My new puppy Lila

Hello! I rescued Lila from Molly's Mutts Rescue in Dixon, KY back in May. Is she a DS mix? She is 4 months old now and about 20lbs.

Oh my goodness, what a cutie patootie. She adorable. Looks like she will be a big girl if she is only 4 months.

Lila is a gorgeous dog. It's really difficult to tell if there's any DS.

The proliferation of white is abnormal for DS, so she could be a GSD or Malinois mixed with one of the 100s of other brindle breeds.

If you really want to know for sure, you might consider either an Embark or Wisdom DNA test.

I got the Embark test so I should know for sure in a couple weeks. I figured the white markings are a bit unusual for DS, but everything else seems to point towards that or Malinois.

Thanks for the insight!

Did you ever find out with your dna test? She looks similar to my pup, so I'm curious!
