We adopted Zoe at 15 months from our local shelter. She was surrendered by a scurrilous dog fighting "trainer" because she was not mean enough. She is highly intelligent, energetic, playful and a drama queen, in addition to being very protective of me (a bit of a problem but we're working on it...).

Thank you for your assistance!

Sorry, don't hate the newbie, forgot to mention Zoe was 59 lbs. when we adopted her and topped out at 72 lbs.

Hi there. Well Zoe is a cutie. It probably is not likely that she has DS. I see boxer in that face. Might explain the white foot too. So something like a boxer mix... but check out the thread on other breeds that have the brindle gene. Her size and the look of her face says something else besides DS.

Never the less, she is cute as all heck and looks like a fun girl.

Thank you Karin!

My first reaction was that I saw Dane in the face, muzzle, and ears in the last photo. Could be some Plotthound in there, though.

Dane and Boxer struck me too.

I see Dane in her face. Those ears are something else though. It's crazy the way dogs can look when you mix a few breeds.

Thank you!
