I thought she looked pretty perky myself! One person just stated she was a part mutt lab. I am trying to figure out how a Germany Police German Shepard Male and a pure bred almost black / thin female produced a mutt lab that to me looks like a german shepard? People have this notion that if the DOG didn't cost allot of money then it must be a mutt, to me those are the fools that buy runts at the pet shop for $700 and get a "FAKE" paper. If I had said I paid $4,000 for DOG, I doubt she had been called a mutt, at the least she is my mutt! I use to coon hunt many, many years ago and my dad and I had some really high powered coon hounds with long records or being purebred stock and was offered $10,000 for a 6 month old pup that was running and treeing its own coons and I have never paid for a dog and never sold a dog.
