Couldn't change my camera setting fast enough, but I still captured the joy of this very good dog. :)

Does anyone know the breed of this dog?

Here, it's closer, the water a little deeper. Those ears kept flapping. :)

Edit: Thanks, folk! The consensus seems to be Boxer.

Looks kinda Boxer-y

I thought the same. Perhaps not 100%, but definitely Boxer-y.

@brownhamer Thanks!

@CStamp it is some kind of Boxer dog with EXCELLENT ears
Show threadIanto JonesMar 4
@CStamp perhaps a boxer with uncropped ears, but could be a mixed breed with predominant boxer. Maybe Boxer + Dalmatian.

@CStamp the level of pure joy that dog is experiencing is glorious.

@CStamp It appears to be a boxer that hasn’t had its ears cropped. Which I’m a fan of (not docking tails or cropping ears).

@bplein Thanks! Yeah, me, too. I have friends with an unmutilated Doberman, and it’s cool to see it with its floppy ears. :)

@CStamp They appear more friendly and less scary. There’s some notion as well that dogs with docked tails can’t signal their happiness as easily, making other dogs wary of them. At least I’ve heard that and like to believe that not docking the tail of your Doberman or Rottweiler will make them better dog-citizens and more accepted by humans and other dogs.

@CStamp That is not a dog, that is a spotted alligator.
