Dutch Shepherd Forum

I have maybe a Dutch, Im not to sure but he sure does look like one, I adopted him from a rescue shelter, never saw his mother or father, they said he was 7 weeks, but after taking him home both me and the vet agreed he might be 5 - 6 weeks.

Well fast forward to now, he is around 10 months old, and he weighs 45 pounds (is that a normal weight for a Dutch at that age?)

Im putting old and new pictures up, the newer ones are the one in the yard with him on a pink lease (dont ask lol).

I tried to attach them but I didnt feel like resizing them all, so heres the link to the image shack album.

Welcome Jbrow. Would you be kind enough to introduce yourself in the intro section elsewhere on this board?

Stay away from that link...I got a fake "you've got a virus" message in trying to navigate away from it...hate those...

Handsome guy. In that photo where he is looking away he sure looks like the right body/shape/etc...

With all the extra white (chest/feet) I think there is something else in the genetic pool.

Its the white paws that give away that there is something else there. He is very handsome and has the DS looks.

good looking dog. my puppy have the same white in her legs and i think they are DS mix with something.

Thanks for the information, Ill be sure to post in the intro section ASAP, what else could he be mixed with?

I thought some DS's could have white in their gene pool, I know to much white is frowned upon but of course I may be wrong, so any ideas? I know he has the (dont know what its called) but sort of the extra hair on his hind legs and such.

Nice looking dog!
The extra butt-hair is called feathering. But many dog breeds have this :dswink"

The head looks a little heavier (referring to the stop) than a DS should, yet I have seen many that do resemble that. A few white toes happen, but white feet/socks don't. I suspect that your pup may have Akita in the mix, or bully breeds from boxers to pit bulls.
