Guessing the mix in this girl.....

I'm new to these types of breeds and am just curious if you all as the experts, could take your best guess as to what I have here. She was from a shelter and listed as "mostly boxer". Quite a few passers-by (not necessarily dog people) have asked me if she is a pittbull.
She does have the undershot jaw......... There are some pics in the gallery. Thanks for comments!

Very hard to know. She certainly isn't a full boxer (I wouldn't personally bet much money on her necessarily being even part boxer - she's brindle and she has an undershot jaw, but that could come from several other breeds as easily as from a boxer). If I had to make a wild guess, I would speculate that she looks a little as though she may be some sort of shepherd mix (possibly GSD).

She is a very cute puppy, whatever the answer to her heritage may be. If you really want to know, it is possible to have her DNA profiled (its not that expensive).

She's a cutiepie alright! Hard to tell from here as well. The eyes have a shape to them like a pitbull, but it may not show til she is older and loses some of that puppy pudge.

I did the DNA on both my rescues and it was fun finding out.

Sorry - German Shepherd Dog. They're commonly referred to as GSDs.

To me she looks like she has pitbull in her......alot of pitbull and very little boxer. I am not surprised that the shelter said boxer instead of pitbull because of their reputation. But I have known many a wonderful and sweet pitbull. They are wonderful family pets and great dogs all around. She is very cute and I wish you many happy healthy years with her.
