German Shepard/Chow Mix w/ Webbed Paws
« on: March 11, 2006, 08:26:47 pm »
I adopted a 3-4 month old female German Shepard/Chow Mix. She has webbed paws. I have never seen a Shepard with webbed paws before. Do Chows have webbed paws?

No, they do not........... ..or at least they shouldn't have.  The only dogs I know of that have webbed paws are a few types of hunting breeds.  Is it possible she has something else in her?

Maybe a Newf or Lab??  Are you thinking Chow because of a black tongue?  How big is she?  If she's getting really large (30 to 40 pounds)and fuzzy, it could be Newf....but if she's more of a medium size, with a flatter coat, it could be Lab.

Tulsa is ShepardxChow and her paws are webbed too. She can outswim any dog that I've ever seen.
The inside of her mouth is almost all black also.
Don't know what other breed she is mixed with.
Saw a thread on here about American Tundra Shepards, and the likeness was uncanny.
She has an undercoat like a Husky/Malamute, but she loves the water.
They can be aloof, very territorial (protective), and can be really GOOFY!
I love my dog!
Here's some pics.
Most of you have seen them before.
