    help identify my beautiful puppy please

    Hi everyone

    I am an English first time dog owner and this is Finn my georgeous rescue puppy.

    Can anyone help to spot the dominant breeds in him please? Collie is the obvious one. Some have said German and some have said Belgian shepherd ?

    Help!

    Thanks

    Not sure if I really do see much collie in him at all other then his tail. I would guess shepherd and perhaps the shape of his body would even make me say Lab.  Seems to be a mix of a mix of many breeds. A long shot, but maybe he might have Black Mouth Cur in there as well?

    He really is a good looking dog whatever he may be, welcome to the forum!

    I dont see collie. The head looks german sheperd like. The body, maybe some lab or a mix of other breeds. So my guess is the mom or dad was gsd and the other was a mix

    I would have said GSD mix or even GSD but there's that white tail tip....  Could also be a Malinois mix too.  Hard to tell without a full body shot and not knowing the size.

    and dang ... all i get is a red X - it won't show the picture.

    Thanks Xebby

    Intresting that you think Lab, the rescue centre suggested Lab as well when he was tiny, I had sort of ruled that out as I assumed he was a Collie  and something else Shepherd wise, think it ws the ears and the white paws and chest that made me go down that road.

    Thanks All

     I had been told Malinois as well so that is definately a possibility as his shape seems a bit more that than a GSD too.

     Oh well. He's lovely whatever he is  just thought it might give me heads up temperament wise. He's been a star so far so not too concerned.

    Thanks again everyoneBig Smile

    all I got was a red X too but when I clicked on that the pic came up.

     Malinois would be way less likely than GSD.  He looks like a fairly small dog, so maybe something smaller mixed with GSD?

    He's got the kind face of a German Shepherd and some herding breed maybe.  He's beautiful.

     Ah, now I see your dog, he is beautiful.

    He is very pretty!

    I'd say GSD/Collie mix....  That mix seems to be popular as working/herding/guards for livestock, at least around here.
