minyvlz Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Foster puppy who came to me at 5/6 weeks of age and is now about 15 weeks old (almost 9kg). I was wondering if he looked like a black GSD or had any in him, and if not, what breeds can you see in him? I just googled black german shepherd and he looks like one. He was a very high energy pup who had no off switch - except when he was sleeping. This is just for my own curiosity. ETA: I'm interested in adopting him myself and would like to know what I'm in for Edited January 27, 2013 by minyvlz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Looks like a very rare Cuddlehound to me... Loving the last pic... how gorgeous is he? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He's just adorable. Lovely Pup is my guess. :) I notice he's got pointy feet... I love dogs with those hare-feet. Makes them fast & sure-footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevbrock Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He's certainly got GSD ears! Would he have some border collie or kelpie in him, you reckon? He looks like a sweetie. Best wishes to you both for a happy ever after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I was going to suggest Schipperke, until I saw the last photo, which look like GSD ears. Agree with the others, the pup is very cute. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakbelgian Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 very cute fellow. I almost thought Schipperke too until remembered what weight you said--9kg-- that would a slightly overweight Schipp in adulthood. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe001 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yep I say looks like GSD cross. GSD ears but nose too pointy and legs not right for a GSD. Mine was much more rolly polly than him. What about a Belgian Shepherd cross? They have pointier faces and tend to be a bit quicker than a GSD. I just searched some breeders sites and they are more similar but most photos I saw they are much more fluffy. But I have seen black adults that aren't as fluffy as the adults in the sites I happened to stumble across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He's certainly got GSD ears! Would he have some border collie or kelpie in him, you reckon? He looks like a sweetie. Best wishes to you both for a happy ever after! I can see some mix of GSD/BC/kelpie. He is adorable If you decide to keep him you could be in for a lot of dog :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minyvlz Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Yep, too big for a Schipperke I reckon, and the ears are huge for his face! I did think Belgian Shepherd after I posted and from googling black Belgian Shepherd it does look like him. Any difference with the ears between a GSD and a BSD? He has 6 toes on his hind feet and is actually pretty fluffy! Patch of white on his chest and on his paw tips. Pup has actually left for Germany but I am trying to see if I can get him back. Will be seeking more advice if I do get him because I have never had a working breed before. Would explain the 24/7 craziness but not how big of a sook/drama queen he is though :laugh: ETA: I am in Romania, so eastern Europe (millions of strays here in Bucharest). Not sure if they have Kelpie here? This pup was rescued with his sister, who was brown, had been abused and sadly didn't survive.

littlesev Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Gorgeous pup! Perhaps you may consider getting a DNA test? He looks like he could be a cross of several breeds, GSD included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Grand Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I noticed after I posted that you were o/s and wondered whether Kelpie or BC would be common :p His face does look Belgian-y (tho I'm certainly no expert), maybe GSD x Belgian (one of the varieties)??

Jed Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Kelpiex. Maybe kelpiex X german shepherdX but that is only a guess. He's a black Cuddlehund, as someone already said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 You have a very cute mongrel, Heinz 57 or Bitsa, as they say here in Australia. He could be a mix of 20 breeds & you will never know & could guess until the cows came home. As long as you have a loving friend for life it doesn't matter. Funny I was watching a TV programme about Romania this afternoon, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
