Thanks yeah I shouldn't worry about what people say....just gets annoying explaining that she is just tall. She was spayed young at like 6 months. She is a very calm dog and a lil too submissive, which makes it hard to train sometimes since she doesn't have any drive for treats....at all! I love her just the same though....she is the easiest dog. Being here in Germany till 2014 I am on the lookout for another one....this one with a lil more drive so we can work on some Schutzhund,

I will say that her body frame is similar to that of a malinois...being that her legs are longer than the average shepherd. However she is is 28" tall (just measured her since I was curious). Her hair is also pretty darn short. Other than that she looks purebred.

She looks like Rin Tin Tin!

It was her legs and their shape that would make me think Mali, but having her spayed at 6 months can affect the
length of the bones. You can do a search here about early spay/neuter to see what I'm talking about. Besides the
legs, I would say full Shepherd.
It doesn't really matter what she is, as long as you love her is all that matters. She looks very happy and very well
loved :) If it is any condolence, I am constantly asked if my black GSD is a GSD Lab X even though he looks nothing
like a lab. Most people around here haven't seen a black GSD. I've also been asked about my 6.5 yr old "puppy" and
how big she is going to get. LOL To her credit, she is on the small side at 59lbs, but the general public thinks the GSD
is a huge dog. And becuase she and her son are sables, they're automatically mixed with wolf.
The general public has many misconceptions about our breed.

Wow I never knew that. I think you are exactly right! I read an article about early spay/neuter. It sounds just like my dog....tall, light bone structure, narrow chest and head...I really think this is it. I think she may actually have been neutered younger than 6 months...it's been a couple years now.

My guess is that she is from American bloodlines. They tend to be much more finely boned.
