My new "nieces"

My brother's bitch Stella gave birth to these two little female puppies four days ago. I call them red and blue. Does anyone recognize the breed?

This one is from shortly after birth. They have increased in weight by 50% since then. The bit of mom in the photo may give you a hint at the breed. Note also that the tails will have been docked after birth, but are their normal length here.

It is a rare breed so I'll give a hint if anyone asks.

Jim, they look like Shar pei. Am I even close?

Not even close.

No, not any of the spaniels, but they are in the "sporting" dogs group along with spaniels.

Well it's not alsatian's n' not Sankt Bernhard's. That's 'bout how much I know 'bout dogs as I'm a cat person...

Not either of those, but it is a European breed if that helps.

Some updated photos at about one week of age and approximately 2 lbs each:

They look *a bit* more like their breed. Any takers?

I want to say Bulgarian Legriders, but they have a more pronounced hump.

OK, I give up.

Very cute pups!

One last hint. They are natives of an Axis nation.
