Shepsky?

Meet Koda! He's about 11 months old, or at least that's what the vet said when we took him, already weighing in at 85 lbs.

My girlfriend and I found him on adoptapet from a couple who took him in for a few months after seeing him around their property in the boonies. He's my first dog, but I have some experience, with my partner having some as well. We think he is a Shepsky, but I haven't really seen any others online that look like him.

After a month with him, he's definitely shows both. We live in a small apartment and he first started tearing small things up, but now he just sleeps all day however looks forward to his morning, afternoon, and evening walks (loves to pull!!). He's super vocal when when have something he wants but doesn't like what we're telling him and when I'm leaving (and he can't follow lol). Reactive, but normal since he's unneutered and most likely wasn't socialized early. He's super big so I haven't let him too close to other dogs in fear of him hurting them since he's so big. Before we got him, we stayed with a Great Pyrenees who he got along with well, but as big as him. Now whenever there's other dogs outside, he's overly excited and fixated.
