Bailey

More Shepherd Or Lab?

This question is mostly out of curiousity, but I do want to know a rough idea of how large my Shepherd/Lab will grow up to be. She is approximately 7 months old, and weighs almost 50 pounds.
I know her COLOURS look more German Shepherd, but I was mostly interested in her figure. I have more pictures on her page. Each pic is her when she's younger, except the last one, which was taken a few days ago. Please tell me if you think her size is more Shepherd or Lab, every answer is greatly appreciated!

To me she looks like a sable German Shepherd whose ears never came up. It happens pretty often, and such dogs are usually mistaken for Lab mixes or other mixes, not purebred shepherds. Some pure GSDs' ears don't come up until the dog is six months or older. Google "Sable German Shepherd" and you'll see what I mean. Her head shape is more Shep than Lab, and her ear set is too. Lab ears are larger, lower set, and hang straight down more than to the side like hers.

Looks more shepherd to me. 50 lbs at 7 months is a good size, I would guess 60-70 full grown. But you never know with a mix!

Her face is a shepherd face. My girl is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever/German Shepherd cross. Most people look at her and say her face looks more Shepherd. My girl is 75 pounds, so I would say Bailey would be around the 70 pound mark when fully grown.

Bailey - German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix. She looks more Shepherd to me.
