Is this puppy a purebred?

Desmo · 01-15-2012, 04:49 PM

Hi all, long time reader of this forum and just registered here today. I have been looking for a GSD to adopt, preferably a young one or a puppy, and found one I'm very interested in last week. I filled out the adoption application and was able to go meet the puppy today. I am very interested but am concerned if she is a purebred. I think I will proceed with the adoption regardless, my current 2 year old GSD had no issues with her, but I am just curious.

Some more info: She is three months old, has a strong bond already with her foster mom. Was easily the calmest puppy I have ever met when I saw her. The rescue group is sure her mom is a purebred GSD but they are unsure who her father even is.

Here are some pictures that were up of her. Any opinions are greatly appreciated!

Without papers, there is no way to know for sure... However I would say yes, it appears to be PB to me.

If you like her, why does it matter if she is pure? You're not gonna breed her I assume, so her being pure is totally academic

She looks purebred.

I'm going to say yes, the pup is PB. Certainly looks like it.

Yes, it was just out of curiosity. I usually can tell no problem but for some reason I was second guessing. I will be going forward with the adoption process.

Thanks for all of the help, I appreciate it!

Personally, I think she is a purebred GSD.
THANK YOU for adopting! =)
