Default Short/Plush Stock Coat?

So a friend of mine has been seeking advice as she is looking into buying a GSD, and the question came up as to what type of coat Kali has. I'm pretty sure she is a saddleback black/red, but the coat type I'm not quite sure. Her coat lies flat, but is fairly thick with an undercoat, and she has feathering on her hindquarters and tail with a thicker coat around her neck.

I've looked up a few sites on examples of coat types, but I can't really tell if she would be short or more of a plush stock coat. Any opinions based on these pictures? They're the only ones I have at work, so I may need to upload more from home.

Thanks a bunch for your input!

How old is she? I ask because they don't get their 'plush' coats (not to be confused with a long coat) until they are a little older. I'm trying to remember about what age but it's over a year.

She does appear to be stock coat in the pics but if she is still a puppy that could change.
