Oh good (I mean not good!) I thought Birker was being down on herself. Glad I was mistaken.

Friend ended up with some rather unexpected Black and Tan labs a couple of years ago ?. I had to do some googling on that one.

There are very, very rarely black and tan schipperkes (or rather bicolour, with black mask and body and tan legs) - not permissible under any country’s standard but I’d have one in a heartbeat! It’s an attractive colour, I can see how it would appeal in a lab.

They did look like rottie crosses ?

I’ve absolutely no idea! I know Pen doesn’t fulfill any of the breed standard for conformation though. She’s the best ever dog, but looks like a part bred whippet. ?Is there no height limit for both sexes in the breed standard?
My young one is tiny as are her siblings, think she was 21kg at last weigh in, her father also small and never really topped 30kg, not ideal but big dogs break quicker, she's extremely fast and agile and if I come to a stile or a high fence, I have the last laugh

Bear is 21” to the withers, Mitch is 20 and Goose may or may not be 17. The measuring tape is apparently very worrying. This says height 20”, https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/breed-standards/gundog/spaniel-english-springer/
I‘m a bit surprised at the height, I thought Bear was big, maybe it’s just his MASSIVE head that makes me think that. ?

Yes, there is, or there certainly used to be. We took on an oversized black dog, who had apparently won several classes as a big pup, who couldn't be shown in adult classes.
