I'm having an identity crisis.

I am a purebred Labrador. I have AKC registration and the papers to prove it. Okay, so I ate the papers, but She salvaged what she could and you can still see my champion lineage. At least I think they were champions. Aren't champion dogs like gifted kids...everybody's got one?

Anyhow, I don't really look like a typical Labrador. I have been blessed with a dense coat of soft, white fur. Yes, very white, thank you very much. I have a ladylike narrow snout (or hog.) I have a tail which curls up over my backside. Very unLabrador-like. I have a small frame and a svelt build. Again, rather unlike those stocky, short-legged "English" Labradors. I am a beautiful specimen. But, a specimen of what? I'm beginning to wonder.

She saw a photo of an Akbash. Could it be that somewhere in my lineage, one of my ancestors strayed and bred outside my kind? Could I be an Akbash-Labrador, sort of like He is a Swedish-American?

Take a look at the following photos - one Akbash and one Labrador - and you tell me.
