Please learn proper English before you attempt to post a question on this forum.
If you couldn’t trust the person that gave you the puppy, you shouldn’t have taken a puppy from them.

if it was pure it should have come with some kind of papers identifying it as a pure breed and saying that this person was a certified breeder. if you didn’t get that then theres really no telling what you got.

No genuine breeder would GIVE you a puppy.
In India, genuine breeders are EXTREMELY profit-orientated, so a well-bred pup would have cost you thousands of rupees (I don’t have an on-line converter to tell me what the rupee equivalent of my $s would be, but it would be more than India’s cheapest micro car, the one costing about $2500, the development of which a friend in Mumbai was involved in). Most of them import their breeding stock from Germany, or at least breed from stock that has 2 born-in-Germany parents. With the exception of the Mumbai chap (who doesn’t breed GSDs), the Indian breeders I have e-mailed are VERY rude, ignoring requests that don’t bring in money.
The term pure-breed means very little. It USED to mean “Both parents are registered with the Kennel Club, but the breeder didn’t want this one shown or bred from so refused to register it”. But greedy BYBers and over-enthusiastic volunteers in rescue groups and SPCA shelters have degraded it to mean just “I think it looks a bit like a ThatBreed”. (A friend who fosters GSDs for our SPCA was sent a pup that looks reMARKably like a Dachshund….)
If your pup has registration with the KCI, it IS a pure-bred. It might not be of very good quality, but it IS a pure-bred.
If your pup DOESN’T have KCI registration then it might still be a pure-bred, but it probably isn’t.
If you received a pedigree with your pup, you can estimate its quality by joining the group below then looking in its Files => Choosing_a_GSD.doc to see how its pedigree measures up – what is listed, what is missing. (I hope that hip and elbow certificates are NOT missing!) And to find out what the abbreviations with the names of the listed ancestors mean, you can then look in that group’s Database => Alphabet_Soup.
• Add http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_GSD_Source to your browser’s Bookmarks or Favorites so that you can easily look up such as feeding, vaccinations, worming, clubs, weights, teething, neutering, disorders, genetics. Most of its public sections apply to any breed.
Then look in its Links => Kennel_Clubs => India section to connect to the KCI.
Then look in its Links => GSD_Clubs => India section to connect to the GSDCI.
And learn that our breed’s real name translates into English as German Shepherd Dog – 3 words, each with a capital letter, and so GSD for short.
I hope you are booked in to a weekly training club class that will start when Pup becomes 18-22 weeks old, so that YOU get coached on how to become an effective trainer.
• To ask about GSDs, join some of the 400+ YahooGroups dedicated to various aspects of living with them. Each group’s Home page tells you which aspects they like to discuss, and how active they are. Unlike YA, they are set up so that you can have an ongoing discussion with follow-up questions for clarification. Most allow you to include photos in your messages.

Hello,
There is a World Association of German Sherperd Dog associations.
Here is the indian contact: http://www.wusv.de/site/index.php?id=1167&L=%20ONFOCUS%20%20BLURLink%20this
You can ask if there is an association near your homeplace and you can get information about
breeder standards, papers of origin “reed papers” and training how to work with the dog.
Good luck!
