Although I think the problem could also be attributed to the fact that the GSD is one of most wolf-like looking dogs there is.

Honestly people have said she is scary looking because she is a black german shepherd. Most people here I guess have never seen a black german shepherd before. I have even had people cross the street to avoid her when I take her for walks. She does look like a wolf but she is a sweetheart.
