I just adopted this puppy from a rescue a couple weeks ago. She was found living at a dump in a native reserve at 6 weeks old. Within the past week she's changed a lot and aggression has been showing a lot. I just want make sure my 4 year old will be OK and safe. He had been attacked by our previous dog at age 2. Knowing what kind of breed she is might help us on how to train her. We can tell there is obviously German Shepherd, but we are thinking maybe Boxer as well, since she is brindle colour and has those "sad" eyes and long legs.

I agree with you about her breeding. To be sure you can have her dna evaluated by buying a kit at your local pet store. But it is really her behavior you need to focus on. You did not describe her agression so it is hard to comment. I would suggest you talk with a dog trainer about her behavior. With small children you really need to be sure.
She looks just like my dog when I got him at 8 weeks. He was a rescue from New Mexico, thinking from an Indian Reservation. He is now 5 years. I got a saliva test done way back, (I'd save my money in retrospect) and he was 1/3 staffordshire terrier, 1/3 Boston terrier, and 1/3 husky. I can send a current picture if you want a glimpse into the future.
He is sweet and great around children and babies...a big love bug.
Please don't have an aggressive dog around your child! Let a loving, single adult adopt him and save your child's life. The poor kid has already been attacked at age 2. Your child is more important than a dog.
