Mixed with...? - Page 1

Here is my beautiful adopted Bella. When I got her from the humane society I was informed that she is German Shepherd mixed with Alaskan Husky. To be honest, I guess I don't really see the husky even though she has interesting face markings. Any ideas on her breed origins? 

Additional information, she is almost 2 years old (according to vet. estimate), she is about 65 pounds and has a short coat. And she never howls (as the Husky mix would suggest she might). I don't have a good picture of her stance but her back does not angle down towards her tail that much.

Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

I don't see any mix in her. I sure would like to see better pictures of  her face looking at you not looking down.

i think they call them mixes cause they do not know,beautiful shepherd.

When are people going to get it right.  Not saying "you" are wrong, but people always call them by the wrong name. It is Siberian Husky......An Alaskan Husky is a Siberian Husky mixed with another breed to add more speed/keep the endurance for races like the Iditarod and other sled racing.  I get asked all the time if my Sibes are an Alaskan Husky....I just say no, they're Siberian.....and usually leave it at that. But anywho, to me your dog looks more Shepherd than anything. I don't see any Husky.

She looks like a pure bred shepherd to me. She's not from show lines but she may have some working or just good old average, not bred for any thing special german shepherd in her. Husky? not even an ounce. I've seen a bunch of husky shepherd mixes and they always have some interesting marks or curled tails. And they always seem to get some of that husky coat.
I think she's a very pretty girl. Looks a lot like my friend's Chech bred working line shepherd.
As for Humane Societys,  Nice clueless people who can't tell a great dane from a pom!

All I see is GSD.   Can never count on them to give accurate info.  Rescues make it really hard for people to adopt dogs but try to "sugarcoat" the breed so people will adopt them!  Just don't get it~!
Anyway, Looks like pure GSD to me.  Some American line in there for sure, but don't know what else.

She is beautiful girl,She is GSD>

Thanks everyone. I agree that humane society's don't always know all and I know that I am newer to the breed. I did not initially want something like a German shepherd but her personality changed my mind (my family had had bad experiences in the past and i did not want to bring up bad memories) but she is the most loving dog ever, a total lap dog. Here are a few more pictures, she always turns away from the camera when I take pictures, camera shy. :-) But I definitely know the difference between malamute and husky and the humane society told me "Alaskan husky", I had never heard that but since I wasn't questioning at the time, I just wanted to make her a part of our family, I went with it. Now I'm not sure at all so I posted what I was told with her breed. The thing that throws me off, if she is a pure breed is she has such a short coat, ever shepherd I've seen has had the longer coat. I am no expert at the breeds, which is why I am asking this but I have never seen a GSD with a short coat and no slant on the end of the spine. Thanks again everyone. I am not planning on showing her or anything, after the problems I had dealing with the humane society to adopt her I am just curious. Some additional information about the adoption, I adopted her about a year ago, she was 49 pounds (same height as now) when I got her, starved by her previous owner, shattered k9 teeth from playing with "rocks" with previous owner and terrified of water. Now a healthy 66-68 pound dog that is getting used to water and loves life. Once again, the face shots are hard because she always turns away, I have over 400 pictures of her, and these are the best ones. :-) I love her to death and would never replace her. Like I said previously though, her coat and stance just threw me off before. Below are some pictures - first one - she likes to mouth people when she's playing, never ever bites, just shows what she's got, second one - closest to a straight on shot I had, third one - her and her friend "bear" (a good side shot), and fourth one - one from the humane society prior to me adopting her. 

Absolutely no doubt in my mind now you put up the extra pix - as everyone else said, there's no 'mix' here, she clearly is a GSD.  Not perhaps from very carefully bred lines, but a Shepherd, nonetheless.  Look around you a bit more - the semi- and long coated Shepherds are only a minority in the breed;  most dogs you see will NOT have an exagerated
slope to their croup (partly 'cos most dogs you see will not be posed in show stance, but rather moving and going about their normal daily business !).  Most dog encyclopedias show pictures of GSDs with a coat like your dog's - take a trip to a bookshop or the library.  Or just surf around on here.     Best of luck with her, and enjoy her !!
