her other dog is a Chow/Jindo/Lab (supposedly). Pancakes looks similar, but not quite the same. She's much heavier in bone structure and her face is much broader than his.
She's a little in love with Chows and Jindos now. I'm trying to turn her onto NK, but Takoda isn't really helping me any.
Btw, her name made me think of this:
I figured I'd give you guys an update on how she's growing. She really still looks very "Akita-ish" to me.
Labs have wrinkles in the forehead like chows do. My guess is she's got GSD or some sort of shepherd in her
At least... everyone thought my AA (when we were really young, we had an AA as a family dog) was a GSD mix (he was reddish on the face and body with white "stockings" and tail tip).
Her coat is pretty coarse. Her tail has gotten progressively curlier as she's gotten older. It was more of a sickle as a baby (in the first pictures) and now it curls completely over her back. It's VERY thick. She's getting very wary of strangers now that she's getting older, even with the healthy socialization she gets.
She has huge paws. The rescue said she'd be about 50 pounds full grown. I laughed.
Her "mom" is happy with her anyway and usually says she's Chow and Akita - she wanted a dog who would be similar to her Chow/Jindo/Lab X in temperament and she sure got it.
I think she's going to be very handsome when she grows up - as strange as it is to apply "handsome" to a girl.
Our friend has a lab/chow the same age as Meichan. The coat is short and glossy like a lab, ears are tiny like a chow. As a puppy she looked more like a black version of Potato but now she looks very different at 9-month-old now and >60#. Super high energy, they run/walk 7 miles/day!!
Cute, anyway.
I love this puppy. She's too cute. Her tail curls more and more every time I see her!
I love that both of my coworker's dogs have purple/purple spotted tongues.
Rooney's is entirely purple and Pancakes has a splotchy purple/pink tongue.
Our yards looked gross here.
Pancakes is a very handsome (pretty?) puppy. She's funny - and I see a lot of similarities to an Akita in her personality... but that might just be because I'm familiar with the American Akita. She's cautious of strangers, but not overly so - suspicious and quiet. She won't become aggressive with a stranger, but she goes through the "wait until I've figured you out" retreat. With other dogs, though, she's rough-and-tumble and wants to go-go-go. She's never met a dog who was a stranger.
It may also worth mentioning that her older dog (in the first picture of the last post) was a supposed Jindo/Chow & Lab mix.
Ms. Pancakes is now bigger than her "brother" and still growing. She'll probably be a larger medium/smaller large dog. I love her. I'm so jealous.
Her name though! Poor dog!
