The best way determine that is to take her to a club and have her evaluated.

Beautiful dog in great condition! I agree with Amy, visit as many clubs as you can and then have her evaluated. Where do you live?

Of course she might - as folks have said, take her to a couple clubs and let the people there evaluate her.

I once had a ASL female from a very top kennel (daughter of a Select dog) who spent the first 2 years of her life as a show dog and family pet to our toddler, and then proved to be a natural in the ScH ring so it is certainly possible that they will enjoy it and prosper.

I would take her off the spring pole if your serious.... GSD's need to learn how to use the back of their mouth to bite. Not the front canines like she is using with that spring pole. Look into a flirt pole or make a tug. Help build her drive, and work on an appropriate bite.

Of course, find a trainer/club around you....
