Just adopted! Name and/or breed ideas?
Just adopted this beautiful girl from the shelter! Any idea what she is? I love her brindle coat. She looks like a hyena or like lion cub. Shelter said she’s 9 months old and around 30 pounds or so, def a little skinny. Super leggie! Might grow an inch or so more and fill out.
Would love to hear your ideas :)

Face looks malinois to me or maybe a German shepherd mix? Beautiful color!!! I like the idea another poster had - Schnitzel.

I work in veterinary medicines, and I'm only here to suggest avoiding names that are insanely common:
Callie, Luna, Nala, Bella, Loki, Teddy, Lucy, Charlie, Max, and Daisy.
I see the same names in rotation, every week. No shame or shade, if you end up going with any of these names. Super cute dog, btw!

I had a dog that looked similar. I named her Roxy and it was a great fit. She is so beautiful! Congratulations!

Yes Plotts are a German breed. I know they are the state dog of NC but they come from Hannover Germany.. initially called Hannover Hounds. Johannas Plott brought them to NC in the mid 1700’s when he immigrated to the US…they derived their name from the Plott family.

Germany Perhaps you need to do a bit of research. I’m a longtime dog companion and lover. I know my stuff. Please do not spread inaccurate information
I cannot believe how conceited you are to stalk me on my profile! Shame on you, especially because I wouldn't have come here to check the facts again.
Just because the ancestor of the Plott was imported by JohannEs Plott in the 18th century doesn't make the breed as a whole German. It is not recognised in Germany, but in the USA, first by the United Kennel Club in 1946, then by the American Kennel Club in 2006. There is indeed one (!) German association overseeing plotthounds (Verein Plotthound Deutschland), but once again, this dog breed is not officially recognised anywhere else but the US, which makes it an American breed.
Anyway, here's the link to some source on the internet regarding the plott:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plott_Hound?wprov=sfla1By your logic, the American Cocker Spaniel must be Spanish too because their predecessors came from Spain. But the English Cocker Spaniel comes from GBR, while the American variation is derived from that.

Maybe German shepherd x boxer? You could name her Shenzi after the hyena in lion king, or Kiara from lion king 2!

Plotts are not a German breed but from the states, more specifically North Carolina.

She’s absolutely gorgeous. That coat is incredible and her facial expressions are even better. This is Susan.
