Where did you get her from? Was it a breeder or a pet store? If the pup was kept in a small area that she slept in and pottied in then that is the problem. Puppies from pet stores are usually from puppy mills, the dogs are all kept in small containers. In pet stores they are also kept in a small area. There may be other problems. Are you free feeding her which means she can eat anytime she wants to. Same with water. She should get water (about 1/2 cup) right before she goes outside. She should go out about every three hours. Cut the water off in the evening around 9. She should eat three times a day morning, noon, and evening at around 6-7pm. Her color...well that is a different story. German shepherds are like suprise packages. They can look one way as a pup and completely different as a grown up. She might have more brown as an adult then now, she might not. Also what are you feeding her, and how much. She should be able to eat her food within about 15-20 minutes are you pick it up and try again later. (at her next feeding time) Also put a spoon of cottage cheese in one of her meals that will help her ears pirk up. If you have any more questions feel free to email me at any time.
Most of all Have fun!!!
