Meet Sherlock. He’s about 1½ years old and weighs 70 pounds. This guy spent two hours bouncing all over the four-acre dog park, and still wanted to play once we got home.
We get asked all the time what he is. My wife sent off a DNA kit so maybe we’ll have an idea in a couple weeks. I’m pretty sure those ears pick up shortwave radio.
We adopted him in August. Here he is the day we took him home.
He’s really intelligent. He knows a lot of commands. Most of them he does right away, but he’s not always so eager to please. You just have to show him that no matter how stubborn he is, you’re even more stubborn. He gets there soon enough.

He’s a good boi! That’s what he is!
(Also those ears! I love ‘em.)
Those ears look like German Shepard. The rest of him hints at Pit Bull.
If that’s even remotely close to accurate, you’ve got a super intelligent good boy on your hands. And while intelligence can be good, it can also lead to a lot of trouble. 😅 make sure to keep him stimulated and tired. 🤣
That’s what I was going to say: German shepherd, Staffy, and maybe something else
Dog.
I know exactly what he is. He’s a good boy.
He’s a good boi playing a good boi disguised as another good boi!
What do you mean “you bois”?
What do YOU mean “you bois”?
Confirmed good boy.
When I was a kid my family had a boxer with very similar eyes. Maybe there’s some of that in there.
Looks like a dog.
He’s gorgeous! It’s always hard to guess breed mixes based on appearance alone, as physical appearance is determined by such a small percentage of DNA. It’s always fun to guess, though! I’ve worked in various animal industries for years, and we always start a poll when someone submits their dog for DNA testing. My guess for the predominant breeds is either Belgian Malinois or German Shepherd, then Staffordshire terrier.
Congratulations on finding such a fantastic dog, and I hope you update us once his results are in!
Looks to me like he’s awesome.
Thats a good boy. Looks like the best kind, a mutt.
He’s happy is what he is.
Belgian Shepherd - Staffordshire Terrier cross would be my guess.
Definitely some boxer, especially with that energy.
I’m guessing pit, German Shepard, boxer, and maybe a lil bit chow chow.
Btw got a link to that harness and seatbelt thing? Looks comf.
Here’s the seat tether
And here’s his harness
Any harness will do, really. We don’t even use the harness outside of the car. He does pretty well just being walked on his collar. He only ever pulls if he sees a squirrel. That’s one area where we’re working on training lol
I would be totally unsurprised to find out there’s some pit in there. He came from a shelter, and all the local shelters have tons of pits. His history before the shelter is a big question mark.
Sick thanks!
Yeah a lot of shelter dogs have some put in them including my dude (15 %)
