Looks like a Shepherd to me. How much do her parents weigh? Remember, German Shepherds aren't meant to be large dogs. They're medium size working dogs. A good weight for a female at maturity is around 60 lbs. I say that because a lot of people expect the sire and dam to weigh 90-140 lbs it seems like. Don't worry too much about the ears yet either, often they're not up until the puppy is done teething slightly after 6 months....some not til 7 or 8 months. Your pup won't teeth for another 4 or 5 weeks-ish (assuming she's 12 weeks).

She looks it, being skinny is GOOD , her ears can still go up for another 3 months,or when she's almost done teething and exercise...give her love and quality food...Good luck

Mom was around 60 dad maybe 80 today she weighted in @ 13 lbs @ 12 weeks which is really bad we sent out a fecal sample today and started her on antibiotics because she has runny stools on and off shes on solid gold wolf cub, I really doubt her kibble is the problem. She whines when we push on her stomach so it might be an infection, which im hopeing the meds take care of.

When you find out if there is anything internal that will help. Also was she on Solid Gold before you got her? A direct switch can be rough on a puppy or any dog of that matter, especially a Shepherd. 60 and 80 for the adults are very good, ideal weights.

When you say she is skinny..does her ribs show?? She could have worms..If her ribs are showing and looks like she has a round stomach that is a big sign of worms. Mostly hooks and rounds that she gets from the mothers milk . Just make sure the vet worms her and you will see a new dog in a few days..Ears will be going up and down for awhile especially during the teething time. There are lots of articles on line about this. She looks very sweet.

As soon as I got her I dewormed her saw worms in her stool right away shes going on 2 weeks of solid gold I figure she would adapt by now. The fact she whines when we put pressure on her tummy worries me could it still be parasites?
