Rescue Puppy
Hi everybody! I'm new to this forum. I adopted a puppy, Epona, and I'm bringing her home in a few days! I'm so excited and I'm in love with her already! I'm sure she's a mix, but she seems to have some DS features also. What do y'all think? I have no idea about her age, but she has all baby teeth and no molars yet. I understand that there's no way of telling what she is exactly, but I'm curious about what other DS owners think. I love her no matter what she is though! She's a sweetie and right now she loves to chew on everything including my hair!
Here are some pictures I took of her at the foster.

Re: Rescue Puppy
Here's another picture of her standing. She's around 15lbs. I'll have to weigh her again!

Re: Rescue Puppy
She is super cute. What ever the other breed(s) she has in her, I would say would be a smaller dog. Her legs are short for a taller breed. SHe has the big ears of the DS though
I do love the white on her paws.

Re: Rescue Puppy
Thanks Dutchringgirl! Epona does look smaller to me too! I'm guessing she's a mix of some kind of shepherd and some smaller breeds. I'm looking forward to see what she will look like as she grows

Re: Rescue Puppy
In that last photo, she looks leggier.
No matter what she is or isn't, she's very cute. Glad she found a home.

Though I can only hope to become the person who my animals believe I am, the things that they have taught me have made me a better human being. ~~~Sharon~~~

- Tell us about yourself: I am a husband and father of 3, one bouncing boy and two fur-babies (one Dutch Shepherd/Malinois Mix and one Alaskan Malamute). I am military and have experience training and working with detection and protection canines although I am not a working dog handler. My Dutch is just over 2 years old. I have spent countless hours training our dogs and enjoy the work. Both have strong drive and motivation towards training but enjoy being rambunctious when I am away.
Re: Rescue Puppy
Looks like a DS mix to me, even with the white. When mine was a pup he looked disproportioned at times but he grew into things like his ears, legs and paws.
