    i'm gona go with cattle dog/ gsd mix...

    ACD/GSD would be my guess, too.  I see a lot of Australian Cattle Dog in her puppy picture.

    • Gold Top Dog

     agree. ACD / GSD mix

    thanks all for the info...to me she looks like a german shepherd, but has the merle with two black spots on her back, and she has tall legs and skinny unlike a german shepherd, {when she was a puppy the vet said he thought she was a cattle dog and would more than likely be short and stout}

    its funny, everytime someone sees her they ask what kind of a dog she is and i say im not really sure! {and now with our new puppy merlin, the same thing and im definately not sure about him! }

    thanks so much....her ears seem to have been the size they are now when she was a puppy and she has {mostly} grown into them ;)

    thanks so much...when she was little the vet said she was a cattle dog and would be short and stout when she grew..{she is actually tall and skinny so im not sure where that came from!} she is a pure mix breed, haha

    German Shepherd/ Australian cattle dog is my guess too. Cute! Edited to say, many Shepherds are tall and lanky with legs that seem to go ob forever, lol. My T-Bone is a good example of this body style.

    I was going to say that too Beejou. I have never NOT considered the GSD as a thinner/lightly boned/built breed. They do not have a stout appearance to me. Certainly not in the way an English Foxhound or Akita or even Norweigan Elkhound or Chow, has "bone".

    ...Norweigan Elkhound...

    You included them just for me, didn't you, Gina?  LOL

    I love them. If they and Keeshonden both weren't so LOUD I would probably have owned one by now LOL!

    Wow!  I didn't know that.  I grew up with Elkhounds.  Funny, I'm only hearing as an adult about them being barky.  I don't remember the ones we had barking except for when someone came on the property.  Then again, we lived on a farm, and they had lots of stuff to keep them occupied.

    They're supposed to be tho, it's part of their job Smile. Like Finkies. I like those too but again...the mouths! I cannot take anything that barks for foolish reasons. Yes I know I own Beagles...but mine are not normal in any way. Like the rest of us here at my house.

    thanks again for the great info..my family owned german shepherds when i was little and they were pretty tall, but ours were pretty hefty so i didnt realize they could be different, haha... absolutely love sheperds so i was excited to see her face take on a more shepherd look, as a pup i didnt really see shepherd... t-bone is beautiful!

    • Gold Top Dog

    Oh thanks :) T-Bone also loves the pretty ladies.. he'd go crazy for Mystique, LOL!
