Dutch Shepherd?

Post by IlovemyGS »

Hey guys! My dog is recently adopted and a year old, 56lbs, has the GS fur, tail, but is he a dutch shepherd or a dutch shepherd mix? Some people have asked me if he is an akita mix but I am not sure.

Tell us about yourself: I'm Keith, 28 years old born and raised outside Chicago. I adopted Duke, the Dutch Shepherd from a Chicago foster based rescue. Duke had an unfortunate first 2 months of his upbringing but he's been a prince around here ever since.

Healthy, happy, energetic, and super social.

I've seen the white toes on brindle Akitas more often than not.
