She is very cute! She certainly looks like she's at least part GSP, although the thickness of her tail at the base suggests maybe lab too to me. Just an educated guess. Welcome!

I think she looks like lab/pit mix.

If you really want to find out with about 90% certainty, you could pick up one of the otc "doggie dna tests".  Costs about $60...

Is the red dog in the photos actually her sister, meaning littermate? Or is that another pup you own. If that's truly her sister, I change my vote to Vizsla/lab.

You know,you're right. I went back and looked again and it was posted that is her sister.I missed it the first time.
It could be red nose pitbull.

It might be easier to guess if we can get a clear whole-body profile shot.

Yes, a GSP tail is thin like a whip all the way to the base where it attaches to the hind end. Take a look at this adult for comparison:

Then it sounds to me like you found a special girl, and she found a special human. Have fun with her!

I've seen quite a few known GSP mixes being involved w/ sled dogs. This dog *might* be a GSP cross even with the 'beagle-ish' face, but again it's going to be hard to call without being able to see the outline of the dog clearly. Pointer crosses tend to have a fairly distinctive body type/proportion even if they're bred down a lot... the waist 'tuck', hip structure (usually with fairly prominent hip bones), leg length, and tail & neck outline will often give it away.

FWIW many GSPs when mixed with other breeds seem to throw a lot of black or black and white dogs.

A lot of sledding and Skijoring competiters breed GSP/husky crosses as they are awesome in fact like 80% of all maybe even more alaskan huskies have GSP in them.

It depends on the AH line if they have pointer bred in or not, but no doubt they've really taken the sled dog scene by storm. Interestingly enough, waves of bird dog have been added going back a looong time. Gareth Wright's breeding (40s? 50s?) still shows up in a lot of top flight racing pedigrees and his 'formula' supposedly involved folding irish setter in. Of course this was long before the breed became primarily show dogs.

Skijoring is a GSP specialty. Almost any marginally motivated dog can dabble in it, but the most ideal candidates (especially for racing) are strong, fast, REALLY hard driving/tough headed dogs that are still responsive and will come back if kicked loose in an emergency. GSPs fit the bill in spades.
