New From Chicago, IL

Post by Lexington »

Hi! Brand new to the forum! We've just taken in a 2 year old stray from a shelter in Chicago and we were told that Lexington is a Shepherd mix. I've looked through so many photos of other dogs to try to get an idea of her mix, but I'm more confused than when I started research :huh: .

I think I've decided that Lexington is a Dutch Shepherd and a Whippet mix. Her ears naturally lay back along her head and she's so skinny that her body looks like a sighthound. She's light! She only weighs 40lbs (18kg) and she doesn't bark at all! I think she's more like a whippet than a Dutch shepherd, but I just pray I can confirm that she has some Dutch Shepherd in her because of how much I looooooove DSDs.

She's beautiful like a Dutch Shepherd, so, what do you think? Do you see any :dshead: in her? I took the liberty of taking the photos with her ears up and listening.

Thanks for looking!

Album with large photos!

Your new Lexi is a doll! What a face!

I don't know about the DS part, but bless your for taking this girl into your home and heart.

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!
