My vote is on whippet cross, lurcher would be my term for him... just based off of his structure, he looks quite narrow in build and slight in the chestial regions.
HE'S SOOOOOO CUTE. He should have a badge of honorary Dutch shepherd. I may or may not have poked his nose with my finger on my computer screen and said 'boop' I hope I'm not the only one who does these things.

Tell us about yourself: I have had a DS for almost a year. Gwen and I are considering participating in PSA and or possible Ring Sport. I also have a Great Dane. I have grown up around working GSDs and my last GSD was a working K9 officer. I am all about dogs and animals in general and want to learn as much as I can about training.

He is adorable 8-) and thanks for adopting.
I do not think that his brindle comes from a Dutch Shepherd though. :oops:
I can fully understand the sighthound (whippet?) x GSD cross label. He has the head of shepherd kind of dog. If the ears decide to stand (ah! And there are tips for that too, in case they need help) he will look the part. He could grow into the lanky body, but what sways my vote away from the DS heritage, is the excessive (for DS's) white. I do not see bulldog with legs like that. I expect sighthound x herder.
