What Breed Is My Dog?

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback! I'm so happy to know that he's not too small to be full German Shepherd. He's big enough for me! ;)

Many of you said that Kody is a beautiful dog and I would have to agree. When I saw him at the shelter, I knew I had to take him home that day. We had planned to look at the dogs and then get everything set up at home and then go back for the dog the next day. When I saw Kody (and the poor condition of the shelter), I said we had to get him that minute. That was one of the best decisions of my life.

Kody is the most intelligent dog I have ever known and he quickly became my constant companion. We have trained Kody to be my Service Dog, so he is a working dog too! He absolutely loves his job, and his new home and family. I absolutely love Kody! =)

Here's a quick pic of him cuddled up with a down comforter (his favorite spot to nap!)

He looks a lot like ThriftyFun's Maggie. We were told she was a Chow mix. Her tail does go back up over her back, she's about 50-55 pounds, deep chested, face a lot like a shepherd but does have Chow features, too (Black spots on her tongue, a bit stand offish to outsiders.) Some people have suggested GS or Akita mixed with chow.

He is certainly German Shep and if he sheds tons, I would bet he's got husky in him also. I have a husky and she sheds tons. I got a furminator and I comb her with it every day. It gets a lot of her loose hair off. I also get her hair cut in the summer.

Huskys don't bark, but shepherds do, so that should be interesting.

Definitely a shepherd! What a beautiful dog!

I just wanted to say don't waste your money on the DNA test, some of those companies are junk, they just randomly list a bunch of different dog breeds.

Ok, thanks for the pic. You have a BEAUTIFUL dog! He looks like pure shepard to me and I agree, not all shepards are huge.

Bred, raised & showed German Shepherds for many years...and that looks like a very nice Shep to me.
60 lbs. is about right for his age. And he is in a classic 'show stance'. Nice-looking dog.

He looks very close to a German Shepherd to me. Not all shepherds are large.

Well, no pic so who knows...anyway, what does it really matter? If you love him and he loves you he could be half cow and he would still be just as loveable! =(^.^)=
