Spring certainly looks like he could be a purebred German Shepherd. He's a very handsome boy! If his breeder did not have any paperwork to prove that he is purebred, then the only way to find out for sure would be to have a DNA test done. This can be done from a cheek swab, or from a blood sample taken by your vet. You can take a look at this website for more information, if this is something you're interested in: www.wisdompanel.com Spring is very handsome and looks quite loveable, regardless of his parentage :)

From the pictures, he definitely looks a lot like a pure bred German Shepherd. Of course I cannot say for sure as I do not know who his parents are. You could send off a DNA test if you needed some type of proof. He is so handsome!!

From the little I can see of the dog, I would highly doubt that he is a purebred German Shepherd Dog. His earset is much higher than a GSD's . . . more like a Siberian's. Also, his coat is very shaggy and his head is all wrong for a GSD. That said, he may be a very, very poor specimen of the breed, although I doubt it. To be certain, DNA testing can be done to determine exactly what he is.
