hi there, almost 3 months ago i adopted a puppy named Luna she's now about 6 months old and i'm curious what kind of mix she can be, any idea?

[Yogi]

The head, ears, snout and feet indicate GSD. As for the coloring, I would say this was a GSD/Dalmation cross.

She does have the same sort of bearing as a GSD but I would have thought border collie rather than dalmatian.

How big is she? We could be barking up the wrong tree entirely!

You could be right about the BC. After looking at the last pic I see where it could possibly be BC instead of Dalmation. I was looking at the first pics which do not to me show BC much. Head shots can be deceiving when it comes to color patterns.

well she weights about 7,2 kg and height is 36 cm

Lol, and I get a dif. take too! I am thinking part Australian Cattle Dog because of the ears and face shape and like Yogi said the color of the face is throwing me off too. Also thinking part Dalmation because of coloring

I can def. see the border collie. What about possibly a little Belgian sheepdog? Only think that wouldn't fit is the black coloring. Prob. some dalmation too as far as the coloring goes as you guys suggested before but I'm not really too sure about that. Here's a pic of an adult border collie/dalmation mix from google images;

thanks a lot for help i thought she might have something from bc but wasn't really sure i'm also wondering about dalmatian mix and one more question: could someone help to estimate how big she will be?

It's very hard to tell even if you've seen both parents, let alone not having seen the parents. If she has border collie and dalmation...

BC: Height: 18 - 21 inches, Weight: 30 - 45 pounds

DM: 19-24 in, 35-50 pounds

If these are the mixes I'd say somewhere in that range. How much does she way now and how tall is she? You measure from the shoulder blades to the floor.

Was just looking up in my book on breeds for someone else in here to do with the Australian Cattle Dog and found this: A potent cocktail of blood runs in the veins of the Australian Cattle Dog: blue merle Collie, Dalmation, Old English Sheepdog, Australian Kelpie, the little-known Smithfield and the native Dingo. No wonder it made me think the Australian Cattle Dog as well as the Dalmation---as the Dalmation is in the blood of the ACD!! To me the ears do not look Border Collie--as the Border Collie has more hair on the ears--'shaggier.'

age:6 month weight:7,2kg height:36cm i don't think she is going to be much bigger rather a medium size or so but i don't really know much about it as for parents they're unknown someone abandoned her on a roadside in winter

Geez, I don't know about all the other responses, but I see Corgi. Depending on the height and size, of course, but don't you guys see Corgi in there??

Again, without seeing the parents it's very difficult to tell. I would guess she'll be a medium sized dog like you said. I'd be very surprised if she got over 50 pounds. Probably around 40 or so.
