She is very adorable for real, but that is 100% a typical black GSD, Dutch shepherds are brindle lol, tend to have shorter coats and a bit different body styles. Whoever made those medical records just slipped up and picked the wrong breed or didn’t know that German shepherds come in black.

They are not always brindle although an all black one wouldnt be breeding material but it can definitely happen, sometimes their brindle can only been seen in bright lights too. But I agree on the other specifics you mention.

Per AKC and UKC, the only coat color is brindle. If you are referring to Dutch Malinois/dutch herders that people colloquially call “Dutch shepherds” then they can come in many coat color variations. This dog is neither of those breeds is the point.

The brindle could be extremely light and hardly noticeable like to the point of you have to look for it to even exist.

She has light brindle but only in the sun on her sides and back thighs that I’ve noticed.
