Smile Answered: Please help indentify my puppy

Hello everyone,

I have a adorable cute puppy who my wife brought from a street vender at about 6 weeks of age. Her name is Pretty and she is now about 16-20 weeks old.
She has a very aggressive attitude but controllable at most times. She has these really big ears similar to a german shepherd. She has a thick fur like coat
gray and brown highlight in color. Her feet paws are white and she has a distinctive one black toe nail on each paw. Not sure what her breed is. Maybe someone can give me some clues and ideas but i'm leaning towards german shepherd and ??. Just some ideas would be appreciated. I've attached a better picture.

If you look at the forum rules it explains that it is not possible to identify possible breeds in a puppy. He will change a great deal before he reaches maturity - his coat, his build, his ear carriage - all could change out of recognition.

Aside from that to stand any chance of being able to identify him the photos need to be of good quality and need to show him from the side and face on.

Hmm those ears definitely remind me of a basenji. But it's true, she will change a lot so who knows! She's adorable though

Hello Pretty,

I understand what has been said about identifying puppies, it is very true. Unless the breed is obvious as in many cases, then whilst the little rascal looks fabulous in your picture, who knows what she will look like as an adult ? I love her.

Just make the most of her as a puppy, they grow up really fast and those precious puppy days are gone for ever before you know it.

On doing a bit of webbing, I reckon she is a "WOTSIT", but a gorgeous one.

I rescued a puppy once about 2 months old. Lovely puppy, but as she became a teenager she looked like a garbage cart dog. Thin tail, short, scruffy, unattractive coat - just a thing with four legs.

BUT later her coat grew long, coloured white and brown. She changed completely into a beautiful Collie/Alsatian cross. A real lovely dog to be proud of. She lived to around 15.1/2. Every single moment a treasured memory.
