I just adopted this 4 month little girl a few days ago and was wondering what opinions I could get on her breed. I’m curious that’s all! My guess is maybe lab maybe Akita. The rescue said they thought chow because of the black dot on her and her sisters tongues but any breed could have spots on their tongues. Also if you didn’t see she also has a tiny white dot on her nose and a few white hairs on her chest and belly. Her sister has more white on her chest however the markings aren’t solid spots/splotches. Her sister also has more black spots on her tongue.

I would guess Lab/GSD mix.

I would guess Lab/GSD mix.

I have the same guess. Her posture says lab

Her face with ears back looks lab. And colour. She's adorable!

Your dog looks like a pure German Shepherd. They do come in black.... and many good working line German Shepherds have a black spot on their tongue. Rescues do not know the parents of dogs and often call them a Mix when they are not a mix at all. I think your dog is 100% German Shepherd.. no mix at all.

I could see German Shepherd for sure, maybe mixed with lab or something else, but pure definitely sounds possible as well. What's her height at the shoulders and weight? A full-body picture, taken from the side while she's standing, can also help.

Of course, there's no way to be 100% sure! There's DNA tests out there that will get you a little closer, with Embark generally being considered the best and Wisdom Panel a close second, but they're not perfect and can only check about three generations back (not to mention the cost - you can get kits on sale every so often but it's still pricey).
