If the previous owner has no records then you need to take her to a vet for an exam. The vet can verify her breed for you. Also, if your apartment complex wants breed verification I'm assuming they want her to be up to date on vaccinations. Again, if you have no records then the vet can update the vaccines for you as well. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
