I rescued this puppy and have no idea what type of dog he is. Any help would be great.

My guess would be a Shepard mix. He sure is a cutie!

Thank you very much. I figured he had shepherd in him because of the coloration but I was interested in seeing what else to expect out of him. He's a great dog though

I second the German shepard mix and the fact he is soooooo cute! When they are so young it is hard to guess the other breeds that might be involved but the shepard does stand out.

I agree. I guess I could throw this question in there too. the vet said he could not be more than 5-7 weeks old. Judging from his current size at this age what can i expect for his mature size. I'm hoping for a big dog and don't know much about the differences in puppy sizes. I have a purebred husky that was about this size whilst a puppy. Should I be expecting a large pup?

Shepard for sure, not sure about what else. He's a cutie. If he's that young, I would guess he'll be a good size, 60+ lbs, when older.

Vet said no older than 5-7 weeks. I'm thinking he might be on the younger side. He loves warm milk and doesn't seem to be able to see at his full potential. Eyes are a little blue and glazed and when I get more than 15-20 feet away he looks at me weird as if he doesn't recognize me.

your question is the same question I possed to my vet when we ended up with our new puppy. I worded it a bit differently. "Ok, what do you think she is until she goes up to prove us wrong" and well... she proved us all wrong. Should have places bets on the outcome. WE were hoping a Chow Spitz mix but I think we are ending up with a Terrier mix, possible Spitz.

I'm going with California brown bear with black mixed in, kidding he's cute!

I'm almost inclined to go Rott/Akita mix with the current shape of the head and muzzle.
