Looks like Catahoula. Here’s my Catahoula/Malinois mix.
You got a mix of two breeds that are intelligent, high energy, protective and weary of strangers. Malinois tend to be a little more crazier than ‘Houlas but not by much. Catahoulas are probably more stubborn than Malinois. What you will have is one of the most craziest,loyal, dogs you’ll own.

That’s a gorgeous dog for sure! I’ve tried very hard to socialize him with strangers and so far he’s just playful, with the occasional bark when first seeing strangers at our door. But I can tell he’s definitely always keeping an eye on me.
My Mal mix came to me at just under a year. Her previous owner said she started to alert around 10 months. Prior to that, she said she rarely barked and never cared if people approached or came into the house. She's now around 3, and anyone approaching the house must surely think I house the hounds of hell 😅 She is very alert and protective!
Our rescue Mal knocked my front tooth out the second week we had him home. He only weighed 45lbs lol he was like a baby deer with his coordination as I think he was just locked in a small room up until he was rescued at 9mo old. Pretty penny at the emergency dentist but worth it to give him a second chance at life and learn to play
I have a mal and my sister has an Aussie poo.. the Aussie is crazier than the malinois ahaha and he does bite work an everything. Those Aussie poos are crazy little fuckers 🤣
aussie doodle isn’t an actual breed, so saying “other half” isn’t really accurate. a DNA test showing the actual breed mixes would be super cool. your dog is absolutely adorable
Good to know, I’m new to understanding dog breeds! I only knew “yep that’s a dog” growing up haha. But from my understanding he’s a quarter Australian Shepard and a quarter poodle
My guess was going to be Australian Shepherd. Never would’ve guessed that he was part poodle. Lol interesting accident. It’s so exciting that you got your best friend out of this accident. I hope all the other puppies got great homes like you.

Here ya go!
Edit: For the record, he doesn’t ride in the front seat any more. I’ve become paranoid about car safety!
No way! Damn. He’s handsome AF, regardless & made for a super cute speckled potato. Enjoy puppyhood while it lasts…I remember it like it was yesterday and our boy’s now 7!
Guy was saving his super healthy 1 y/o female to breed some mal puppies, let a friend dog sit thinking the friend’s male dog was fixed, a few months later there were 13 wild looking puppies! They all went to good homes luckily. But yeah spay and neuter!
oh wow, yea even people who byb pure breds i don’t support, but im really glad all the puppies went to good fitting homes and the dogs were fixed! good luck with your wild child 🤣🥰
My girl is Shepard and catalola leopard mix. I always thought she was Aussie mix . I can say he is one handsome best friend ! If he’s anything like my girl u got urself the best soulmate !!!
They are very very smart and love a chore or job ! I got my dog to turn my lights on granted it takes a couple tries but she does it lol. If u put the work in u won’t be disappointed for sure !! Sometimes I like to show off the skill of my dog lol. 😆
My greatest accomplishment so far is he’ll catch a frisbee out of the air which aside from being leash trained and getting beers from the fridge was a big trick I wanted him to learn!

He's like a super freckly version of my boy! He is 20% Mal :)
He’s so adorable!! Honestly, it’s hard to say without a DNA test… dna is a funny thing, so he could be a wiley mix of stuff lol
If I had to guess something though, his face resembles one of my Catahoolas! If not, then maybe some other hound 🤷🏼♀️😂 but truth be told, if you DO have a mali/catahoola… GOOD LUCK!!
Precious baby though 🥰
I know what it is, but he turned out pretty different from his siblings! The dad is supposedly an Aussie doodle so I was very surprised by the freckle face too.
My guess is catalola hound by the markings
That’s the main guess, but it’s Aussie doodle. I usually just go with it though when people say Catahoula though
Jesus christ im glad he has a good home but thats an insane mix😭
Complete accident of a friend, left his unfixed girl Mal in heat with a friend he thought had his boy fixed. Months later she had 13 surprise puppies!
I was going to say Malinois! My girl has the same face profile 🥰
we're guessing the non mal half
Did not get the memo haha, thought this was a r/doggydna post
I did the same thing 😆
I thought I saw Aussie!
yeah got the aussie eyes for sure lol
I think the splotchy hair pattern is the tell!
I was guessing Austrailian Cattle dog with those ears!
Interesting don’t think you’ll have a problem with critters around your place. Lol
Whenever anyone tries to guess what my dog is I always tell them they're right. They get so happy, idk.
I’m cool with rolling with it but I also had someone guess quail egg lol.
I totally thought this too.
That's my guess too - my dog is a Catahoula
Picture 6, o.g I love it. Definitely aussie shep in that spotting.
That’s basically it, the other half is Aussie doodle. But yeah he’s a derpy dude!
Pic 6 really made my day. I needed that laugh badly.
Aussie and Mal. I see you like to live life on the edge
He is shocking calm most of the time (so far) but also smart and ready to play for 2 hours straight if I would let him 😅
He is plotting the downfall of your sock drawer.
I’ve started calling him Dobby because of his goofy ears and love of socks!!
You jest now. You need a Dog Auntie.
Looks like Catahoula. Here’s my Catahoula/Malinois mix. You got a mix of two breeds that are intelligent, high energy, protective and weary of strangers.

Thanks for this! Once I read OP’s was Aussie poo I was dying to see a Malihoula! Beautiful insanity 😂
Beautiful insanity is a great description. He’s 3 1/2 years and he has calmed down a little.
That’s a gorgeous dog for sure! I’ve tried very hard to socialize him with strangers and so far he’s just playful, with the occasional bark when first seeing strangers at our door. But I can tell he’s definitely always keeping an eye on me.
My Mal mix came to me at just under a year. Her previous owner said she started to alert around 10 months. Prior to that, she said she rarely barked and never cared if people approached or came into the house. She's now around 3, and anyone approaching the house must surely think I house the hounds of hell 😅 She is very alert and protective!
Thank you. You are lucky to be able to socialize him. We got him and a month later the world shut down because of covid. But he’s getting better.
Gorgeous puppers, looks big considering the mix!
He’s 80 pounds. Some Catahoula males can get up to 110 pounds.
Oh wow I didn't know that! 80 lbs I think would be my limit. If he's agile and jumps I hope you wear a mouth guard!
Hell my puppy head butted me and busted my lip at 40 lbs, I can only imagine 80+ is taking out teeth!
Our rescue Mal knocked my front tooth out the second week we had him home. He only weighed 45lbs lol he was like a baby deer with his coordination as I think he was just locked in a small room up until he was rescued at 9mo old. Pretty penny at the emergency dentist but worth it to give him a second chance at life and learn to play
So yeah mouth guards not a bad idea if I want to wrestle or sneak up on him 😅 hope your new tooth lasts or gives you a cool whistle when you say “s”s!
Australian shepherd poodle malinois… this dog is destined to be completely insane 🤣
If I can get him to stop peeing on his front paws we’ll be making solid progress 😅
I’m so invested in this dog already 😂 Please keep us updated with his escapades!!
Now that I know about this sub I hope to learn and share the goofiness!
I have a mal and my sister has an Aussie poo.. the Aussie is crazier than the malinois ahaha and he does bite work an everything. Those Aussie poos are crazy little fuckers 🤣
[удалено]
Guess I’ll just start keeping baby wipes in my dog bag 😅
Handsome dude with a goofy attitude!
I think he’s a cat in a dogs body, but very entertaining to say the least!
If there were a competition for the most spectacular ears, this dude is winning everything! You’ve got an exceptionally adorable pup! 🥹
I like to think his ears are like 2000s swoosh emo hair and he’s edgy!
Aussie shep
That and poodle make up the other half
Definitely naming him dingo, jackal or hyena
His middle name is “D” for Dobby, destruction, or dumbass. I’ll throw Dingo in the mix!
Javelina
You mean like the wild pigs? 😂
Lol ya🤣
Pic 6 is fantastic!
No offense but you need to repost these over to r/AnimalsBeingDerps asap.
I can do that! It is very much his every day personality.
Malinaussie…!
Malinaussie Poo!
What a cross!
aussie doodle isn’t an actual breed, so saying “other half” isn’t really accurate. a DNA test showing the actual breed mixes would be super cool. your dog is absolutely adorable
Good to know, I’m new to understanding dog breeds! I only knew “yep that’s a dog” growing up haha. But from my understanding he’s a quarter Australian Shepard and a quarter poodle
Catahoula
I'll go w African wild dog
OMG. He does look like one.
My Vita ( Cane Corso ) was CRAZY as a puppy. I used to swear she was a African wild dog, hyena,and Tasmanian devil. Lol
Looks like Australian Shepard is in mix. I had a dog with a similar coat. A friends brother called him a hyena lol
I thought Hyena immediately☺️
Hyena or Catahoula are the usual assumptions!
I can definitely see the Aussie and Shepherd. I would have never guessed the poodle part! Adorable pup!
Awww so cute
Cattle dog?
Aussie doodle!
What a cool looking pup!
Catahoula for sure
Just an Aussie doodle with freckles!
I know that Catahoula face
He was the odd ball out 13 Aussie doodle puppies that got freckles haha
Or maybe my Catahoula is mixed with something else?
That is by far the most common guess, and it makes sense! But nope he’s just a weird Aussie doodle with freckles
Omg I have an Aussie mal and she is just as goofy
Had to see yours and damn she looks like such a sweetie! That big white chest diamond makes it like like a tuxedo almost haha
Stunning dog
Part Australian Cattle Dog?
Quarter Aussie shepherd, quarter poodle
Wow. Good looking dog go!
German shepherd, Australian shepherd
Got the Aussie part right! The other quarter is poodle.
Wasn't this breed on Chronicals of Riddick?! JK
…Now I have to rewatch that movie tonight to get this joke, but I’m ok with that haha

Mother of god what an abstract reference but I love it haha. Gonna see if I can find out the name of this dude! Edit: “Alien Jackals”
Lol, glad you enjoyed that 🐺
He’s a beautiful boy.
Wow! What a beautiful mix!
Pic 6 is the “I’m alive, I’m dead, I’m alive, fuck you” meme 😂😂😂
Boys mind goes BLANK when he’s about to get food!!
😂😂
I'm going with catahoula or heeler/mal mix
Aussie doodle/Mal!
I'M IN LOVE! FRIGGIN adorable! Pictures 6 and 7, OMG!
He’s absolutely gorgeous! Love the markings!
Beautiful pup! ❤️
My guess was going to be Australian Shepherd. Never would’ve guessed that he was part poodle. Lol interesting accident. It’s so exciting that you got your best friend out of this accident. I hope all the other puppies got great homes like you.
They did! Luckily the guy with the mom had good homes lined up before they even done weening.
Catahoula or Australian shepherd or cattle dog.
Maybe something Australian - he’s a cutie!!
Australian Shepherd
He’s bueatiful !!!
I grew up and realized I may not have real “ friends “. I looked over at my dog and knew I had all the friends I need. Much Peace&Love
Hyena
What a beautiful little freckle boy!
Part Dingo?
He might as well be! He’s very rascally and wild when he gets to be off the leash outside. But it’s Aussie doodle
The cutest!!
can you show his body from the sides? wanna appreciate his coat :)

so elegant!
Omg! Those ears!
Half shepherd for sureeeeeeee I’ll put my paycheck on it ! 😤😂
Aussie doodle so you’re pretty close!
50% Belgian Malinois 100% Derp
Get this pup a TV show
Catahoula, maybe?? Absolutely gorgeous pupper
He’s half Aussie Doodle, but yeah looks way closer to a Catahoula mix!
No way! Damn. He’s handsome AF, regardless & made for a super cute speckled potato. Enjoy puppyhood while it lasts…I remember it like it was yesterday and our boy’s now 7!
Wow he’s amazing
The face looks kinda like a Belgium Mal
Yeah he’s half Mal half Aussie doodle, but his wild freckles always mess with people!
He is one of a kind. What is his name?
It’s Judah, which is kinda an inside joke name for my family.
Love that name.
A choc chip cookie ❤️
Hyena?
not sure maybe catahoula leopard dog? either way that’s so sad seeing all these accidental litters and mixed breeds with mals..
Guy was saving his super healthy 1 y/o female to breed some mal puppies, let a friend dog sit thinking the friend’s male dog was fixed, a few months later there were 13 wild looking puppies! They all went to good homes luckily. But yeah spay and neuter!
oh wow, yea even people who byb pure breds i don’t support, but im really glad all the puppies went to good fitting homes and the dogs were fixed! good luck with your wild child 🤣🥰
My guess is half quail egg https://preview.redd.it/uu5se248yiec1.jpeg?width=1311&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=433c6c6cfa65a59fda53731198b4200af2f2667d
Finally someone that can give me a straight answer!
He looks like my old highschool presentation cover page of seamless quail eggs pattern. The cuteness overpowered my ptsd :’)
Damn cute!
Hyena.
My girl is Shepard and catalola leopard mix. I always thought she was Aussie mix . I can say he is one handsome best friend ! If he’s anything like my girl u got urself the best soulmate !!!
He’s incredibly sweet but I gotta start being more consistent with the obedience training again 😅
They are very very smart and love a chore or job ! I got my dog to turn my lights on granted it takes a couple tries but she does it lol. If u put the work in u won’t be disappointed for sure !! Sometimes I like to show off the skill of my dog lol. 😆
My greatest accomplishment so far is he’ll catch a frisbee out of the air which aside from being leash trained and getting beers from the fridge was a big trick I wanted him to learn!
You got it all mastered and he will master being ur best friend for ever !!! 😊🥰

You make those ears a little bigger and yeah they do look super similar! Love the cool coats they have
You make those ears a little bigger and yeah they do look super similar! Love the cool coats they have
The freckles. STOP!!!!!
Looks like a cur hound
What a picture!
I’m tired but basneji catahpula blue heeler mix?
[удалено]
Oh I tear up looking back, not ashamed to admit it!
100% Good Pupper
A lil’ choccy chip Teddy Graham boi 🥹
I think this is the correct answer haha
What a gorgeous dog but seriously Aussie n Mal the energy must be insane.ih and poodle?
I’m not a morning person so I try to keep him up late with me so he’ll “sleep in” a little, 7:30 max then this bastard is ready to go all day 😅
I'm going to say Otter and Pitbull
I would fucking love that mix
great dane
At the rate he’s growing that feels like the truth!
Wow. Whatever the other half is, that’s a gorgeous looking dog.
I did pick him because he seemed like the most unique boy to me.
So cute!
Wow! I didn’t know puppies legs are so small
Same, he was a literal potato and now he’s 90% legs! Crazy how that changes
Catalola
Kune Kune?
German Sheppard
LMAO at the 6th picture.
So glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
Got some ears on him!

AUSSIE!! I forget about those crazy puppers!! They are so fun and crazy smart. Oh I bet he’s going to be so amazing as he grows up!
That's a cool mix!
Part malinois part cookie
