Need help with breed ID!

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

She is GORGEOUS! And I do see some resemblance to my own Draker. I would say Collie/Shep as well.

Why does it matter????

People often come in to the grooming shop and say they have an X/Y cross, and it looks nothing like that. So, do they know this for a fact (saw the mom and the dad) or did someone at a shelter just put that idea into their head?

If you like the dog then you should STILL like the dog even if you do not know its heritage.

Actually Jen, it doesn't matter a whit. It's just fun to guess.

It's fun to guess and I have to put something on Petfinder!

[ramanth]

She's gorgeous!!

I'd say GSD, collie, husky?

I definately see a Draker resemblance.

but the point is that it is a guess and since you do not know you should not speculate. (in my opinion)
Although I too, like to guess, people will adopt according to what they read, and I am not sure that is a good thing.

When you post a dog you have to put something in the breed area or Petfinder won't let you post it. She obviously has GSD in her and as long as people are aware of that, that's all I care about. I put her as a GSD/Collie because that's what I see most in the pic. I haven't met her in person but I do know she's 75 lbs and 26 inches at the shoulder.

People will either fall in love with her or not and if they're looking at pets in Petfinder they have to realize alot of it is a guess, especially the pound dogs!

Jen,

I really meant it really doesn't matter to the people who are
attracted to the look of the dog & go visit him/her in person.
A shelter or Humane Society will ALWAYS give a mix breed dog
their best guess on heritage.And as NWS_Haven says, Pet Finder
does need to list a breed, whether pure or mixed. People who
adopt are ALWAYS given a best guess when the breed combo
is not known for sure.

afghan/shep mix looks close to about the same thing as yer pic.

[mugsy]

How about Anatolian Shepard?

[mugsy]

[lizbud]

I think we should create a new breed called "love bug" and all mixed breeds will be referred to as that

[Christiansmommy]

I was gonna say GSD/Afgan or GSD/Saluki...but i think the Saluki is in the same family as the Afgan...
