German Sheperd Mix?
Re: German Sheperd Mix?
I find it sometimes difficult to really tell what breeds a dog might be until they're a bit older. I actually just read an article talking about how difficult it is to visually determine what mix of breeds a dog might be.
I looked at the photo in your profile, I definitely see the german shep but not sure what else. No matter what her other half is, she's definitely a cutie!
Thanks! We just love her! We're just wondering why she isn't getting as big as we thought. We have her vet appointment next week though, so we'll see what she thinks.
I agree, it is really early to tell, but she's definitely got German Sheperd features.
My pup is mixed with German Shepard too..she has all of the coloring and people oftern mistake her being a gshep puppy but we assure them she's full grown. It's hard to say what they are mixed with but we've heard that behavior traits will help to deteremine that as she gets olderl. She's super cute! But with all gshep mixes, make sure you train her and watch her behavior closer as she gets older. They are known to be protectors. Our vet warned us that right around the 2 year mark, her behavior might change and be somewhat more aggressive towards those that get close to our family. We didnt really heed her advice since she was mixed, but let me tell you...right around 2 years she became super protective and no one gets close to my husband or I.
I've heard of that too. We definitely keep a close eye on her, especially with two other dogs in the house. I don't want her pickin up bad habits or teaching them bad habits.
The part that's been really cool with her is watching her eyes change shape. I can't wait to see if she ends up with sheperd ears.
