Dutch Shepherd Forum

We have reacently rescued a dog from Atlanta shelter and we believe she is a Dutch based on her attitude and ways of behavior but I figured the bead way to confirm is with y’all so I’m ganna attach pics and y’all tell me what you think ,,on side not Caydence acts similar to this bread when it comes to introducing the new puppy and we are trying to figure out how to handle it she is very calm and nice but extremely protective of her food and the family to where she freaks when the puppy is around but she is rather small for the breed I beleive she weighs about 40 pounds and she really intelligent.let me know what you guys thing

I see no physical similarities to the Dutch Shepherd.

First of all thank you for rescuing.

I have to agree, however, that there is no DS to be seen in the pictured dog.

I'm glad you adopted her. I would be very careful introducing her to the pup, she appears be a pretty powerful dog. We feed our dogs separately. We also make Bramble sit, and wait while I dish out the food and feed Peanuts. Only one he is settled in to eat in his kennel do I release her to eat (he is the older more dominant dog.) I would also get with a good trainer. It makes all the difference.
