What kind of dog has pointy ears, and small head, about 40 to 50lbs, looks similar to a German shepherd??

My neighbors have one and it's funny looking. I want one like it. Anybody know what kind it is? I don't think it's a mix, I have seen 6 of them in my neighborhood at 2 different neighbor's houses. I can't ask my neighbors, we don't get along well.
Answers:
Doberman Pinscher
IT COULD BE A BOXER OR A MIX OF OTHER DOGS
Maybe a Malinois.

Well a doberman looks nothing like a GSD and a miniature pincher is no where near 40 to 50 pounds neither are Dobes, they are heavier. If it is a dobe or a miniature pincher, You really do not know how to give a description.
Add more info on. What color is it? Does it have thick fur? Long or short fur? How tall is it? Do they look thin? So many dog breeds that can look like that.
Why not go to the American Kennel Club website? If it's a purebred dog, it will be there. And, you can learn all about the breed before you buy one to make sure it's the right choice for your lifestyle. Good luck to you!
Belgian Malinois. Oohhh... they are amazing. Smart, powerful, and agile. They are used by militaries throughout the world. Need to be well trained, but NOTHING is more scary than a well trained Malinois (or group, as they usually are done). They are amazing dogs... I suggest getting on your neighbor's good side, as a pack of these dogs might well be considered more formidable than any other pack of dogs.
maybe a Norwegian Elkhound mix.
Probably Belgiam Tervuren. There is another similar breed... or Belgian Malenois (Melon--wah).
I hope the picture is just an indicator, that can't be, it, those only weigh weigh 8-10 pounds, a far cry from the 40 to 50lbs you described.

Honestly, the easiest way is to get someone unknown to the neighbours to drop them a note in their post box, something like "I passed by your house the other day, and saw your dog. I seems just the type I am looking for, could you tell me what breed it is? Please email me at address@domain.com. Much appreciated, Johnathan/Joe/Peter" then get the info from them.
See what I mean?
I think maybe you're thinking of a keeshund? They are 50 lbs and have long gray hair with black tips. Absolutely adorable!
