he could just be missing a mask or reverse mask. Try googling it, he looks like some of those dogs. Either way hes very handsome and from what Ive read a smart boy.
This isn't my dog. It's a friends dog. Lol. He does look almost like mine though. Her dog had puppies and that was the dad and I was just seeing if she really knew what she was talking about.
When you dont breed toward a goal or the standard, this is what you can get. Unknowns! Could be purebred, just very poor quality. Could of had something else mixed in the third generation so some dilution of the pureness. Put definatly should not be used in breeding.
It was an lol towards her because she thought it was my dog. And it isn't. There is no reason to be judgmental. I just asked a question. They say he is, just like I was told my dog was. But people lie, and I was just seeing opinions. Thank you for your help!
No. I laughed because she thought it was my dog. I wanted to know if it was full blooded because I was going to get one. I'm in no way even involved in her selling her puppies. I want another dog for my dog. Don't just assume things.
Personally If you are looking to get a purebred dog. look somewhere else. Not saying he isn't pure.. but if you have to ask.. wouldn't that be a red flag?

There should be laws against mutts, like they do in EU or Germany. Not saying every dog needs to be titled etc, but for petes sake..... the dog shelters are filled enough without people purposefully creating more mutts
In most states their are laws that your dog must be neutered or spayed at a young age. Therefore preventing breeding. If they are not following those laws why would they follow any other mutt laws??
My suggestion would be if you want a German shepherd go to a responsible breeder. That way you don't have to worry about whether it's purebred or not. You'll know because it's on the pedigree.
The problem with people like your friend, is they'll breed the dog and claim it's a purebred german shepherd. Then people will buy one of those puppies assuming it is purebred, breed it with another "purebred" shepherd and call those puppies purebred. When in fact they are just a bunch of mutts.

And I feel the same way most of you do. All I did was ask a simple question. I'm not exactly looking for a definite pure bred dog, I would just like one for a friend for my dog. But I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a dog.
I'm not an expert, but his muzzle looks too short to be a purebred. Regardless, a good dog is a good dog. BUT, if your friend isn't sure, it means he's not registered. Therefore you have no idea where that dog came from and if he's even sound enough to responsibly breed. If you do get a pup, make sure you get it fixed since its only for companion purposes.
