So this is Roxy. She's a wonder mutt as I like to call it. Me and the family have always wondered what breeds she's got mixed in her.
I figured for sure a terrier of some sort. Rottweiler maybe? Shepherd somewhere? I hardly have a clue. But she's a stocky little 2 year old with a funny under-bite and a whole lot of personality. So figured I'd ask you arfcommers what you thought she was. I'm curious to see responses!

The color pattern she has is what all Doberman and Rottweilers have, it's called black-and-tan or black with tan points...however at least a dozen other breeds have 99% of the dogs with that same coloration, and 100 breeds have that coloration as one of many, but still present.
Is there any reason you think Rott beyond the coloration? Why do you think GSD? I don't see anything that would make be think GSD. How tall at the shoulders and how heavy is the dog? (measure, don't guess) Dogs aren't just different because of physical reasons, dogs are different breeds more because they have different brains/software. Does your dog do anything behavior-wise that gives an inclination of breed? The only thing that actually stands out to me is a fairly short muzzle.

If you really want to know, buy one of those genetic tests. Even those aren't very accurate, but there aren't any real stand-out features to point in one direction or another. You have a very mixed up mutt that is several generations away from anything purebred.

In addition, when genetic testing is done, very often, what people thought were clear indicators of one breed often turn out to be the result of mixing two breeds quite different than what the person assumed. |

More than likely Canis Muttis Americanis.
He does look a little like a Treeing Feist though.

I know they say not to use them on purebreds because it would give an inaccurate result. My thought was "why?" If it's purebred, the results should indicate that, assuming the test is legitimate. |

Every purebred dog is a mix off breeds somewhere in there past.

The genetic testing crap is not very accurate however some of them are fairly accurate. I'll give it maybe 75% accuracy at best. |

That, without a doubt, is your standard issue purebred Bavarian Teufelshunde.

But then again...Dobermans, Rottweilers, Miniature Pinschers, Manchester Terrier, and a few other breeds have black and tan coats as well as the floppy ear trait. |

My first thought was Manchester terrier mixed with something a little stockier in build.
