the bat ears look alot like our dog Nya :) She's suppose to be part black lab... cause she's all black and she's got web toes... but we can't figure out what the rest of her is :)
 

heehee.. that's funny you say bat ears, becuase she reminded me of my kitty ellie the first time i went to see her - all black and shaking with her tail between her legs! i called him ellie the batcat... he had big ears, but he eventually grew into them.. this girl is done growing, though.

is nya small or big or...? i am guessing this girl is part lab but who knows what the rest of her is either. they said JRT but obviously that was a wild guess when she was a puppy.
 

Nya is a medium sized dog.. a bit smaller than a lab, bout the same size as Nox... well when Nox was younger, cause now she's a freaking cow. (she even moos, I swear) Nox was a runt of a lab/german shep mix. So she's slightly smaller than the female of both breads. I used to call Nya "Bat dog" but I had to stop cause I figured she can't tell the diff between "Bat" and "Bad".
Here's a pic of her as a puppy, don't have any recent ones:

Is her coat coarse and tight? almost water proof?
