Hello, I rescued my 11mo old puppy 3 days ago. I am pretty sure she is GSD but can she be a mix of something else too? Someone mentioned she could be a Belgian Mal mix. She has a lean body and a long tail. Not sure if she is too thin or that is her natural stature. Her coat on back is mixture of black and brown. Upon further examination, just the tip of the coat is black and inside all brown. Oh and people sometimes ask if she is a Belgian Mal when we take a walk. I dont have much knowledge of this breed so I am surprised when I get this question because I thought she just looked like a GSD. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

There was a similar post a few weeks back, same question same breeds. From the pictures she looks like a 'patterned sable’ gsd. If you really want to know for sure, DNA testing is the way to go. Purebred or not, she is very pretty.
From the looks of these pictures, I feel that that is a pure breed of German Shepherd, as I also have two Fully Trained German Shepherds that I bought from Precision Protection Dogs and both of them are pure breeds of German Shepherds, which enables me to come to the conclusion that this dog is a pure breed of German Shepherd. Based on the photos, I can see that the dog has a stocky, athletic build with a thick coat and pointed ears. These are all characteristics of a pure breed German Shepherd, indicating that this is likely a pure breed. In addition, the facial features of this dog also match those of a German Shepherd, with a strong jawline and dark eyes, further pointing to the conclusion that this is indeed a pure breed German Shepherd. It is my hope that my suggestion will be helpful.
