I am by no means an expert but, I doubt these are purebred German Shepherds. The colouring doesn't seem right.
On the other hand, they are absolutely adorable puppies!!! Are you considering adopting one? If so, which one are you interested in? I'd be hard pressed to choose. They're all so cute!!! I'm rather partial to the one with the white chest...

They do have GSD in them, whether purebred, I do not think so. As for White, GSD's can be white.

I like the looks of the one with the white chest the best too! Are they all males? I would only want a male--What is the white-chested one? Do you have a name picked out yet?:mrgreen:

Is there some particular reason for your preference for males? I've always had girls except for the fosters who were temporary. Lance is the first male dog I've ever had.

I would not want to have to spay a female and also would not like the 'mess' if not spayed nor the worry about her getting pregnant. Besides all that--I think I would still prefer males even if the above wasn't any issue. I really don't know why!?

no way those are 100% GSD and they look rather unhealthy... are they in a shelter?

Thank you. It's very easy to just pick the cutest pup in the litter but just because it's the cutest doesn't mean it's the right pup for you.
