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.

Re: Maybe A Dutch?
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.

Re: Maybe A Dutch?
Its the white paws that give away that there is something else there. He is very handsome and has the DS looks.

Re: Maybe A Dutch?
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.

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

Re: Maybe A Dutch?
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.
