Is this baby a DS mix?

HI all-
I am a working dog enthusiast (owned by dobermann and GSDs) and also run a dog rescue. This 2 year old girl came in to our rescue at the end of July and she is a gem. Definitely acts like a working dog! Some people think she is a Dutch Shepherd mix, while others say she's not - just wondering what the experts think. :) I have only met a few Dutch Shepherds in all my years of working with dogs, so I am certainly not qualified to make that call!

She stands about 26" tall and is about 55 pounds - needs toning but we haven't had her long enough to do much exercise-wise, and she just weaned pups about 2 weeks ago. She was very thin when she came to us but has gained weight nicely, I look forward to see how she will look when she is toned up.

I appreciate your insight, will not be upset if she is not a dutch shepherd mix, just curious what you guys think. :)

Oops - sorry I need to brush up on my reading skills! Didn't even see this subforum. :P Here are some more pics of her

Personally I lean toward plott/shepherd/something else ... her pups all looked like lab/hound mixes, 7 cream, 2 chocolate, not a single brindle in the bunch. All had bright blue eyes too!

Her chest looks way too wide for a DSD. Her stance is kind of bully ish. Her head looks very GSD, though
