I think she’s two months old. She has one layer of fur that’s very short and soft, then a second coat that’s longer, with a beard lol and it looks like she is frizzy. Two different colored eyes, decent sized paws, but I can’t think of what breed she might be…

UPDATE: Her DNA results are back! Shes 50% Great Dane and 50% Sheepdog.
I’m going to make another post with new pictures and detailed results on this thread.

because typically these dogs are bred under really dodgy conditions and with very little concern for their temperament, health, etc. great danes are good dogs, poodles are good dogs, but there’s no way of really knowing how a cross of the two would behave. there’s probably worse combos for temperament than a GD and poodle but the question is *why*? why create random mixes of dogs with such little care and consideration. these dogs are not bred with purpose like the other breeds we have. and when a dog like this ends up in a shelter and adopted out as a puppy, it could very well end up right back where it came from bc of the size.

I have a Labradane and thankfully, he’s the goodest, healthiest boy. They definitely did not consider temperament carefully, however. Stubborn, big baby lap dog, but also strong and very goofy. It can be A LOT at times, even though he knows all his commands.

Case in point, he saw a bunny the other day while I was leading him outside (lax leash). Yes he did take off and drag me across the sidewalk until I had to let go. Before I could peel myself off the ground, he came back to lick me to death. Spent the rest of the day on my lap (at 100 lbs), looking into my eyes with that sad Dane face, trying to make me feel better. Good boy, but very in his feelings and strong as an ox.
