I've got several dogs that I am curious about, all of them are rescue dogs so the breeds were a guessing game. Two were strays and the third was abandoned as a puppy. The first my daughter's dog Pandora the one that was abandoned, the shelter guessed that she was a German Sheppard / Chow mix but she doesn't really look like either. We think she might be a Belgium Malinois which is similar to a German Sheppard but smaller which is what Pandora is. She weighs about 54 pounds.
The next dog is also my daughter's dog; Aries who is only six months old and was a stray though we don't think for very long. He was just called a Sheppard mix.
Lastly is my son's dog Penny. She was the other stray we think she is a German Spitz though my daughter likes to joke around and call her a over grown Pomeranian.
