The ears and face look a lot more like a cattle dog than a German shepherd. The body, longer legs, and coloration seem more like a fox hound or some other long-legged hound breed.

She looks like she may be part German Shepherd. In_The_Wind Mar 2013 #2

i think so too La Lioness Priyanka Mar 2013 #3

She also looks very sweet! In_The_Wind Mar 2013 #4

she is. somewhat shy and submissive and plenty affectionate La Lioness Priyanka Mar 2013 #5

As she gets older, with your love, she will outgrow some of the submissive behavior. In_The_Wind Mar 2013 #7

I was thinking that the markings on her face look like our hedgehog Mar 2013 #20

Tweed. Sounds nice. In_The_Wind Mar 2013 #33

I agree... Wounded Bear Mar 2013 #8

That would be my guess too... Callmecrazy Mar 2013 #13

I don't see any pit in her. Long muzzle, Shepherd ears, large eyes, not particularly wide Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #18
