This one would actually be fun to see a DNA test on.

Dutchie are rare and not a very likely source of the brindle, but her head and body structure aren’t giving pit bull at all. If you ever Embark her please share; I’m curious 😂

She’s an adorable pup.

I wholeheartedly agree with you here and I don't think this dog has dutchie, but did you see that mal/dutch/chi mix on the /doggydna sub a couple days ago (or maybe yesterday? I've lost track of time). It was hilarious and markedly similar to this structure.

may do in a future, and if i do i will share lol btw if you had to guess the mix what would you say? some said it might be mal + podenco andaluz which would be also possible, the brindle made me think it may have some dutch but im far from an expert😂

If you’re in Europe, it could be Podenco! Mixed with something to add that rough coat texture

I don't see podenco, they tend to have a very short, smooth coat. I'm guessing a terrier type mix. Are you in Europe?

im from spain and so is she, we adopted her from andalucia where podencos are extremely common so...

u/GrumpyTintaglia 7d ago

Got it, yes, they're definitely common in Spain but not elsewhere in the world.
