German or American Blood Line?

Hello fellow GSD lovers,

I have a wonderful 10 month old GSD that I bought from someone on craigslist (I didn't know any better at the time) and he gave me the AKC pedigree paper but unfortunately I lost it.
I remember the paper had all German names however. Does this mean my dog is from German bloodlines or is it possible that he's still an American line GSD?
I'm also asking because it might be easy for backyard breeders to fake the papers and a new dog owner like me would've never knew.
Linking the pics here:

Help is appreciated, thank you!

your dogs appearance doesn’t lean strongly towards one type or another.... there are also many more lines than simply “american” or “german”. imo, your dog is likely a mash up of many different lines..... generally what one would consider “pet lines”
