What is he ?? (mix breed question)

I can see Golden but no German Shepherd. Too fluffly to be a mal but maybe a mix of chow and something else.

is it really german shepherd mixed with chow chow? i just bought a puppy that looks really similar to your pet. I hope you can help me in taking care of this breed. She's 2 months old. I'm a bit scared of what I've read and heard about german shepherd/chow mix dog.

is it really a german shepherd/chow mix? thank you so much in advance.

What color is her tongue? That's often a Chow give-away! The good news is all the bad things you've heard about Chows or shepherds are the result of ignorant owners.

If she is that mix, she will like be fluffy, smart, and maybe a little stubborn, but all those can make a great dog! Sign her up for some obedience training as quickly as you can, and in the meantime, start with basics like leash training now, while she's still small enough so you have total control! She's adorable, and I bet she'll be a great dog, just keep her busy and give her plenty of things she's ALLOWED to chew on - and lock away all your good shoes for the time being!

Just because a dog's tongue is blue or spotted doesn't mean it has chow in him/her. I have seen purebred chows that don't have blue tongues. At 8 weeks it really hard to tell what your pup is. A chow/GSD isn't really a "bad" combination. Your dog looks more shepherdy than chow to me to be honest. Really cute, just enjoy him!

her tongue is red. as of know i consider her as german shepherd chow mix, cos i've seen videos and pics of golden retriever/chow mix and it doesn't look like my ginger. she loves being alone and really loves to sleep. she's too quiet and sweet.
