Puto.
We have crossed bred dogs in the house and they're all related. My mom bought a male Yellow Labrador Retriever and the seller said he is a pure bred Lab. He is now 8 months old. When I walk him outside, many people would ask his breed. I told them he's a Labrador but many would doubt that. There was also one guy who said that he's a Mestizo, that he doesn't look like a pure Lab. I just wanna ask if my dog is really a pure Lab. :)

Answer
From the photo, to me, your dog looks purebred.  It's very common for people who don't know dogs or don't know Labradors to ask.  I get asked every time I take my champion boys out in public.  I know they are purebred because I bred them myself.  

But the only REAL way to be 100% sure that a dog is purebred is to buy him from a reputable breeder and obtain a kennel club pedigree with the dog/puppy.
