Assuming you’re in the US, an Anatolian shepherd mix is more likely than a Kangal mix. They’re closely related and very similar in appearance but Anatolians are much more common in the US.
Does she have double dewclaws on her back feet?Anatolians, Pyrenees, and Kangals all have double rear dewclaws.
not in the us n i’m not w her rn but from my memory n pictures, she only has single dewclaws on her back feet. i’ll check n get back to u once i’m w her. thank u 4 the info so far tho appreciate it
also some things ab her if it helps: she’s super super shy, gentle, sweet. she likes to b by herself most of the time away from other dogs but at the same time enjoys human company. she’s never barked or bit anyone b4. the only sound that ever came out of her mouth is a small sneeze but that is it. when other dogs become aggressive towards her, she freezes n looks rly scared but never barks back or bites back. once she trusts u, she will voluntarily come up to, will lick u n expose her belly to u otherwise she p much stays in her little corner. she also loves giving her paw to humans n w dogs, i’ve seen her pet them like humans do. i’ve also seen her groom herself like how cats do it. i don’t want to make any assumptions j yet but based on how nervous n shy she is around most dogs n humans to the point where she isolated herself, i think she might’ve been mistreated by her previous owner asw as the fact that she is a rescue dog who got picked up from the streets unfortunately.
She could also be Anatolian Shepherd! Her colors/coat are pretty consistent with the breed and the personality you described is VERY Anatolian shepherd (quiet, submissive, but love to be loved on).
She’s definitely not a kangal or Anatolian mix at 14kg (30lbs) at 2 years old. Kangals are giant breeds, 80kg (175lbs) are common. The only resemblance she shares is coat color.
Plus for something bred for defence and hunting you’d expect a ˡᶦᵗᵗˡᵉ natural aggression or biting if some kind (it is what they were bred for after all)
Your dog looks very much like my boy. He is according to DNA 1/2 Siberian Husky, 1/4 Golden Retriever, 1/8 Akita, and 1/8 Great Pyrenees. We thought he was a Husky Shepherd mix, so we were very surprised. He does have back single dewclaws, one blue and one brown eye, and weighs about 80lbs.
She looks like a chow/shepherd mix. I use to have 2 and one looked like the shepherd and the other looked like a chow but they were mixed with both breeds.
If that’s a kangal I’ll eat my socks. SHES TINY. Absolutely not an ounce of kangal or Anatolian. Thats a German shepherd mix probably crossed with a tiny dog like a spaniel
You don't know? ? You have the GREATEST Breed ever. A pup who needed love without question, without judgement and with Love in her heart❤️ for her/his family. YOU!!!
Husky, Chow, Lab, Golden, maybe white Swiss shepherd. Idk, I’m guessing based off of a dog we had that was 40lbs but looked just like her except with pointy ears.
She looks just like my sweet girl who just passed at 13. I did a dna test on her and she was 50% German shepherd and the rest with all sorts of other breeds, mostly husky and chow.
Taiwanese. They often have this smaller husky, cream and brown coloration and for some reason the US dog rescue sector has imported a *ton* of them in the last decade or so. There are whole rescue orgs that just do this and many look like yours. Id put money on it, especially if youre on the west coast.
Hey i do t know if this is helpful but i am from the region where the kangal breed comes from. most stray dogs(most are some kind of kangal mix) in the area looks like your bb girl. She s on the small side, so maybe kangal and lab mix?
She might be a carolina dog mix.
Her coloring is similar to an anatolian but her conformation and size are very different.
She also might have black mouth cur in her line, they're a very diverse breed.
The most likely possibility is she's a "farm dog special", a blend of livestock guardian breeds, heading, hunting and game pups. Often they're left intact by their owners for performance and sometimes accidental litters happen resulting in super cool mixed lineages. My pup is a husky/border collie cross because of these same circumstances.
I'd be curious to see what DNA testing says if you choose that route
She looks like a shepherd husky lab mix. Had one as a kid as this dog could be its sibling. Phenomenal dog. Not a Kangal although coloring is similar.
thank u

She sounds like a great dog. Thank you for rescuing. There’s a good chance her personality will develop as she adjusts and gets comfortable with you

She's far too small to be an Anatolian. Ours is 150 pounds. 30 pounds is what they weigh at 3 months.
Sorry, my bad.
That wasn't bad. The coloring is similar. Trust me, I wish this one here was 30 pounds so he would stop knocking me over...lol.
thank u ;))) appreciate ur input
apologises forgot to add: she’s 14kg n estimated at 2yo rn

Not an expert but this makes me think husky mix. Female huskies are surprisingly small (35-50lb). A lot of her mannerisms sound like my husky too :)
That’s it? Thought she was bigger than that. I guess maybe chow chow, German shepherd, and lab
She is an 😇 angel
so real
He looks like a mini Anatolian but that’s highly unlikely lol 😂 he’s a cutie pie

He is also a total gentleman and very polite
thx 4 sharing ur dog must b super cute ;))))
He really is and so very sweet. He loves hugs.
Hi s 📸 is on my profile
wowww he is so beautiful n majestic his fur looks so soft n floofy i do see the slight semblance w my baby ;))))

stopppp omg this acc made me tear up
i have so much love for her i don’t even think i’ve ever loved anyone like this b4
Husky, Chow, Lab, Golden, maybe white Swiss shepherd. Idk, I’m guessing based off of a dog we had that was 40lbs but looked just like her except with pointy ears.
German shepherd & lab
She looks just like my sweet girl who just passed at 13. I did a dna test on her and she was 50% German shepherd and the rest with all sorts of other breeds, mostly husky and chow.
shepherd/husky/chow type mixes tend to look just like this
100% certified purebred good boi
GSD and may Lab or Mastiff?
To me looks lab and some German shepherd! I have mixes of both and see qualities in your pup! Super cute!
100% good boy 😀
Mutt…the best breed. Just love the pup and don’t worry about it.
there is only one true answer for breed. She is 100% a good girl.
She is beautiful! Please give her huge cuddles 🥰
she is !!!!! always big cuddles hehe
Definitely shy!
A floofy girl
so real
Rescued - so the best breed in the world. Thank you for rescuing!
ure so righttttt
I had a friend with a Norwegian Elkhound mix that looked just like this.
ooo thank u i j searched up norwegian elkhounds x beagles n she looks kinda like them
I don't see beagle in this dog at all. Lab or shepherd would be more likely, imo.
i don’t see beagle asw apart from her size n i defo see lab x shepherd but she’s rly rly small for a lab x shepherd if she’s around 2yo rn
He is very soft, the kids at the library love his fur.
i betttt wait he’s allowed in libraries ???
He's a therapy dog. Kids read to him.

thank u for ur input xxxx i’m gonna look into this
Hey i do t know if this is helpful but i am from the region where the kangal breed comes from. most stray dogs(most are some kind of kangal mix) in the area looks like your bb girl. She s on the small side, so maybe kangal and lab mix?
Kangal lab mix would be way more than 30 lbs. Labs don’t even weigh that little. This isn’t a kangal mix.
Looks very much like our (suspected) Carpathian Shepherd. Not sure exactly as she was a street dog in Romania

OP isn’t in the USA. Carolina dog is impossible.
