Chianti's Idenity Crisis - Belgian Malinois Yes-No??? - Page 1

So I adopted Chianti this past winter she is now 6 months old. One of her sisters had blood shipped off to a lab to determine her breed. The results came back as German Shepherd and Stafford-Shire Terrier. However, I have heard that those tests are far from accurate. While browsing the internet I have came across Belgain Malinois, a breed that seems to fit her better.

I am looking for a dog breed expert, particularly in regards to Belgian Malinois,to help determine her breed. I am open to questions or can post more pictures if needed.

A pic from the side showing her standing would be more helpful. No-one can tell you for sure her breed/ breeds so why worry about it. Personality and drive would be an indication but by no means conclusive. Enjoy your dog.

I agree, a photo from the side would be better, but at first glance I tend to say not a Malinois. 

Did the owner of her sister send a photo along with the blood sample?  I have found the results of those tests to be quite interesting, people that send photos seem to get results that can at least make sense based on the dogs physical appearance, people who don't send photos get very different results.  For example, a friend sent off a sample from her Malinois/GSD but no photo, and it came back Bernese Mtn Dog as the primary breed.
