Is my white german sheperd purebred? - Page 2

The pup in your avatar looks like a purebred white german shepherd to me.  He also looks about 3 months old in that pic.   How old did they tell you he was on July 17th? 

He was about 7 or 8 weeks old when we got him. Also i've noticed that on his ears and a little bit on his back is a reddish color. Is that common for white German shepherds?

That is called biscuit, they can get the tan, or biscuit coloring mixed in their coat.

TASTE OF THE WILD IS MADE BY DIAMOND. Even with out the recall here in the west, I STOPPED FEEDING IT, ALL THE RESCUES WERE LOSING WEIGHT ON IT, and getting sick, went back to the Acana made by Orijen...no more TOTW for me!!!! Steph

Yes; and it will quite possibly become more noticeable as he gets older.   One thing in his favour, if the small picture shows it accurately, is he does have good pigment on his nose -  i.e. it's black, not liver, another common problem in whites  -  and he has good dark eyes. 

Ok so for the most part he is purebred? Also, what would be the choice of dog food for him? I know a few of you have gave me ideas, but i want him to look good and not so skinny ..... Another thing, I want to register him. How long does that usually take and how about how much?

If they did not supply you with any registration application, then there is no chance of registering him unless neutered and through the AKC
PAL or ILP, for perfomance events only. I believe the UKC has a similar program and again, they have to be spayed/neutered before you can
register them as such.

Ok thanks

You said you got your lil guy on July 17th, and he was 7 or 8 weeks old when you got him.....

So by August 24th (just a few days ago) he would have been 3 months old or 3 months and 1 week old. 

So my estimate was right, the photos you show of your pup in your avatar look just fine for 3 months old. 
tannish color shading on white German Shepherds is common.

I see absolutely nothing that indicates that your pup is a mix-breed.  Size, color, expression all show purebred German Shepherd to me. 

Please note that different bloodlines of German Shepherds mature differently, one bloodline's 3 month old pups may look entirely different in size, bone and "puppyishness" than another bloodline's.  These are not entirely indicative of what the dog may look like as an adult.   Some bloodlines throw huge pups that turn out to be average size as adults whilst other bloodlines throw small or lean pups that are oversized as adults (and other variations)   It takes many years of experience in viewing puppies to start to learn about puppy "types"
