    Do you think she might have some Malinois?

    I just adopted this little girl from the pound (she was going to be put to sleep :( ) She is only 6 months and they listed her as a German Shep mix, but her face is narrower then German (could be what ever else she is mixed with) but when I posted her picture on facebook people commented that she could be Malinois. I don't care either way she is beautiful and sweet, but I have always wanted a Mal....so wouldn't that be cool :)

    She is beautiful and yes, I can see Malinois in her far more than GSD although I am far from an expert.

    I just cannot believe that a pound would euthanise a six-month-old puppy :009:

    Please give her hugs from me - oh, and welcome to Breedia from both Pereg and me!

    Malka,

    Thank you for your warm welcome.

    Yep she was due to be put down (her kennel mate was :( ), there are two "dog pounds" here in Phoenix and they euthanize about 20-30 dogs a day, often very young (8 weeks) but there is a group that puts a list out of the dogs the night before so volunteers can network to try and save them. I had recently started following them and trying to help by sharing the information. I already have 2 dogs so I didn't really think I could have another one, or I wasn't brave enough to ask the hubby if I could. When I showed him Niki's picture he simply replied..."go get her"...what an amazing man!!!!!

    I meant to put this photo up - sorry - blame it on sleep deprivation - as to me she looks so much like a Malinois although as I say I am no expert. But she is gorgeous, whatever she is! :007:

    And I love that photo of her with your husband - definitely a special guy!

    Mal x GS is quite a popular mix so it's quite possible she does have Mal in her :)

    She does have a narrower Mal type face but 6 months might be too early to tell... does she have any other Mal type traits or characteristics?

    Thank goodness you were able to save her - so sad though about her kennel mate and all the others. Glad there's a network of volunteers doing their best to help.

    She is lovely - and I can certainly see the similarity to Malinois.

    Hope your other two dogs are happy with their new sister!

    I would say Mal mix.
    Looks way more Mal than shep, but seems a little off, so don't think pure.
