Basque Shepherd or Catalan sheepdog???

Hi!

We are thinking of adopting this little girl. She is 9 month old, 13 kilo and currently residing in a Spanish shelter.

The "ad" says she is a rather small Catalan Sheepdog but no further history or family available. Also that she would not grow any further.

I image searched her and I get Basque sheepdog as a result. Ear, fur colour and length match the description. However, it is difficult to find a nearly 1 year old Catalan Sheepdog for comparison. And the grown ups have all much longer hair and floppy ears which makes me doubt the breed mentioned in the shelter description.

Any guess? We are a bit worried that the coat is now deceiving and she will become a big fluffball… Would you recommend a "calm and timid" sheepdog like that for an urban and relaxed lifestyle? Any experience and advise are appreciated. Thank you!
