The stray rescue place where we got Jade said she is a year-old Shar Pei/ German Shepherd mix. I see the Shar Pei but she is so petite I wonder about the shepherd or if there is something else. She is 43 pounds, I'm guessing she is about full grown since she is supposed to be about a year old. Her coat is coarse, only the top of her head is soft & silky. Her legs are skinny and long (what else would I think after José the basset, ANY dogs legs look skinny & long!).
She is very lean except she has the rolls around her neck & just one around her butt when she sits! One weird thing is that her toes are webbed. And... she walks on our wood floors like they're made of ice! If she gets all excited she does that cartoon thing like Scooby Doo... runs in place on the floor then takes off! When she is jumping around all excited she seems to bend her back rounded over but then her paws bat things around like a cat or a boxer.
I just heard about how you can send away a saliva swab from your dog & for like $65 they tell you what breed(s) your dog is! Kind of intriguing, but for now I will poll the panel here -- Any dog experts out there that want to take a stab at what she is?
I don't have a good picture of her long neck, maybe these two next pictures show it a little. When she extends it , it's so long and she has this little peanut head the same size as her neck!
