[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Puppy showed up this morning, Help determine breed. (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 8/7/2020 5:07:10 PM EDT

So wife went to let our dog out this morning and this little fella was in our carport. Covered in ticks, briars and some fleas (we live pretty rural). Wife gave him two baths and fed him good. He Seems like a good little pup. She guesses he is 7-8weeks as he doesn’t have all of his baby teeth and weighed 13.8lbs. We had to list him with the county by law(and because it’s the right thing to do), but if no one can prove he is theirs, in 2weeks we can keep him if we wish to do so.

So does anyone have any idea what breeds he may be?

Mixed German Shepard I would think. He ears should be starting to stand up unless he is too young. Have a veterinarian look at him could be full
shepard sure looks like one to me. I have been around Geman Shepherd's for years. My shepherd
died 3 years ago.

I was thinking he was German, not sure what he is mixed with.

German mix or possibly a full long hair. Ears don’t stand up usually until later

Golden retriever / GSD, IMO.

Looks like a GSM and a cutey...
I'd have trouble giving him up if he stumbled onto our property.

If you guys are out that rural of an area, he is likely a pup, some redneck asshole dropped of rather than find him a good home. I HATE when people do that.

Download and app called Dog Scanner on your smart phone and try it a few times.

Yes my daughters and our other dog loves him. Wife is checking out that app now.

She went to our closest neighbors house this morning to ask them as they have 2 GSD’s. He said that it wasn’t theirs but that one of his dogs was a dump off/stray from 6years ago.

After looking at the pic with your other dog, any chance is a Dachshund?

Congrats on your new buddy. I know you will give him a great home. He looks like thoroughbred love to me.

GS mixed with a smaller longer hair breed.

Looks like it'll be a real cutie.

My GS/mal mix was a fantastic dog. Adored kids.

Not sure, but he doesn’t seem short legged. It’s hard to get a pic of him.

Thanks fellas. We took him for his first vet visit a few weeks ago. The vet said he was definitely mixed with something.

He’s a good pup and our kids love playing with him. It’s fun watching all the youngsters and the dogs outside chasing chickens and rough housing around

I had a ''Bear.'' Smartest damn dog I ever owned. Spitz, could watch another dog do a trick and then do it herself.
