Mixes are so hard to tell, one mixing of the same mix of dogs(say basenji/fox terrier) can give you different looking dogs to another litter mix of the same type of dogs, sometimes characteristics of one dog comes out more than the other. At the dog park people have the same mix but they look quite different, then if one dog is a mix itself it gets even harder. I just think mixes are so interesting and think it would be interesting to find out through the DNA test they have. I suppose in some cases it leads to better understanding of your dog and it's needs. She is a nice looking dog and special whatever she is. I have yet to get a yodel just for me, even the cats have gotten one so you are lucky if she gives them freely.
New Puppy, Lucy, Basenji?

We adopted this puppy last week and I'm not really sure what she is! We've been told shepherd, lab, akitu, basenji, etc.
I just wanted to know what you all thought.
Hey everybody I have been wanting a German Shepherd for a long time and I finally got to adopt what we think is a sheperd mix. Anybody want to verify that? How much shepherd do you think is in her?
It's very hard to get pictures of her - she's a fast puppy! She's three months old.
She loves to chew on my socks.Here's a video of Lucy:

I'm positive that she is cute! The ears look like they could be Basenji to me.
-
^ Thank you!
-
I think she is very cute, but I don't really seen any basenji in her.
-
she is a cutie, but I think Shepard x Akita could be a good idea…
Regards,

She is absolutely adorable. Love her wrinkled forehead! I'm going with German Shepherd. Does she bark?
-
Very cute…
-
IMO not much basenji if any. But cute nevertheless!
-
She's beautiful! That first pic, especially the ears, looks just like a German Shepherd puppy to me. I think she's a shepherd mix. I don't see any Basenji there though.
-
I would think Sheherd and Akita, Or Shepherd and Lab. What a sweet little face.
-
What a cute face! She looks like a little wulf!
-
Thanks everybody! Yes, she does bark, but not frequently.
-
What a cutie!! Very much a German Shep., IMO. Those huge, stand up on their own ears leave something to consider…........
Thank you for adopting a puppy in need of a forever home!!
-
She is a cutie pie….looks mostly shep to me. Would you like to do one of those DNA test to be sure?
-
Not really (aren't they a bit expensive?), I'll love her the same either way.
-
I know she's not a Basenji, but I thought you all might want to see a few more pictures of Lucy:
She's gained about 3 pounds since we got her!
The flash makes her seem alot whiter than she actually is.
Something's caught her attention…
Don't get too close to the camera! -
She is very cute… and I am sure she will bring lots of fun and joy!
-
Here is a pic of a dark and light colored shepherd pup. I don't know an awful lot about akitas but I could see GS-Akita mix. I also see a b shape to the face and ears. A lot more slender than the GS pupies usually are.
But overall ADORABLE!
-
She's adorable! Very cute!
