Dutch Shepherd. I have one. Not what I would have pictured from your description, but I have been asked what my shepherd is mixed with, or if she’s a pit mix, so I guess your description isn’t that far off. ---

FYI - the colour is called Brindle - a mix of black and brown forming stripes. ---

Thats not the dog. Sorry. I swear its got like a fighters spirit, as a pit bull or rotweiller. But a sleek design like a shepard. ---

Maybe something like the one on the left, not exact, but similar. [http://spiritscraps.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/snow-dogs-2010.jpg](http://spiritscraps.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/snow-dogs-2010.jpg) ---

The dog in the picture is without question, a Dutch Shepherd. Perhaps you are thinking of the Belgian Shepherd - Malinois… similar breed, but a fawn colour coat with a black mask. ---

The second picture? Or the first?| It doesnt have a shaggy coat, it has a slim slim trim, like a pitbull. ---

The first picture is a Dutchie, the second looks like a mixed breed, but closer to a Malinois. My dogs - the darker, brindle dog is a DS, the light colour dog is a Malinois [http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p252/lesliec8/Team%20MalaDee/rampt.jpg](http://s130.photobucket.com/user/lesliec8/media/Team%20MalaDee/rampt.jpg.html) ---

I think I am posting while you are typing, so one post behind you, lol. The picture of the dog on the bed looks like a mix breed to me, and if I had to guess, would say pitbull x shepherd. Is the dog you are thinking of a Malinois? ---

its probably just some pitbull/shepard mix. I think it has shorter stock ears and a compact face, but designed more like a shepard. ---

Wow, funny that this thread came up because I’ve been trying to pinpoint one of the breeds in [my](http://i.imgur.com/j2R4cZQ.jpg) [new](http://i.imgur.com/U2tgAws.jpg) [pup](http://i.imgur.com/uh1KCXd.jpg) and Malinois is one that sort of fits and I haven’t seen before! Problem with Morgan is that she looks like a lot of big breeds (shepard, lab, ridgeback, chinook, cur) but she’s full grown at 44 lbs. Those dogs seem to bottom out at at least 60 lbs. Malinois gets closer at 55 lbs! I am someday going to get her a DNA test just for curiosity’s sake. ---

I think you’ve got an American Dingo… Oddly,when you mix all dog breeds,you get a yellow dog,short hair,ears either up or down,35 to 50ish lb [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-kind-of-dog/704108.md?page=2)
