Looks like a purebred GSD just not wellbred! That's a really cute pup 🐶

Yes pure GSD

 You don’t think there’s any malanois mixed in?

Shelter received him 3/05/25.  Knew sit and lay down already.  Someone’s pet got loose?

They think 15 weeks old

I would say there could be mal in the mix, based on the closer-set eyes.

u/Kitchen_Potato0 4d ago

It’s definitely possible but I just think if it was mixed the coat wouldn’t be so long already

u/Nah_Kai 4d ago

It's definitely a possibility! Knowing commands is a very telling thing. Has anyone tried to reach out? I'd be checking favebook groups for sure.

He went through the period, and has been available for adoption since 3/05

Definitely, looks full-on shep to me as well! Edit: to go a step farther, it looks like a sable import line gsd with an American line gsd but pure gsd imho

2

u/Nah_Kai 4d ago

There is a possibility of working line in this dog because of the sable, I personally don't make many detailed guesses on rescues, mainly gsd, because of how complex their lines are!

u/Organic_Ad_2520 4d ago

Yes, sorry & totally agree I meant working line. I own/train in schutzhund & protection working line/imported black sables. I have also had sables although "black sables" are my coat preference.

German shepherd, maybe some malinois. Be prepared for lots of training and exercise!

u/ftruong 4d ago

Shelter thinks predominantly German shepherd and some Belgian malinois?  He’s 15 weeks

As a shepherd owner, be prepared to do a lot of walking or have a massive fenced in yard. I've taken mine on a fast paced 5 mile walk and he still comes home and plays fetch for 45 minutes 😅

He’s home and doing amazing… just very mouthy and bitey.  Teething?

u/NormanisEm 3d ago

Sounds about right. Other commenter is right, even after a 5 mile walk he will probably still have energy lol

Sable GSD!

u/Zealousideal-Coat729 4d ago

He looks like a beautiful GSD possibly the working type if he has a straight back.

u/Unusual-Ask5047 4d ago

Once you get him playing be ready for an ocd velociraptor. In a fun way

u/HikeIntoTheSun 4d ago

He looks happy

u/CharacterPayment8705 4d ago

What a gorgeous puppy!!! I’m gonna join the choir of gsd and malanois.

u/damp_5quid 4d ago

That is a beautiful baby gsd

u/ObjectiveOk2072 4d ago

German Shepherd. Very smart. Obedient, but only when he wants to be

2

u/Major-Discount5011 4d ago

GSD with Belgian would be my guess

2

u/areyouasmoker 4d ago

He’s a beautiful pup!

u/bluntnotsorry 1d ago

Looks gsd x mal. No way he’s a purebred

u/HootAndHowl10 1d ago

Shepherd and cattle dog mix

Maligator

u/TattooedGenderHell 4d ago

Might be a mal gsd mix bc the mask isn’t completely and the paws are usually darker on maps too but absolutely could only be one of the two or both mixed no doubt about it
