What breed(s)?
We met this puppy at a shelter, and hopefully she'll be coming home
with us on Monday. The only thing is, we'd really love to know what breed(s) she is. The shelter is guessing at German Shepherd crossed with who knows what ..... The photo isn't too clear, but you should at least get an idea of the markings, face and ear shape, etc. Here is the link to the photo: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...January406.jpg I really hope someone will be able to help - everyone keeps asking us what breed she is, and we can't keep saying "we have no idea"!! Thanks in advance. |

The shelter is guessing at German Shepherd crossed with who knows what I think you'd be safe saying Shepherd mix (you can tell people anything and they'll most likely believe it). She looks like a sweety. Good luck with her. Margaret |

She looks like a sweety. Good luck with her. Margaret I'm assuming the pup is roughly 8 weeks old and from this photos, she's going to be a modest-sized dog - not toy sized but she has nowhere near the bone and size of an 8 week old GSD pup. She's a dainty little thing. In fact except for the coloring, I don't see any GSD in her. And I don't see any other obvious breed(s) either. My prediction is that in a year, you'll have a 25 lb Classic All American (I've never figured out how to read headers so I'm making a wild guess you're writing from the US). BTW, if I understand it correctly, her coloring will change - the black will recede and she'll end up mostly tan with a possibly black saddle and some black tipped hairs. I'm sure Liisa, our Goddess of Canine Genetics will graciously correct me if I'm in error on this. Chris and her smooth collies, Pablo and Lucy the Goose |

Definitely some German Shepherd in her. She looks very sweet.
