Hi all, I have what I suspect to be a Dutch shepherd called bruce, I've always wondered what breed he was exactly. We got him from a rescue center when he was about 18 months old and he's been an awesome, friendly and most intelligent dog weve have ever had. I'd be interested to know what you guys think as to his breed. Below is a link to a video.

- Tell us about yourself: Previously had a DutchXMal and knew at that moment, they were the best dogs ever. Unfortunately, I lost her in an accident as a pup @9mo., but I was sold on the dutchies. I cant imagine having another breed, they are the total package dogs.
Got my boy FURY from Vrijheid. He was born 4/23/16 and i picked him up 6/29. Working on basics(OB, manners, etc), some NW and figuring out what we want to focus on for the future work.
Re: Tim n bruce

Re: Tim n bruce
Thanks for your opinions, yes he's a very happly boy 
I'm tempted to try one of these genetic tests to find out what breed or more likely breeds are in there. Anyone ever tried those?

Re: Tim n bruce
The Dutch Shepherd is not in any of the genetic databases, but you may get some clarity on the dog's breed.
