Recently I got a GSDd puppy. Does she look purebred to you guys ? I know you can't really know without papers, but the only papers the breeder got are medical papers that say both parents' breed is German Shepherd. Do you think it can be trusted?
The way to find out is if you know the puppy's sire and dam(father and mother), or the previous owner tells or gives you the names. They should be listed in on the pedigree. After you have the names look up AKC German Shepard pedigree service. My parents did that work along with breeding, training, and showing shepards and Flat Coated Retrievers. You might find their dogs listed if you go back to the 70's.
My dad's friend has a black German Shepherd who gave birth and he said he was gonna give me this puppy. I really want a purebred German Shepherd and this one has some German Shepherd features, but he doesn't look like German Shepherds his age (5 weeks old).
I'm suspicious because I don't know what breed the father is.
His name is Bruno and I got him when he was 1.5 months old from someone who told me that he was a purebred GSD. Now he is 10 months old. He runs a lot, is extremely energetic and fun loving, but is very protective. He loves to play fetching and tugging. He is not food oriented and eats small quantities. He is extremely intelligent and barks at strangers for few minutes and when he has confirmed that things are safe then he will start playing with them.

He looks like a pure breed long hair German Shepherd.
Does my dog look like a purebred German Shepherd even with the floppy ears? We got him from the shelter. They said he was a German Shepherd, but someone shaved him. I'm just wondering if he could be mixed with anything.
He looks like he may be a Golden Lab mixed with German Shepherd. Hope this helped. :)
Is my dog a purebred German Shepherd? She has a light coat and short hair. I'm no pro, but was just wondering.
Is my dog a pure long hair GSD? I'm worried that his hair is a bit weird.
This is normal for all small puppies. My dog had puppies and their hair changed. Like children, they have baby hair that will fall out and their adult hair will grow in. Then you will see a major change. I did notice that the color of 2 of the puppies my dog had their hair really changed color when their adult hair came in.
When yu purchased the dog did the breeder give yuo any type of paper for the dog. They should have the full bloodline for both the parents if they are selling purebred dogs. I would demand the papers from them proving the dog is actually a purebred dog. Other than this you can check with the vet or even do a DNA test to make sure the breeder was telling you the truth.
As your puppy matures its hair may change so that it looks like an adult long-hair GDS. Another way its appearance should change is the shape of its nose. If you purchased the dog as a purebred GDS the person you bought it from should be able to provide papers proving the puppy is purebred.
Thoughts on her? The vet estimates that she is about 3 1/2 months as she's just starting to loose her baby teeth. She was abandoned, no papers, no previous owner, nothing.
She has all the right characteristics of a German Shepherd. Next will be DNA test.
Is my puppy a purebred German Shepherd? He is eight weeks old and he was advertised as purebred. He is super sweet and smart. I am just wondering what everyone thinks.
Is she a German Shepherd or a mix?
Her name is Myxa and I got her from someone who told me that she was a purebred. She runs alto and is very protective, loves to eat, but eats less than our purebred male does. She stands with her back leg out and her other leg in like our male. She loves to bark at strangers.
I am not a vet but we have had four G/S and your dog certainly looks like a pure bred G/S. Of course without papers no one can prove it. Our four did not have papers and looked like yours.
The puppy is only 1.5 months. People were I reside never have heard about white German Shepherds. So I'm wondering in your opinion if he looks like a German Shepherd?
I posted mom & dad'd pictures. We know the dad is a German, but the mom they don't know since it was gifted.
