Tell us about yourself: My fiance and I have just recently adopted a gorgeous 2-year-old called Molly. She's only been with us four weeks and already we can't imagine life without her. We also have a fat fluffy cat called Honey, and the two of them are getting on famously.
I joined the forum today because my fiance and I recently rescued a beautiful 2-year-old brindle girl called Molly. We were told that she might be some kind of German Shepherd/whippet cross, but a few days ago a friend suggested she might be a Dutch Shepherd. Having done some research, we discovered that she has a lot of similar traits and characteristics, but we're really curious to see what the experts think! I've attached some pics... just look at that gorgeous face
PS she weight about 20kilos and is 22 inches in height.

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobakawww.dogster.com/dogs/637612
i think Molly may be what would be called a lurcher in Britain - a sighthound/shepherd mix. given her size, i would guess whippet mixed with a collie or other typical European shepherd like German, Belgian, or Dutch. word means ''thief'' and they were bred by commoners when it was illegal for them to own greyhounds, etcetera - usually for the purpose of poaching. they tend to be mindbogglingly clever and goofy dogs that have immense appeal, often combining very unusual intelligence with great speed and agility. a good lurcher seems to know he is ''stealing'' and will stealthily case the scene of the crime and make sure he is not being observed before quickly darting in to execute the plan and then running like hell to avoid being found-out. so funny and endearing for these qualities. there are DS owners here who can probably relate to these personality traits.
