    Default Our new love

    Hello All,

    I would like to introduce Nala. We got her from the pound last month. The vet estimated her at about 3yrs. We are not sure of her breed so if anyone has any ideas the input would be greatly appreciated. We have been told she could be anything from a Basenji mix to an American Dingo/Shepherd mix. She is very well behaved.
    If I do this correctly below are a few pics of her

    Regards,

    Jon

    She is beautiful!

    Don't Rottweilers have the extra skin on the neck like hers?

    Oh, I love guessing what mixed breed dogs may be a mix of! My guess would be a Korean Jindo JindoKobeJindoAge5.JPG, maybe mixed with Siberian Husky...

    I didn't notice that until you mentioned it - she can be a helicopter or an airplane!

    Welcome!

    I see ACD/Basenji.... or she could be ACD/pug.... how big is she?
    I do not see any sibe in there though. Something about the side view body structure looks doberman to me. Dobe's with natural tails often have curled tails.... couple that with shorter tail genes from something like ACD or Basenji.... I could see it.

    Looks most like two confirmed hybrids I met a couple years back though. One was Aussie/wolf and one was GSD/wolf. Same color, build, and face. Different tail though, they had sheperdy husky tails and not that petite little curl.
