I have rescued a shelter dog and would like to pin her traits to a couple of dog breeds. She is thin at 30 pounds, 14 inches at the shoulder, 27 inches tail to head, long bushy tail, long pointed nose, brown eyes, black medium coat with honey brown under belly, small white feet. Her back is arched and long. She is very cat like playing with her toys and food bowl with her feet. Strong hind quarters, climbs steep hills like a goat bounding upwards. Very agile, quick, strong, playful. She would love to chase birds, jump and catch them in the air. She has a spring to her chase.
Thanks for any help

Looks like it could have german shepard, black lab and doberman.
I don't know though.
My dog was black lab, keesh hound/huskie and she looked like that only longer fur.

I'd say definitely a shepherd mix. Mixed with what is anyone's guess. You could pay for a genetic test, which will help to pin down her mix. But here's something to consider... it won't really make a difference knowing what's gone into the mix. She'll have certain needs based on being a dog, and then have certain needs based upon her own personality. Breed traits are handy to know, but not necessarily useful. For example, labs generally like water, but not all labs do, and there's not necessarily something "wrong" with your lab if it doesn't.

German sherperd for sure, looks like a bit of collie too, but that's a guess. Either way, she's gorgeous. :)

I agree with the rest. There is some German Shepherd. It looks to me like she could possibly have a bit of Australian Shepherd also, because of her shorter coat, and body structure. What a sweetie whatever she is. :)

EDIT: I appologise. It was late, and somehow Australian Shepherd came to mind, and that is not what I meant. What I did mean was German Shepherd with maybe a bit of Catahoula Leopard dog. Even some Blue Heeler, or Collie. It's so hard to tell sometimes isn't it. Good luck in finding out! :)
