What Breed is My Dog?

What breed is my dog? Our guess was shepherd mix, but we're wondering what else might be in the mix. Any ideas? He weighed 45-50lbs as an adult, and as you can see he was a very lanky boy.

Hello, I know it's been a couple of years, but my dog just recently passed away from cancer, and she looked just like yours except she was a tad overweight. Did you ever find the breed or mix? My best guess is a shepherd/whippet mix or a Formosan mountain dog.

Maybe there is some whippet or other sighthound in there? That would make him lanky and have those ears.

I would *love* to get that DNA test done. Unfortunately my dog passed away this year before I had a chance. I'm hoping to get a very similar dog since his temperament was awesome, very goofy, affectionate and snuggly, and he was the perfect size (I think a full GSD might be a little too big for me).

He for sure has Shepard in him! My dog is simular to yours except she is all blonde. There is a dog that looks just like her at the local dog park that had a DNA test done on him. He was 3/4 shepard 1/4 POODLE! That was very surprising to everyone. I told my family and they just laughed. But you never know!
