Dutch shepherd mix but with what?

Post by dani346 »

So I am almost certain that my dog Shadowfax is a Dutch shepherd. I adopted her from a shelter and all they had listed for her was Dutch shepherd which I totally agree with. I'm just not sure what else she is. Does anyone have any ideas what she could be?

And I'm sorry the pictures aren't of a very good quality. If you'd like to see more let me know.

I know she's not full Dutch because her ears are floppy and her face is a little too wide.

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Hard to see in the first pic, but think some more front shots need to be posted to make a guess.

Based on the second picture - I would say Dutch Shepherd and bullfrog! Also explains the blunt nose.

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

I would agree with the possible pitbull link... I've had two pitbull mixes, my old Rottie/Pit, Cedar, (and he used to do the "Frawg-dawg" pose, as I called it when he did the thing with laying on his belly and his legs frogged out behind him, *lol*) And Maiyou, who I still have, she's now 12. Her mother was a pitbull mix, and her father was a New Guinea Singing Dog. Like DS, the Singer has a pointier face and upright ears, and the shape of Maiyou's face isn't unlike Shadowfax's... with the wider cheekbones and ears with the tops folded down but set on a base that looks like an upright-ear beginning.

Those pictures are HILARIOUS! What a cutie. I'm seconding...or thirding the pit. Gives the nice face widening.
