Wow, you didn't say that she was a white one. I had an amazing white GSD for 10 years until I lost him in an accident in 2000. He was a genius. It's a good thing that my present dog is healthy, because I am broke and I would have to rob a bank if he needed expensive treatment.
Best of luck, here is a picture of mine, slightly spoiled dog, about 10 years ago. (Please forgive the messy room, it's a great pic otherwise):
