Tell us about yourself: I am 23 years old and we adopted our dog Bella at 7 months old.

Bella was abandoned at 7 weeks in Lincolnshire and then kindly adopted by a single mother. After the owner found full time work and little time for Bella, she put her up for adoption where we fell for her in an instant.

We have always been unsure about Bella's breed but she has a remarkable resemblance to a dutch shepherd - this is why I am on this site.

Could Bella be a Dutchie?

Bella is 14 months old, female and not yet been spayed.

paw to neck, bella is 19 inches tall - to head she is 23 inches
She is 24 inches long and weighs 16kg

Bella was abandoned in North Lincolnshire in UK

She is very easy to train. She doesn't stray far from us when she is off her lead and can sometimes get anxious when she cannot see me and my partner.
Bella is a very sociable dog with all dogs and kids, it is quite eye-opening how she gets on with kids in all fairness.

She gets her daily cuddle from half of the community as everybody loves her

Bella has an abnormal jaw (her bottom jaw is longer than the top) however we believe this is the reason she was abandoned at 7 weeks old.

If somebody could help determine her breed we would be utterly grateful

Almost forgot, Bella loves to chase a ball or a stick
She gets quite excited when a stranger comes into the house but is always comfortable with people.
