I was told that she's a husky labrador mix but she doesn't look like one? They wouldn't send pics of her parents either so i think they're lying. Any guess? I love her but i'm also really curious. She's very hyper but also very smart. (She's 6 months old if i were to believe them).

The brindle markings I see on her coat aren't found in purebred huskies or labradors. Malinois, pit bull, and various terriers can have brindle. The ears are too big for any of the spitz type breeds (husky, elkhound, akita, etc.) Malinois and German Shepherd do tend to have huge ears as puppies. The way the ears fly out sideways isn't typical of either husky or Malinois, but perhaps the addition of Labrador could change the angle. I think it would be very interesting to see the results of a genetic test.

Looking at her photos again, she doesn't seem very tall or heavily built. Is she around 40 cm and 13-14 kg? She'd have huge paws if she was going to get significantly bigger, so I think she's going to stay somewhat close to her current size. Most of the breeds mentioned before are taller and/or heavier than she will be. She reminds me a lot of the potcake and sato dogs that turn up in the shelters around where I live (typically imported from Puerto Rico and other localities in the Caribbean.) These sato and potcake dogs are usually various mixes of terrier and village dogs whose ancestors were never any breed at all. The ones I've known have been very smart and very alert with a somewhat suspicious temperament. Very good watchdogs without being aggressive. They put on a big noisy show while waiting for help to deal with the situation.

I'm not sure about her height or how long she is but i think she's a bit short? If that makes sense. As for her weight i'm 99% sure she's between 10-15 kg. Yes the temperament you've mentioned are pretty much her i suppose one got here to the philippines lol.
