Thanks for posting this.

Without a stack photo, all we can tell is he's a cute long hair GSD.

I think he's beautiful but to see best structually, we need a side shot but truly from the side. And an official 'stack' position has the front two feet together and under the dog. The rear 2 legs are split though with the nearside leg closest to the camera stretched out and back with the lower part of the leg (just above the paw) perpendicular to the ground. The farside rear leg (other side of the dog from the camera) needs to be under the dog.

This is a stack:

He looks just like my girl and she is a Long Stock Coat.
The easiest ways to tell is the long hair around the ears.
Plush coat is in reference to a Stock coated dog that has extra fluff or undercoat not the length of the top coat.
