Is this a White Dutch Shepherd Mix?

Post by Dlam »

:huh:
I recently adopted this dog

And I thought she was a white gsd at first, then maybe a malinois, or Australian kelpie, but now I just don't know ha-ha.

She's very well behaved and was already 3 years old when adopted. Very timid and shy but doesn't bite. Only really barks when played with. She was in the shelter for about a month and I decided to adopt her instead of a younger 3 month old dog that I hope would probably be okay...

I'd love to know if anyone can guess her lineage. Thanks

Definite no on the DS mix. Looks more like a type of cattle dog mix to me.

Ha-ha like this one?http://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/australian-cattle-dog/
I thought it might be also be this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Kelpie

UPDATE I think it maybe this dog https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Heeler


When I got her all it said was Shepherd Mix... Is Shepherd just a general term for herding groups? I'm so new at this I only new of the GSD.

More confirmation would be great...

I'd say no to DS. I'd say no to Kelpie, too. Kelpie dogs usually aren't white. Could be an Australian Cattle Dog mix or maybe a Koolie mix.

Wow I think it maybe a koolie or Texas heeler both of which have cattle dog mixed in.

A Shepherd is a herding dog, there are many types of them. This is not a DS
