What breed is my dog? He has thick fur, a husky tail, and floppy ears.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 5 years and 6 months old | 30 lbs

At first I thought he was a German Shepherd but it's been two years now and his ears haven't went up yet. His tail looks like it could be from a husky and he has A LOT of fur. I thought it was a thick coat because of the winter but it is summer now and his fur is still really thick. Do you think you guys could tell the breeds in him from these photos?

Boxen is so cute! I don't see any German Shepherd in him in the pictures. He has that feathering on his back legs like you would see with a Golden Retriever, but it looks like a Lab face. I can't say for certain what his breeds are, but he is adorable!
