The dog also probably has barrier aggression issues, especially if kept behind a fence or on a line. GSDs are prone to it since they are so in tune with perimeters and borders as a concept.

White shepherds vary A LOT in size, coat quality, and conformation because of the many ways they are bred and registered. She could be a pure (not very well bred) GSD but I could possibly see a bit of sighthound in there if she is a mix. Her temperament would be a better indication of heritage imo. I see no husky in her though Captain Foxy is right that it is a super common cross.

She is skinny and in that awkward gangly teenage shepherd stage. It usually lasts until 3 or so. If she stays that thin and doesn't seem to want to put weight on, get her a TLI test to check for EPI. It is incredibly common in GSD's and moreso in whites (in my personal experience) because of lovely color breeding and a very narrow gene pool.

White shepherds :can:
