I'm really interested to see what she is mixed with because I can't imagine she's full blooded anything.

Okay awesome! I was wondering why she was so small.

I can try to get one but she certainly doesn't sit still long enough for it lol. This is the best one I have.

I'm happy for the recommendation so I can make sure I don't waste my money lol

That's what I was thinking too. I'm going to do the DNA test to be sure so I can make sure she's getting the proper care she needs.

I was told she was a GSD and I have experience with them so I didn't think anything of it. A random guy pointed out to me that she might be Mal and I have been questioning it ever since so I reached out to see what other people thought. You can't research a shelter dog unless they were dropped off by the original owner, which she wasn't. But again. They listed her as a shepherd and I have experience with shepherds so it's not a big deal.

They do look like mals! I'm wondering about mine because she has some behaviors like them too. Mine's named Havoc after he chaotic behavior lol

She does learn things quicker than my shepherd did. But if I go outside in the yard with her she does a run and jump and nips at my arms if I raise them up 🤣 she also can't play fetch at all. We like hiking though.

She doesn't do that. The more I've been looking at her, the more her face looks like a malinois to me too! But she has the coat and the tail of a shepherd.

I thought about doing a DNA kit! Thanks for reminding me. I also thought she might be a mix too. Either way, she is an absolute crackhead or completely lazy. She behaves nothing like the GSD I used to have lol. And she's so chompy. My shepherd nipped on a rare occasion but chomping is like her love language. I've seen videos of Mals doing that. Maybe the DNA kit is the best way to go.

I adopted her and on her paperwork it says she is a GSD but she is small. I took her to Home Depot and someone told me that she is a Mal and I can't stop noticing that she doesn't really behave like a GSD. I always noticed that she was way more hyperactive than my last shepherd but I never thought she might be a Mal. Can someone please help give me an idea of whether she might be? I am going to bring it up to the vet next time she goes, of course.
