do you have a picture of Lucy standing up and Jade has german shepherd in her some were in the line

Why is it that people see a fawn colored dog with a black mask and think it is a German Shepherd? Shepherds don't even come in that color.

Incidentally, this is not a German Shepherd (though it bears a strong resemblance to Jade) :

that is a Belgian Malinois and yes they do

Rephrase - they are not supposed to, and it's very unusual. Kind of like hearing hoofbeats, and thinking "zebra."

and not to mention the faint black line going down her spine

Are you saying she has a nose, and a tail, and so does a Shepherd, therefore they are the same breed?

The Malinois is supposed to have black ticking all over its coat, it isn't meant to be a clear, pure fawn with no dark hairs anywhere else on its body besides the muzzle. If your marks on the pictures are supposed to indicate markings on the coat, you can see the same markings on the Malinois in the pic I posted. But forget the markings for a minute - look at the texture of the coat. It is a shade shorter and harder on the Malinois than it is on the Shepherd, and that is also true of Jade. The Malinois is supposed to be square and level in conformation; the Shepherd has a slightly uphill build (that's not just posing, they really stand and move like that). Look at Jade's back - if anything, her hips appear higher than her shoulders, rather than the other way around.

Here's a light one (but notice the dark tail and shading on the body):


This one is much darker, so dark you can barely see the facial markings:

as i said i'm not always right but close Belgian Malinios is closely related to the German Shepherd

Mals aren't that closely related to GSDs. rather like saying a collie is related to a GSD.
