Is it rare to never get so much as a snarl?

This is our Coco when she was a pup (she's 9 now!).
She's been a wonderful family dog and everywhere we go, people just make an incredible fuss of her.

Even though she barks of course and loves to chase birds, cats and drones, we have never once see her so much as wrinkle up her nose in annoyance, never mind snarl or show any ounce of aggression. I'm just wondering how normal that is?

I used to have GS as a child and I remember all of them, at some point, might wrinkle up their nose in displeasure if they're being irritated by too many kisses on their nose... Just never Coco. She's just so placid.

Very common?

Is she a purebred German Shepherd?
None of my dogs have ever wrinkled up their noses or snarled at me, only play fighting in a non-threatening manner.

Some others, particularly pet lines, just have soft personalities, nothing wrong with that.
