Dutch Shepherd Forum

New to the forum. I'm pretty sure our rescue dog, Parker is a dutch shepherd but wanted to get some opinions. She is 5 years old now and weighs about 65lbs.

can I just say how much I L-O-V-E that second picture?!?!?!!

I'll let the experts comment on your original question...I just had to get that out of the way, lol.

the second picture is so precious !!!!!!

Awesome pictures! We also have an all brindle household - complete with Dutch and Frenchies!

Your dog is definitely a shepherd mix of some sort. Parker could be a Dutch mix. He could also be a GSD or malinois mixed with something brindle. Either way, he looks goreous and like he is a lucky boy to have found a place with you. Just make sure the Frenchie is easy on him Ours boss the Dutch Shepherds around like crazy!

Thanks all. Yeah the two of them can be a handful.

The head shot doesn't look completely Dutch, but in the other shots, I can see it. I'm going to agree with Christie and say there's at least shepherd in there whether it's malinois, GSD, or DS isn't easy to tell from those pictures.

What's with the French Bulldog/DS thing though? I've met a ton of DS owners with the little brindle guys as well and I think it's hilarious seeing them together. I used to groom a little brindle Frenchie with white on his chest and used to take before and after pictures of him and Odin in the same bandanna and pose and tell my husband Odin fell into the garbage compactor.

We got our Frenchies when a friend decided to downsize her household and asked us to foster until we could find a good home for them. The were here about 2 days when we decided they weren't going anywhere. Since then, we have lost one - got his grand daughter and had a changing of the guard with the DS too. Something about their contrasting personalities makes them perfect housemates.

This is Miles - agility superstar, with Willow - bitework superstar.
This was at Camp Dogwood there in the Chicago area, waiting for their turn on the agility truck.

omg, what a great photo - and so hilarious as a matching pair in a strange sort of way.

Willow looks stunning and looks like an amazing dog. Edit: i know that that is the case, but i find it extraordinary how the camera can capture that and scream it to the viewer.
