Hi all,
We rescued this 10 week old girl from a shelter in Venice, CA. They guessed at her being a GSD / Pit but someone stopped us at a park and said she might be a DS. She's pretty calm for a puppy so far but certainly has her crazy moments
Unfortunately we don't think we could handle a dutchie's energy, as much as we love her.

Re: Our puppy Pharah!
Welcome to the forum
Looking at the snout, ears, and tail on Pharah, I think the initial thought of GSD/Pit may be more accurate than any DS. Of course, there's other brindle breeds that me be the source of the coloring.
I know your waiting for DNA results, so you'll have maybe a clearer picture soon.
How long have you had Pharah? I know you said crazy at times, but that sounds like all pups. What kind of crazy?

Yes, a DS has been described as a GSD on crack or a Velociraptor, but I caution you that a GSD can be challenging as well.thesecession wrote: βSun Jan 07, 2018 12:00 am Unfortunately we don't think we could handle a dutchie's energy, as much as we love her.

Re: Our puppy Pharah!
Thanks for the advice!
We've had her for a week now. We were looking for a medium energy breed to better suit our lifestyle but she fell into our lap while a friend was fostering her. A stranger we met was convinced she was a dutchie but now we're not worried about it. She seems like a normal pup energy wise
