German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois??

Thumbnail

121 Upvotes

6 month old male GSD (we think). We adopted him 2 weeks ago from a GSD rescue after he was dumped in a rural town with Parvo and picked up by animal control. The rescue pulled him from the pound and got him through Parvo treatment, which is why he’s so skinny. The more we look at him, the more doubts we have on whether or not he’s full GSD or if he has some or a lot of Belgian Malinois in him. His face looks more Mal to me, but I’m not an expert. We got a DNA test for him and are waiting on it to get here so we can do it. Thoughts?? Does he look like a 6 month old GSD or could he be a Mal?

a few months ago i posted abt my soon to be puppy lookinh a bit funny. the backlash i got was a bit suprising. some comments actually were trying to be helpful which i still very much appreciate but most of them were very … accusatory? Which on one hand i understand, but when i tried to explain things some outright called me a liar. So! here she is 5 months later beautiful as ever. she just had an awkward puppy stage, but now shes one of the most beautiful dogs ive seen. she has absolutely zero health issues and her overbite has actually fixed itself (which i said it might). Thank you reddit, for scaring the shit out of me. Im glad i didn’t listen to you. (SARCASM ALERT)

Rescue So, we rescued a horse.

Meet our newest pet horse, Ruckus. We adopted him from a rescue over the weekend.

They did have some background information on him and all his health has checked out (though we have a vet appt coming up to verify everything and check on anything else) so we have been told that he is between 6-9 months old. I can barely lift him, over 65lbs, easily. We also have been told that his parents are a German Shepherd and a Saint Bernard (eventually we will get his DNA tested just to see) and every single person I see tell’s me look at his paws. He’s going to be huge.

We wanted a bigger dog. So we are ready.
Based on these pics, what do you see?

He is such a smart boy. He also is lazy in the mornings. Doesn’t pull with the leash. Has picked up on tricks incredibly quick. I’m amazed. And he wants to love every single person in the universe.

So, tell me what you think of our “little” guy? We are beyond happy with this whole rescue process and even though he has his crazy puppy moments where he lives up to the name we have him, he is just so good. My heart is full.

My girl Kaya got out last month and thanks to the help of amazing people in my community and an amazing individual who called and reported a sighting we were able to get her home.

Shoutout to Toby the elderly chihuahua for helping out as she would have never approached us if he wasn’t there.

She stays double leashed on walks going forward 😂

Love this girl so much.

"Baby" dog has an ear infection (I think?) And is trying to burrow her way inside of me to be closer. This is a huge difference from her when we adopted a year ago- she did not enjoy snuggles for any reason. I had no idea a dog would seek comfort like this with a person and I'm enjoying it even if I feel horrible that she feels horrible.

Vet visit in an hour, the real test for illness is if she starts a fight in the vet's lobby.

Advice How do you turn your dog off?

Is it only me that feels like there dog is a crackhead addicted to balls? If he’s not sleeping he’s trying to get me to play any game that has balls in it. Fetch which requires 2-3 balls or else I’ll just throw the ball once and then it becomes keep away. Even after 15-20 mins of constant non stop fetching he’s locked on to balls even when I can see him getting slower and more tired he can only see balls, ball is life. Even if by the grace of god he lays down he’s either chewing his ball or keeps in front of him and stares at it. After a 10 minute rest he brings it to me and is ready to go again. We live on a farm so actually playing is not an issue but that much running can’t be healthy for his joints. I also have 2 other dogs (gr x husky siblings) who he also plays with but they are never able to keep up, he’s on a whole different level. He’s adopted so I can never be sure if he has working line genetics and he definitely doesn’t look like it but I’d say his intensity is probably comparable to Belgian Malinois ( I don’t have experience with Belgian malinois but I know for a fact that that’s above average intensity for a gsd)
He’s 15 months old
