Tyler's tail has a curl to it, but not that severe. And I know he's a purebred GSD. His full brother, Theo has an even thicker than normal coat and doesn't have the standard GSD body.....he's a bit different in many aspects. Supposedly their parents were both show dogs, altho I fostered the bitch and she didn't look low enough in the back or "perfect" enough to do well in the show ring. I never saw the dad, but someone in the rescue WAS familiar with him. So decent blood lines on both parents and still not so perfect pups, structurally. The blue eyes are sure not common in GSD's if they actually DO happen. I'm not an expert tho.
I guess I have to agree....I've had some absolutely wonderful mixed breed dogs. As long as the pup is a good fit for the family, who cares? Unless of course you spent a small fortune on what you thot was a purebred, and I can't say he isn't, even with the white on his chest, he might just not be a "good" pup, or true enough to standard to show.
