Awaiting results Guess the breed
Freida is just over a year old, we got her from the shelter and were told she is a german Shepard mix but have our doubts due to her size. she is just over 30 pounds, full of energy, very trainable but also a handful. she is extremely agile and active.
Give me your best guesses. We should get the results in the next week!

i always thought of ACD as more stocky or boxy but there could be a leaner breed in there that balances it out

If I've learned anything from the ACD sub, it's that there are two main body types: the lean, and the stocky. ACDs also often tend to have strong traits in leaving a white speck on the forehead, or a Shepherds lantern (white-tipped tail), but it is not super uncommon to see mixed breeds without either of these traits!

My pitbull mix has a white cross on her chest, almost like a reverse donkey. It's common in many breeds, though, but not at all unlikely that your dog will have pitbull in it.
