Take a look at the pictures here. Any guesses what kind of dog this is (or what breeds might be in there)? He’s about 18 pounds and about a foot high at the shoulders and the head is large for the body size.
It is a German Shepherd/Fox cross. I had them growing up and they are great but they will eat your chickens if you leave the coop open.
Is this a puppy or full-grown dog? The head looks very German Shepherd-y to me, especially in profile. The rump and back legs are shaped very much like those of a Dachshund, from what can tell given the thick coat.
Edit: never mind. 
…Wow. True story?
I think he is whooshing you. No dog/fox hybrid has ever been confirmed.
Some sort of shepherdy little guy with a really cute face!
I’d guess he has some Corgi in him. His face isn’t quite right for a purebred Corgi, but the overall body shape and build is. A Corgi cross, perhaps?
He looks exactly like a dog my wife picked up off the highway once. We kept her for a few weeks until we could find her a home.
No idea what breed she was, though. We figured she was genetically mixed enough to be considered Basic Dog.
He looks just like a dog that used to live next door. She was a pound puppy, a Shepherd mix.
I agree the body type (long with short legs) and shape of the head look like a corgi, just less stocky. So it’s probably mixed with something a little more delicate, like a Pomeranian.
Here’s a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and a Pembroke.
By the way, just because something has the coat and coloring of a German Shepherd Dog doesn’t mean it has German Shepherd in it. There’s a lot of breeds with similar coats and colors to the GSD.
Thanks for the feedback… the pup is somewhere shy of a year old; probably about 10 months. He seems to be fully grown but looks mostly like he’s made of leftover parts. The head definitely looks shepherd-like, just smaller, and is too big for the body which looks like Corgi or Dachshund or something else long and low.
I think the best guess I’ve heard so far is a Corgi/Sheltie mix with probably several other things mixed in there but I’m open to other suggestions because nothing seems to be spot on.
He’s up for adoption and I’m fostering him until he finds a home which I hope will be soon. He’s a great little dog but has never had any discipline or training and is very timid around men and doesn’t like male dogs and has a LOT of energy.
That “LOT of energy” suggests there’s some terrier in there too.
Is he Firefox? 
I think the back end looks like a Shetland sheepdog, with the fluffy feathering on his haunches and the bushy tail, and the size is about right too. And he’s got a bit of a ruff, looking at his neck and chest. The face and coloring are saying German Shepherd.
The face is definitely shepherd. The body looks very corgi. I would imagine that there may be a heck of a lot more breeds mixed in, but that face is very much that of a shepherd. He has a very intelligent face – I’d bet he could be trained easily with the right person. Sherpherds also have a lot of energy as pups and in my experience can easily be considered pups until about…oh, I donno, age 12?
I know, hence the inquiry 
I think it’s more Shetland sheepdog than Corgi, because your’s isn’t stubby legged.
Shetland Sheepdog/Terrier is sounding plausible. He is very smart and very alpha so he’s a handful. He’d be good at agility if he didn’t get distracted by anything and everything around him.
He REALLY wants to play with the cats and the cats REALLY want him to just go away so it’s been a busy couple of weeks. He’s got a couple of prospective homes lined up and we’re just looking for somebody experienced with dogs who can keep him in line. With a strong owner he’s going to be a great dog.
I don’t know, though. Especially in the second and third pictures, I’m seeing some degree of resemblance to the dwarfism of Corgi or Dachshund legs. Extreme characteristics tend to show up in a less exaggerated way in mixed-breed offspring; for example, the puggle, which is a mix between a pug and a beagle, displays a shorter snout, but by no means as flat as a pug.
The high level of energy would also fit in with a Corgi; it was originally a cattle dog, after all.
We had a stray dog that followed my bicycling mom and my siblings home from an area without homes, through the entire city and to our house. The best I ever come up with for breeding is likely a Shetland and some other type mix. Her one batch of puppies were like her and anybody that was looking for a dog, left with one.
auRa it’s my opinion, and we are speculating. Nothing matches her as a pure breed anything.
