Does this dog look like a full German shepherd see pic

[Beautifulkitty]

I'm just wondering does this dog look like a full German shepherd. I'm torn . She's apprently 10 weeks old.

Sorry not the best pic

I'd have said it was a puppy.

Looks like a GSD to me. She's a very pretty pup.

She looks like one, the ears look a little big but it could just be the angle

No, the ears are unusually large/out of proportion as puppies/young dogs. That’s normal for that breed. It looks right to me.

@Beautifulkitty Have the parents been tested/certified for lack of hip dysplasia and other genetic faults. Please look at the registered breed sites and they will tell you what you should be requesting in this regard. Breeders should have certifications for the parents for the list of known faults in the breed.

No not really. I was more wondering really. Dd got her very cheap which I feel a bit suspicious about and strange things were said to.

Are you worried she's stolen ?

It did worry me that it could be a scam .. Im probably wrong though.

This is a copy and paste of what dd said to me.

In the house she had like 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds. The German shepherd had 2 puppies. But the other one apparently got “stolen” beats me I didn’t know what to believe anymore then she kept going on & on about the puppy now got & said she’ll pay someone to get rid of her & i didn’t like the idea of it. She sounded like she had no control with anything she said type thing so that’s when i stepped in & offered to take her instead.

Dd does have the chip details so maybe im just over thinking.

I would say 100% GSD. Have had three from puppies. Ears are always massive once they've popped up. Looks like a lovely pup.

Yes I would say so, she’s adorable too.
she hasn’t grown into her ears yet!

@Beautifulkitty hi again , still think full vet check, they can possibly see if the pup flags issues as stolen too (I believe) pup looks like she's going to be cared for well by you and your daughter .
With you owning them before you will be aware of the health issues the breed is prone to , hopefully all is legit and the puppy is well

Yes she does, they all have huge ears at ten weeks, but it's a breed you really have to do due diligence on before buying. There are a lot of poorly bred GSDs with hip and spine problems out there. If in any doubt at all about the breeder I'd advise someone to back out. She's adorable though.

That’s absolutely gsd, my friend has had 3 now latest about a year old, and looked like that at about ten weeks. That’s gsd through and through,

Your update is very confusing. Your DD bought the dog and thinks it's stolen? Or you think your DD stole the dog??

Why does it matter? Can you explain what exactly you think the problem is? You say your DD is speaking in riddles, but so are you

What a gorgeous puppy, looks 100% GSD to me. But I would be checking online for reports of stolen pups.

She looks good to me.
My grandfather used to look for a mostly pink mouth/ mouth roof. Two mole like hairy dots on each cheek and one on the lower jaw.

I think so .

Yup, full GSD. But sounds like, as others have said, that she may have been stolen, or a farmed pup who was surplus? How was the ‘mum’ behaving with her, did they look like and behave like mum and pup? How did your DD find out about the pup? Gorgeous tho! If hip scored parents etc and I was assured not farmed, I’d be fine with her!

Dd said she went to see a bird with her friend as her friend wanted a bird as hers had died. When they got to the place they had puppy's and the woman was going on how she needed it to go .. but dd does have the chip papers so maybe it's OK

Gsd owner here.

Yes it does

I like a pure breed as I know what to expect. A dog's behaviour is said to be 80% genes, 20% upbringing.
My daughter adopted a Red Show Cocker, a breed I know well. Due to its characteristics, we think there is also Red Setter there, probably to get the colour, but it makes for a very different temperament.
Would you believe a parti-colour Cocker's temperament is different to a solid such as Golden ?

Yep GSD pups do look all ears and paws- beautiful dog too !!

No but I had 2 terrier cross types one just died at 15 no ill health apart from when he got old and my other one is 14 in frb again no ill health i honestly believe mongrels cross breeds are far better less health issues etcv

She is, but the other end is more important, back and legs.

I'm more concerned for the bird. Who on earth in our enlightened times would cage a bird?

Yes, this. Cheap probably doesn’t mean well bred. But it is normal for GSD pups to have enormous ears.

There are dog DNA tests if you were desperate to know. The /DoggyDNA and /IDmydog subreddits are fascinating.

Please make sure your DD plans for insurance costs etc if she does get the puppy.

It's unusual for its ears to be "up" rather than floppy so young.
