On the contrary to what other people have posted I think she VERY much resembles a wolf hybrid. I've been around my boss's three hybrids (one is 60% and the other two 75%) as well as numerous others from a hybrid rescue that she works very close with. She definately has either GSD/Husky/Malamute in her because that is what they usually cross them with.
They can very much range in appearance depending on the percentage of wolf and what they are crossed with. Some can look alot like a normal GSD with some color differences and some can look very wolf-like. Tosha looks very wolflike to me, her posture, her fur length and how it lays, her body type, her long muzzle and larger ears (which makes me believe she is crossed with GSD)
You posted a pic of her whole body in the early thread
Her body is very much wolf-like, here is a pic of a hybrid with a little more weight on her...Do you see the similarity in the hind end, particularly the hip angles and the way they carry themselves? Tosha's coloring makes me thing she is even more of a percentage than this one.
In some states it is illegal to own a hybrid but since she was obtained from the pound I doubt that would come into play. Since she was wearing a collar, doing no harm, I think your friend has a strong case no matter what the judge thinks about her breed. You would have to get genetic testing done to prove it either way. I hope she wins, no body should take matters into their own hands like this. Call animal control don't shoot the dog...what an idiot.
