Need some help ;)

I would just like to say hello first of all,

I need some help, it not life or death thing it just to satisfy my own curiosity.
Ok here goes I got my healthy 2 month old puppy just before Christmas from San Jose animal center. When I first found out about her I was told that she was a rescue with her 3 bother and sisters from a backyard breeder that was selling them off, from what I understand she didn't have a very good first 2 months as 3 or 4 of her other brother and sister didn't make it; I was also told that she was a GSD mix with a Siberian husky.
When I got to the shelter and went for the interview for approval of adoptions I was then told that she was not a mix but full GSD, I asked about the mother and father all I was told that they were two extremely healthy dogs because they were the money makers and that they were in the process of trying to get the owners to either surrender the dogs or get them spayed and neutered due to the bad way they treated their litters. Now I grew up with 2 GSD on short hair and one long hair and they had puppies on top of that I have seen my fair share of GSD over my life but I have never seen one that looks like my girl Sasha.
What I need help with if anyone can is has any one seen GSD puppies that looks like her.
Here is one from the day i brought her home.

She looks purebred to me :-) I am no expert, but she looks like a black/silver or black/cream. Husky/GSD mixes are usually fluffy with the curved tail (just my anecdotal opinion). Have you taken her to a vet? What has your vet said?

He dint know but he told me i could take a DNA test if i wanted, but from what i have been told the DNA test that i can take is not always very accurate.

She's probably pure...a black/silver type or just very light tan. Those ears are way too big to have any husky in that dog. And look at that second picture...I've never seen a husky naturally stack themselves like that. You just have a gangly, awkward looking, GSD puppy!

You're so lucky to have adopted a purebred! I'm sure you're going to have an amazing dog.

Thanks

She looks GSD to me.

Congratulations on rescuing this little girl. She looks like she has a great home.

Pieter · 03-21-2013, 01:16 PM

Thanks we do love her.

PS: sorry about the pic admin thought it was ok since it didn't block me from posting it.

She's a cutie. There really is a lot of difference in the way pure bred GSDs look. She could easily be pure bred.
