What breed do you think my dog, Bootsy is?

I always wanted to find out what breed my dog, Bootsy, is. My mom adopted her at a pet store, and she claimed that Bootsy's brothers and sisters look like German Shepherd, while she is more of mixed. My mom always guessed that she is half german shepherd and malamute, while I think she is half german shepherd and border collie. Please let me know what you guys think!

I think you are right! My hubby guessed German Shepherd/Border Collie mix before he even read what you wrote and so did I! If I hadnt know that Boosty's brothers and sisiters looked like German Shepherds, I was thinking Husky/Border Collie mix as Bootsy's body looks like a Husky to me. But Since the siblings had the coloring of a German Shepherd, I do not think there could be Husky in there. So, I agree on German Shepherd/Border Collie mix!

Very pretty dog you have too! Male or female? and how old?

Yeah, that's what I thought! Bootsy is a female, and she is now 4 years old.

Actually, my mom decided on that name. She was having hard time thinking of a name for her, so she noticed her "white boots" on her front legs. So from there she decided to call her Bootsy, haha. I normally call her Bootsie, though.

omg how cute!! That's exactly what I thought when I saw her picture-in fact unlike other mixed breeds-I seriously see nothing but border collie and german shepherd. WHAT a PERFECT mix!!


Gorgeous and omg are you going to have one smart dog on your hands!

BAH-I need more pictures-what a beautiful dog!
