I only say GSD because of the coloring and basic shape, which is most distinctly from GSD type breeds. That light trace marking of black-ticked fur on her back and taila s well as the general shape of the ears are GSD-like qualities that are definitely 'dulled down' over the generations. I'd guess if there's GSD in her, it's far back but a few traces still show up. There are plenty of mixes out there that look nothing like their genetic parents, but when you see certain qualities that are common to certain 'common' breeds, it can usually be safe to assume that breed is in there somewhere, though maybe quite far back in the gene pool. Especially with a dog that shows no distint dominant breed such as this one. [
