There is currently no way to find out with 100% certainty. There are DNA tests, but they only identify 100 of the 400+ breeds last I heard. And no one knows how accurate they actually are.

From that one photo, Blue Heeler (AKA Australian Cattle Dog with "blue" coloring) seems to be most prominent, as does Lab. But one photo is not always accurate. To get more accurate guesses, please post more photos.

She is a Pit Bull/American Staffordshire Terrier/Smooth Fox Terrier mix.

I know your thinking why I said Smooth Fox Terrier, she has some Smooth Fox Terrier in her straight front legs. The coat is more of a Smooth Fox Terrier, but can turn up on any of them. The ears are tipped over, but also more of a Pit Bull kind of ear.

Impossible to tell anything in a 3 month old pup.... you won't know size or whether her ears are up or down or tipped, coat length, etc., until she is grown.

I think she looks more like a pointer. My guess would be a pointer maybe a little border collie and lab thrown in there. I would have to say I really don't see the blue heeler or boxer features.

When she gets at least 8 months old it will be a lot easier to tell. Pup go through such a huge change by the time they reach that age. Bandit for example looks like a totaly different dog from when he was a pup.

SUNSHINE

she sure has a classic Pointer head, her ears are short, could be some Blue Heeler or Boxer, she could have Lab in her. I think maybe the guy got it right EXCEPT maybe it might be Pointer (English or GSP) substitiuted for one of the breeds. Out here Blue Heeler/Pointer mixes are pretty common. Hunting season accidents I guess. She does look a little heftier than the usual cross so maybe that's where the Lab or Boxer comes in. If she has a "herding instinct" might be blue heeler OR maybe Border Collie which she strongly resembles.
