LOL!!! That's a girl. Boy dog would have his penis a few inches up from 'that'...in the tummy area. While many matured male dogs eventually lift their legs to pee, some (especially when they were neutered at an early age) still squat. Some dominate female dogs lift their legs also. I guess Shar could be both boy and girl name...?

Thanks everyone! My poor husband NOW believes what I've been telling him for a little while now. He HATES being wrong...but sometimes I think he HATES me being right even more! He's so stubborn!

Well...we figured it was a little too late in the game to change her name...so she's still Gus! She's our little sweetheart!

OOOh...I hadn't thought of Augustine! Good one!

She's awesome! We love her so much...she's such a sweetie pie. We just need to work on her chasing the birds! But she's really good at patroling and 'guarding' so far.

im now a little concerned about this breeder, sarpies arnt a breed for just anyone to be breeding and id be a little concerned if the breeder didnt know the sex!?

but yup, DEFINATLY a girl...

in boys even if theres no testicles and its "not distinct" it would be much closer to a belly button than a "between the legs" lol.

Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
This thread actually shocks me and makes me wonder about the education system in this country...
I'm extremely worried about who the breeder was that they 'had no idea' or that they were able to con you into getting this dog. Makes me wonder about it's breeding and what breed it actually is.

This is a male dog. You will note it looks nothing like a female [what you have]. Same thing for human beings, except it flops down and isn't as tightly attached to the stomach. Females have just a triangle where the male has testicles, roughly.

I didn't want to say this before, because I would hate to offend anyone, but I have to agree with the previous 2 posters, this thread is quite shocking.
Without going too much into detail, like I said in my other post, the difference between male and female reproductive organs in dogs is huge.
Even from day 1, the moment a puppy is born it's obvious who's a male and who's a female.

I would understand if we were talking about cats and not dogs, since it can be difficult to distinguish between the genitals of male and female kittens if they are only a few days to weeks old.

But again as I said before, for dogs it's extremely easy. And as dogs grow older you can even distinguish their gender from afar, let alone when you're actually the owner/breeder and looking directly at the dog.
(And I have to repeat again that me explaining to OP how dogs mark in general wasn't me saying that it's an indicator of their gender, but it was merely me telling the OP what kind of marking behavior they can most likely expect from a female dog)
Also from the look at this breeder's website, this particular Sarplaninac breeder is breeding and showing some other breed as well. Which makes the whole thing even more odd.
Hopefully it was all some weird misunderstanding and not a case of immoral breeder.
