Breed Guess: Shepherd mix

What We Know: Sweet Whisky is just the most precious puppy who is so confused as to why she’s in the shelter. She’s beyond precious and well-mannered. She keeps herself quietly occupied in her kennel all day, just playing with her toys or napping on her bed, until it’s time to go outside and play. We’re stunned at what a well-behaved, mellow puppy she is. Whispy temperament tested well with people and other dogs! She is learning to walk nicely on leash, is in off-leash playgroups with other pups, and is doing a good job of going potty outside. While it’s difficult to guess her breed, we do think she’ll grow up to be a mid-sized adult. She will be an outstanding family pet!

What We’re Unsure About: We can’t guarantee breeds or ages, but we do our very best to guesstimate. In the shelter environment, we never know if a dog is housebroken or not, but we work on getting every dog to potty outside during their time with us. It’s important to anticipate needing to do all basic training. 

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic.
