I would be surprised if the sire really was a German Shepherd based on the length of the coat length. I would really expect a longer coat on a mix between those two.
If the mother is known to be an Aussie, based off your location, my bet for the sire is Cataloua Leopard Dog (or possibly a mix with that being a dominant breed). The breed was developed down south (in Louisiana, I think) and is very common down there. If you google Aussie/Cataloua mixes he looks very similar. They're also pretty good escape artists so it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination that one got into the yard with the female in heat (I'm assuming she was left alone, outside while in heat if the owner was 'guessing' who the father was). His ears make me think maybe there's terrier in there as well.
At 8-9lbs at 9 weeks I would guess he'll be somewhere in the medium size range, maybe 35-45lbs?
