I agree Harry is gorgeous. Can definitely see some staffie there 
Get him DNA tested to see what he is. We did that with our rescue mongrel staffie Lucy. Quite an interesting result. She was quite a mish-mash
His mum is a German Shepherd cross who arrived at the local rescue kennel heavily pregnant and had a litter of 14. She rejected them (very young herself) and so the litter was hand reared by the staff. 13 survived.
It's quite nice seeing all the others growing up on the Facebook page for the kennel. Quite a few have similar marking to Harry, there are a few tan and a couple of black, quite a varied bunch.

Wow, what a huge litter 
Just found a picture of Mum on the Facebook page.
You can see where the tan and black in the litter came from. As for the brindle, that must come from dad.

My guess is Rhodesian Ridgeback, but it's only a guess...
Correct, he's a 5 year old RR. Super breed, very stubborn and headstrong with some interesting traits ... for instance, leaning on guests in our house even when he's never met them which seems to be a common RR behavior that we guess is showing them their trust. Does worry a few people at first when they have over 9 stone of dog leaning on them.JEA1K said:

Thanks REESE, these two are bang up to date pics...taken by OH just now at home in the garden
My reply to the second pic was "I know it's his Birthday, however he's a little young for a cigar...."
What a lovely boy he has become. Do you see any others of the litter?My reply to the second pic was "I know it's his Birthday, however he's a little young for a cigar...."
Yes one of the other boys is local (unfortunately he has not been trained very well or socialised with other dogs) and I follow the girl of the litter's "master" on Instagram....she's doing great.
Some Photos of Eddie - our rottie cross, rescue from Dogs Trust in Leeds - he has been a fabulous addition to the family totally bonkers but adorable. Just had his ACL repaired and I can;t recommend Holly House vets in North Leeds highly enough.
a couple of pics as a youngster - still with his DT collar on. The ones in the car are when we were taking my step son to Uni and Eddie wanted to come with
