Jordan's Origin Story

When we first adopted Jordan we knew she was part yellow lab.  For one she looks like a yellow lab, and two the lady we adopted her from said her mother was a yellow lab.  But we could never really figure out what else she was mixed with.  The breeds we heard most often were Pit and Beagle but we were never completely convinced.  Recently we were watching Dogs 101 on Animal Planet and one of the breeds they covered was a Rhodesian Ridgeback and there is was.  It all started to make sense, some of the traits (both physical and psychological) that we couldn't tie to labs were present in the Ridgeback.  The Ridgebacks in the show were all very active, running around and leaping in the air like our little monster.  They were also bread to hunt lions in Africa which might explain why Jordan hates cats so much.  Okay, that might be subjective, but there is no arguing against the muscular build, ear shape, and head shape that are downright Ridgeback.  Another bit of evidence looking back is that Jordan would always gravitate towards labs at the park.  We figured it was because she is part lab and recognized these dogs as sort of her family.  When we first started going to the dog park Jordan also gravitated to a group of Ridgebacks that went for a while.  We didn't think much of it at the time but looking back I think Jordan may have recognized them as part of her family too. 

Lastly, I submit some photo evidence.  Doing a quick google image search for Rhodesian Ridgeback Lab mix I found some surprising pictures.  Judge for yourself and see if they don't look like matches for Jordan.
