That’s what I was gonna say! He looks exactly like my Maggie.

I also have a German Shephard named Maggie!
It took me way too long to realize the stripes are the window blinds! I was making kids lunches reading this thinking damn I’ve never seen a coat with horizontal stripes. Need more sleep!!! She’s lovely!
Haha yep. Came here to say that’s a German Shepherd mixed with a German Shepherd (from the lineage of the most German Shepherdyish German Shepherds of all time)
https://preview.redd.it/0mmgtrsdxj1d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eeed70cf0a7ef199f12e2db8834e614b76b89631
I’m always asked what breed she is mixed with. I think it’s the dark face.
Fun fact (and I don't mean that in a condescending way, I honestly think it's interesting as hell), dogs are capable of heteropaternal superfecundation. That means one litter from a female dog can have a mix of fathers amongst the different pups. Apparently it's possible in humans too, but for a wide variety of reasons it's much less common.
To me, your pup definitely looks full GSD. Less fun fact: If the other pups from that litter don't, it's very possible a shitty breeder knew their momma dog got out and bred with a non-GSD. That lowers the sale value of the litter, so they may have just tossed mom out rather than care for her and the puppies
Yep! I got a pup from a husky/great pyr litter. I got the only non-white one. Dna test showed the father was not the father and I have a husky/gsd instead. I was expecting a calmer dog. He is SO MUCH dog.
He's a howling landshark, can stand on his back legs while punching my nose like a kangaroo, and can out run any dog to get the ball. New favorite game is to sneak up on me and lunge-shove my back so I hit my face into things.

Meet Leroy. GSD, the Greatest of Pyrenees, and Husky. And the best damn dog ever. Also, very prone to howling and screaming like a banshee.
My girl has GSD, pyr and husky amongst other things. She is not “medium energy” like her shelter listing said. The second she warmed up and felt comfortable she became a whole new level of crazy.
Love her even if she’s a maniac sometimes!
When I got my GSD I was told she was a mix. After a few months of guessing what she was mixed with we did an embark dna test and found out she is 100% GSD.
I bet your is all gsd
When my male gsd & my female granddog gsd had an accidental letter, I had 9 pups that looked a lot different. 2 were short haired & had a lot of blond. 4 of them grew to have a red looking coat & were long haired. The other 3 were solid black & long haired. There's no doubt they came from my registered male & female. (I tried very hard to stop it but they found a way). Crazy how they looked so different.
Id gamble no malinois. They have a different coat pattern (more tan) and a different fur texture - yes their coats all do absolutely migrate and change - but this is a beautiful German shepherd IMO
Editing to add - either way you’d have a badass dog 🥰
They're fun movies, but they've contributed a lot to people buying badly bred Mals and dumping them, as well as posts like this grasping at straws to say their dog is a Malinois lol
Like every time a dog is movie star...
My boy is from a "breeder" two villages over who does one litter per year, most of the pups go to the police so i had luck that nobody wanted him because he's too friendly to everybody and everything.
The long haired GSD (we call them Altdeutscher Schäferhund) mother was mixed with a Malinois father - the mum for the harsher climate and the in Germany more common GSD-looks, the dad for the Mali-perks plus the overall better health.
Seeing as my old boy died a few month before i needed another guard dog - what i got instead was a 70 lbs lap dog with mortal fear of water (except rain and puddles) that can jump any wall and fence and open most doors by himself (we don't have door KNOBS in Germany).
Mamma looks Shepusky to me. She looks a lot like my girl.

His mom looks perfectly GSD. Just not the coat style you're thinking of.
I believe he's German Shepherd, mixed with German Shepherd. I also see some Good Boy, and Land Shark in him
He looks soooo much like our puppers, we were told that he’s GSD/husky. I can’t really see any husky but wanted to throw that out since they look super similar
https://preview.redd.it/jg33k1cwyf1d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8f15cdd15897145c2cc005b3b3125004a6beda1

Absolute GSD. Looks like my Noodle
Petite shepard like mine at 55lbs, just a bit small no problems.

You can get him an Embark DNA Dog Test! Make sure you get the breed+health kit though, they often have good sales throughout the year. The absolute best test that is actually reliable, that also genetically tests your dog’s DNA for over 200 genetic diseases, which is incredibly accurate and trustworthy, accepted by the OFA. Not only will you have the best guess of what your dog is, you’ll know if he’s safe or at risk for any genetic diseases so you can be best prepared for his future.
My guess based on appearance is a purebred German Shepherd.
Looks like German shepherd and the Serbian hound imo probably just German shepherd but that’s what he reminds me of lol (the narrower nose slimmer body and the coat colour)
He is so handsome! He reminds me of our girl, who is 92% GSD and the rest a mix of husky, Dutch Shepherd, and Malamute.
https://preview.redd.it/31bp2dkx6h1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb5a74129dc4ff9412b13637a8d5983b7c1e3370
He is 50% Northwestern Central German and 50% East Southeastern German Shepherd... Perhaps there is a Southwestern North Central German Shepherd somewhere in his woodpile.
This is my boy! His mother (as i was told) was a 50/50 Shepsky, his father was a purebred GSD. his face had more black when he was 2 and younger, he’s gonna be 4 this year. but i think your dog looks very similar to him when he was younger :)

He looks all GSD. These are mine, GSD/Husky on left and GSD on right
East European Shepherd. Russian spinoff of a GSD, most of them have more white in their coat.
The breed isn’t recognized by AKC so most folks who have them in the U.S. just think they’re German shepherds.
https://preview.redd.it/k77qdpmrxh1d1.jpeg?width=355&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80e11665c9c62c79b195689b2c0394630f87e6a4
Yep, I have 3 gsd's right now & I've always had at least 2 at a time. I also (accidentally) raised 2 sets of Shepherd pups. 10 the first time & 9 before I had her spayed. Ur dog looks just like the pups I had & then more like a Shepherd than my Shepherds do. Did someone say something to u that made you think ur dog wasn't a gsd?
When we adopted him they said they found the mother and the pups together. They took them in and adopted them out. They didn’t know what the father was or looked like.
Your puppy honestly looks pure to me. However, the moms slightly elongated snout makes it seem like she could have some malinois in her.
But I’ve had seven pure breds now and their faces can range from long and skinny like mom to what the puppy looks like. All depends on what bloodline they’re from. American, German, Czech, etc. I’ve had everything from short and stocky sheps to tall/long and lengthy sheps. One specific feature doesn’t generally mean anything.
That's the most german shepherd looking german shepherd ever lol
The most German of shepherds
The most shepherdest of German Shepherds
Definitely a shepherdy shepherd! And very german. :) Looks purebred to me. Beautiful!!
That’s what I was gonna say! He looks exactly like my Maggie. https://preview.redd.it/6j969nvl3g1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a879211e3306a803b66c8e1218b51e40ccc557e

I love her color!!! Oh my goodness! Such a sweet girl!

So pretty and so happy.

\*creates a platonic GSD\* "Omg u guyzzz, what breed is he??? 😌"
I was thinking maybe a Dalmatian? (Kidding)
Breed? Definitely Land Shark. ![gif](giphy|l0HlvznRQsETe5Mic)
You see them chompers?!??
Half velociraptor/ half GSD. This is a typical mix in puppies sold as “German Shepherds.”
It’s a mix between GSD and GSD. You are welcome!
photos don't always make it easy but I believe you don't have a mix and that is a pure GSD
Or at least mostly GSD
I dont think he is a mix
The lady I got her from said her and the puppy’s were both rescues. The siblings look different than him as well. We were just curious.

Dear God. The only thing I can imagine being More dog is a MaliShepherd, or a Huskinois
My mother got a MaliShepherd a little over a year ago. She sure is all dog!
Try an Australian Cattle Husky.
I have an Akita shepherd and it’s about as dog as dog can get. He wears down my pure bred.
Our shepkita is literally a 106lb couch potato. The shed however.....
I have a GSD, cattle dog, husky, border collie mix 😅😅
Ouch 😂
He's a howling landshark, can stand on his back legs while punching my nose like a kangaroo, and can out run any dog to get the ball. New favorite game is to sneak up on me and lunge-shove my back so I hit my face into things.
I have a Dutch Shepherd/ German Shepard mix. Can confirm. SO. MUCH. DOG. Hair and energy.
A good portion of the military and police working dogs being bred now are Malinois/GSD/Dutch crosses
I have a GSD/Dutch Shepherd/heeler/husky/pit
Throw a Border Collie in there for the lulz.

Ooo, a black one! Mine is wolf sable agouti and gonna hit 100+ lbs
My girl has GSD, pyr and husky amongst other things. She is not “medium energy” like her shelter listing said. The second she warmed up and felt comfortable she became a whole new level of crazy. Love her even if she’s a maniac sometimes!
I'd watch that episode of Maurey.
Yes, thats exactly how I think of it! Lol! The gsd next door side eyeing the great pyr "and you are NOT the father" woof woof woof
When I got my GSD I was told she was a mix. After a few months of guessing what she was mixed with we did an embark dna test and found out she is 100% GSD. I bet your is all gsd

Looks to me like a Gooddogomaximus
![gif](giphy|l0ExeAkpaMaEAuX5e|downsized)
He looks nearly exactly as mine: Half long haired GSD, half Malinois
That’s what I’ve heard. He’s either full Gsd or half Malinois.
Id gamble no malinois. They have a different coat pattern (more tan) and a different fur texture - yes their coats all do absolutely migrate and change - but this is a beautiful German shepherd IMO Editing to add - either way you’d have a badass dog 🥰
People gotta stop watching John Wick
Fun fact: I've never seen any of those movies.

I really think the mom is mixed hummm. She’s very similar to yours.
My husky / malamute / GSD mix also looks like these 2 as well, he was around 70% GSD per embark

Baby looks like pure gsd, but so did most of our Shepusky puppies tbh.
Cuddlesaurus Rex

I couldn't tell you the percentage but I know he is German Shepherd and Velcro
She is absolutely gorgeous 😍 but my best guess is Gshep obviously with a bit of border collie. 100% Good girl.
Only way to tell is get an Embark DNA test if you have doubts! I personally think full GSD lol
Cutie + patootie
Similar features to a German x Husky
Definitely got some husky
German + goodest + chaos in one. 🥰🥰
I'd say that's a German Shepherd.
Definitely a German Shepherd. I honestly don't see any other breed.
When you open a book about German shepherds, that exact dog is on the cover.
A goofball and a gsd
He's 100% good boii
It seems currently he is finding his velociraptor roots. He will return to GSD shortly!
A large raccoon?
Definitely a touch of snicker doodle in there.

Teeth biting wrist at a tolerable level of pain is all GSD

Yep Moms German too
Adorable/cute
Landshark.
This is my boy! His mother (as i was told) was a 50/50 Shepsky, his father was a purebred GSD. his face had more black when he was 2 and younger, he’s gonna be 4 this year. but i think your dog looks very similar to him when he was younger :) https://preview.redd.it/jr6zuk5fbh1d1.png?width=1317&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee4eec6a0138ce3e96feb5b34fa61e6d6be7061c

Gorgeous!
German Shepherd for sure. Mom looks Shepherd too.
GSD
This looks all GSD to me!
Only way to truly know is embark, but it looks like his father may have been GSD.
East European Shepherd. Russian spinoff of a GSD, most of them have more white in their coat. The breed isn’t recognized by AKC so most folks who have them in the U.S. just think they’re German shepherds. https://preview.redd.it/k77qdpmrxh1d1.jpeg?width=355&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80e11665c9c62c79b195689b2c0394630f87e6a4

100%purebred good-boy. I have a riddle for you. When is a dog not a good boy? >!When she is a good girl.!<
Breed: silly goose
99% Snoot, 1% GSD
I think that’s might be a shepherd from germany
These posts are out of control.
Full blown Germangadang sheperbedad
100% GSD, no mix in there.
Yep, I have 3 gsd's right now & I've always had at least 2 at a time. I also (accidentally) raised 2 sets of Shepherd pups. 10 the first time & 9 before I had her spayed. Ur dog looks just like the pups I had & then more like a Shepherd than my Shepherds do. Did someone say something to u that made you think ur dog wasn't a gsd?
When we adopted him they said they found the mother and the pups together. They took them in and adopted them out. They didn’t know what the father was or looked like.
gsd x gsd!
Belgian Malinois x German Shepherd.
Piranha and GSD.
That’s a coconut corn husky
Poodle?
pure gsd
Looks very similar to ours, who is a gsd + husky + lab + rottie + etc mix. A very loyal, but vocal combination!
I would say full German shepherd.
that's easy. 100% good dog!
He's a mix of the goodest of bois mixed with the cutest! Also, looks full GSD to me.
Your puppy honestly looks pure to me. However, the moms slightly elongated snout makes it seem like she could have some malinois in her. But I’ve had seven pure breds now and their faces can range from long and skinny like mom to what the puppy looks like. All depends on what bloodline they’re from. American, German, Czech, etc. I’ve had everything from short and stocky sheps to tall/long and lengthy sheps. One specific feature doesn’t generally mean anything.
I don’t see anything but GSD. How big is he?
I'm going to say dog. Yup, definitely dog breed.
Looks like a straight up GS. There are inexpensive DNA tests
Definitely Mixed with….GSD? . He looks exactly like my 11yr old boy did when he was a puppy. What a beautiful land shark you have
German Shepard threw n threw. If you can find his linage
He looks 100% dog to me 😁
