I have to ask because I am curious to what everyone guesses...
This is my 2 year old dog Lexie. What breed/mix of breeds do you think she is?

Lexie is gorgeous! what a super shiney coat..I believe Lexie is a mix of burmese mountain dog with
a splash of lab and possibly some St. Bernard..what ever she is, she is a true beauty:)

Looks like a great Swiss Mountain dog to me! But I think she may have a little mix in their too.

I'd say Greater Swiss Mountain Dog too. With so many backyard breeders these days, dogs can be "purebred" while not being a true representation of the breed so it's hard to say whether she's a mix or not. She's gorgeous though. Looks like a happy girl! :heart:

Wow, she is gorgeous. She looks mostly Swissy, but she could have Berner, or even something like Golden in her to get a bit more coat. She is stunning!

Thanks everyone! We bought her as an AKC-standard Bernese Mountain Dog. Saw both her parents and they were beautiful average bernese mountain dogs! She weighs about 70 pounds and her parents weighed 75 (mom) and 90 (dad) pounds. I question whether she is part golden retrienver, especially since the breeders also bred goldens... But anyway thanks for the input!

Don't Bernese have longer hair? Did the parents have longer hair?

I would say Bernese and Lab. She has the colors of a Bernese but her body type looks like lab. Especially the tail in the first pic.

Well, her face certainly looks Berner, and she has a beautiful face, she just doesn't have a ton of coat or furnishings it looks like.

Exactly why I think it is so strange. She isn't broad-shouldered and her fur is way shorter, but everything else looks 100% berner...

I went with Bernese Mountain Dog, but I'm not sure what it's mixed with.
