Cross German

My dog is German Shepard cross Labrador. Wants to know how to find out whether its a pure breed?

My dog is 8 weeks old & it does not have a nose which is completely black. I want to know whether it is a disqualification?

If one of the parents was chocolate or yellow Lab, the pup might very well have a lighter colored nose, like that parent.

No, being a Lab x Shepherd, your dog is NOT a pure bred. However, it is a cross between two very good breeds and likely will be a wonderful pet for your family. Both breeds are eager to please the humans in their family, both are very intelligent. Shepherds are occasionally too aggressive with strangers, Labs too friendly. Mixing the breeds results in just about the perfect mix!

I am not at all sure what 'disqualification' you are refering to. The only time I think of disqualification in dogs is in the AKC show ring, and as your pup is in no way going to be entering that arena, I am at a loss to what you are talking about.
