My mixed dog has German Shepherd markings. What's her true breed?

Question

We were told when we got my dog that she was a boxer-lab mix but she has the exact markings of a german shepherd. Her mother is a black lab mix of some kind. Could it be that Mocha’s mom is a german-shepherd and black lab mix and the markings skipped a generation? Or is it just a coincidence?

Yes, it is possible Mocha's mother could have had some German Shepherd in her genes. It is also possible that the father was a German Shepherd if you did not actually see him. If you want to know for sure, you can do a DNA test. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/wisdom-panel-30-breed-identification-dog-dna-test-kit
