Anita, I hope you're wrong about the lab mix, but now that you've brought it to my attention they do have lab ears. I love labs, think they're great, but our condo in FL has a 20# weight limit on dogs! My other chi did have the apple head, standup ears and pointed nose. My neighbor said they look like German shepherds. I would think lab or shepherd and chi mix would be a physical impossibility. My husbands thinks maybe there's a pug in the line somewhere. Whatever they are they are loved and already spoiled rotten.
