Recently accepted a four month old female for re-homing. What's your best guess for the mix?

Heinz 57 :)

How much does she weigh?

How tall is the pup, what is her weight and what is her temperament like? I saw a dog recently that looked much like the puppy in your photos and was told it was an Aussie/GSD mix. I'm not convinced and I don't know whether they really knew that for certain.

She's around 18 inches in height and weight in at 37.6 pounds at the vet's last Friday morning-she's on the chunky side. My mechanic accepted her from another individual at 10-12 weeks with that person claiming she was a "purebred" German Shepherd--NOT. I see a hint of the breed (I've six purebreds) but sure can't tell what else.

She's very social, extremely intelligent and can really maintain focus-especially if she thinks "food" is involved-not a great lot of drive but sure loves to roughhouse with the big dogs. Has the makings of an excellent companion for someone-I am currently refining her manners & teaching basic obedience-she's a quick study.

She's got a cattle dog face in the head on shot... the ears are a bit baffling, but in the side on shot the face looks more terrier like due to the proportion. The back legs and tail look GSD

Cattle dog/GSD, quite possibly. The ears could be from the GSD side--they might still stand up.

Panda shepherd? [ducks, runs...]

Seriously, those ears remind me of a collie. Maybe she's part border collie. Cattle dogs are similar to collies, so that's a good guess too.

Sometimes the ears on rough collies stay erect, and the breeder has to make them fold over. Ironic, isn't it? Just the opposite of what GSD people sometimes have to do! Same thing happens with the ears of border collies, but the breed standard doesn't call for them to have to fold over, so they are just left alone.

Though terriers have similar ears, her body shape in the shot where she's sprawled on the floor does not look terrier-like. She's not square enough for that.

Can't say I see much terrier-body's too heavy-Border Collie possible-hey, when she lays upside down those ears stand up-really looks GS then-all the white makes me think BC also. Her back end is a smidgen higher then her shoulders-she's quite square too-height & lenght about the same. She does have large feet and fairly heavy bone and her coat is coarse.

My neighbour had pure german shepherd pups with that much white on them, maybe she is pure. The ears do look like they could stand.
