Does my boy have Dutch in him?

Post by alb1 »

I was wondering if Bentley has Dutch in him. We got him from the Humane Society when he was a pup. He is very athletic. He clacks like a Belgian Malinois. He sheds all the time. He is intelligent and trains easily but is neurotic. He is a soft dog when it comes to training. He is attached to me in our family but lets me know that sometimes he just prefers to be shut up in his crate. He has a cast and e collar in some of the pictures due to escaping from a boarding facility this past summer and injuring his leg while hiding out near the facility for 5 days. He was seen several times during his time on the loose but would run from the strangers. He is all healed up now.

Tell us about yourself: Rescued a dumped DS puppy from the freeway and found his littermate in a nearby shelter two weeks later.

How big is he? His face looks somewhat like a great Dane to me.

He is about 60 lbs. He is not short haired like a bully breed, great dane, or boxer.
An Atlanta police officer working traffic told me he looked like a dog he used to have when he was an officer in South Africa, but I didn't get to ask him if he meant just coat color or breed.
