Question Unanswered: help me figure out what my dog is?

Im a dog trainer but for the life of me canNOT figure out what my dog is. She is a little too small to be a German pinscher, but a little to big to be a Min Pin. She shows characteristics of both. Ive been telling people she is a german pinscher because its easiest. But it has really been bothering me and i just cannot figure it out. Any ideas???

What is the dogs height and weight and age. Do you have any colored photos.
Straight on head and muzzle shot preferably.
German Pinschers have a wedge shaped head, Miniature Pinscher do not.
Originally the Zwergpinscher was approx 14 to 15 inches and weighed approx 13 to 14 lbs. There are still many out there. I know, I have a few myself and they are purebred AKC registered. These are the true terrier version of the breed.
The Deutscherpinscher is in the area of 18 to 20 inches and can weigh in the area of 25 to 40lbs. I also have one of these.

here are a few pics of her... she just tured a year old in april..

she is about 16'' tall at the shoulders, and she weighs about 23 pounds, maybe a tad less than that.

Based on the pics, she is a Miniature Pinscher mix but not with a GP. I noticed the white on her hind foot. This trait is not found in either the Miniature Pinscher the GP. The white on the chest is a common occurrence in the MP though. Links back to one of the original color patterns in the MP, Harlequin like that found in the IG and Great Dane. Her head and mask ie: smile is that of an MP.

Hmm what about some rat terrier? My dog is a mini dachshund/rat terrier mix and I could see some of those qualities in your dog! Just a guess!
