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!
