If you're saying that he is all black however, I would certainly suspect a crossbreed. With lab crossbreeds I have seen the markings that you have described on the toes.

In breed standard for a rottweiler having white markings other than an occasional white individual hair is a full disqualification.

Did they give you registration papers for this puppy?? Is he supposed to be a purebred?

well no registration papers i dident pay extream money 4 him but i did see the mom and dad and they were beasts, also i saw his liter mates and they all looked good 2 me i just liked that he was all black and dident really pay much attention 2 the white markings just thinking that he was unique .....so you think he may have a bit of lab in him?
i hope not thats not what i wanted but if he was 2 b mixed with lab how would that affect my pup ? would that detract frm the rott in him by much ?
