Imagine if a Labrador fell in love with a Wiener Dog and their kid inherited all the personality and none of the proportion. That's Lanky. This long, low, ludicrously lovable boy has a body that defies explanation-pictures don't do him justice. You really have to see him awkwardly lope across the yard to fully grasp the comedic genius of his anatomy.
Lanky is a walking optical illusion: from the side, he's a Labradachshund. From the front, he's a low rider with Labrador eyes of loyalty. And from behind? Well... let's just say you'll be laughing, always.
Personality-wise, Lanky's got the suspicious, dramatic flair of a Wiener Dog when meeting new people (prepare to be side-eyed until he's decided you're worthy), but once you're in his inner circle, he flips the switch to full Labrador-mode: sweet, loyal, and ready to follow you to the ends of the earth, or at least to the fridge.
Lanky's still learning the ropes of life and would benefit from some patient training and gentle exposure to the big wide world. He's shy at first, and prefers a quiet home without cats (they're just way too chaseable), and no small children (he doesn't speak toddler). But pair him with a confident, friendly female dog and some understanding humans, and you'll see this lanky loaf blossom.
Fair warning: you will not go unnoticed with Lanky. Strangers will stop you. Photos will be taken. You may become a minor celebrity in your neighborhood. So if you're looking for a dog who flies under the radar, keep scrolling. But if you're ready to be the talk of the town and laugh every single day, Lanky's your guy.
