Can anyone tell what’s in this other than lab. She is 13 weeks old.

I would bet she's got a little Pit in her

Well it’s not happening now just got a email from the shelter she has been adopted sadly.

Awww

Yeah I don’t understand why we can’t bring her home and spay her when she’s around 9 months old.

they probably want no chance of accidentally litters or people breeding from the dogs

Unfortunately there are unethical rescues/shelters just like breeders


I would still advise waiting until 2 years old

He at least looks like a mix of those breeds I am still in shock from the half malamute

Gets people everytime

Yup

I was going to ask the same, but I have no SD knowledge whatsoever. Especially since she'd be a working dog...

The wash out rate for purebreds of the best breeds bred for AD work all ready have a 50% wash out rate, sometimes higher! Rescue dogs have a much higher rate, which is why its not recommended unless you are a big charity training them

When we adopted my other dog, Henry, we were told he was "half purebred Middle Eastern Hound with papers and half Golden Retriever".... excuse me, that's not even a breed!

Husband I guessed he had some Pit in him.

Ended up almost a quarter each of the following:
American Pit Bull Terrier
German Shepherd
Chihuahua
Australian Cattle Dog

Yeah we would love to get a purebred from a reputable breeder but we just can’t afford it the only reason we were going to be able to afford her is right now all adoption fees are waived.

Highly recommend the Embark test! It's fun to see the results

I don't trust genetic testing. I've seen too many that were completely wrong.

I have Twiggy my absolutely awful washed out AD. Now that I have more experience and knowledge I know she was terrible in all most every way! Even if she wasn’t reactive and didn’t have hip issues she would never have been as helpful as Fanta! her personality and temperament is really not right for AD work
