I recently adopted my puppy in November. She was a rescue originally from Puerto Rico and was advertised as a German Shephard mix. But I'm starting to doubt she has any Shepard in her. She is now 15 weeks old and a little over 20 lbs. She is a fawn color with a black nose, a short coat and a long tail that is usually held upright and slightly curled. She has webbed feet and ears that seem to be trying to stand up. She seems to have quite a bit of extra/loose skin, and some wrinkled up on her face (not a lot though). I really can't figure out what she is. I'm hoping you all might be able to give me some insight?

looks more like some kind of bullybreed has played a role in her story of origin.
there are several breeds that have fawn wa a colour and they often have a dark mask.
carne corse, Bullmastiff, mastiff, Dogo Canario just to name a few.
probably mixed with something lighter and slimmer, perhaps a herder mix.

Was she a street dog? They are normally dogs that very mixed so you don't get definable traits. Normally when dogs are left to their own breeding they end up like your dog. She's cute.

I was thinking part bull mastiff! A buddy also guessed Akita or Shar pei because her webbed feet. But I also think some kind of lab. Long legs and very slim lol

German shepherd/Boxer based off the above.

The ears are likely for boxer in his origin, Yellow is a recessive color so at least 2 dogs from his origin must contain a yellow gene, Black is a dominate color which is shown in your pups mask.

Other combos I could believe:

German Shepherd/Bull Mastiff
Black Mouth Cur/Boxer

Do you think a DNA test would be able to tell me exactly what she is? Or is it more and estimation of breeds? I'm not sure how the DNA test works.

DNA tests aren't always accurate.

If this is a street dog, I would say the DNA test would be a waste. It's possible your pup has some bully breed and maybe even sighthound in her. But the thing with street dogs is...they're not purebreds like we think of them. In many other countries and areas the dogs are just a feral, dingo-ish breed that develops naturally. When dogs are left to breed freely with small amounts of purebreds, they revert back to a standard "Dog" that's brown, medium sized, and with many features your dog has. So I think you can probably call your dog an "All Puerto Rican" dog! Or, you can call her a "Sato" which is the Spanish word for mutt.

Pit Bull mix or what trackie said is what I was going to say. If she is a PR street dog p, then she is a probably a mix of a lot of breeds, which creates this generic look. You can research some about street dogs and you will note many that look like her.
