Re: Need help with identifying if a Dutch Shepherd
Wow. I think you win the award for the best pictures to ID from. I wish we could save this post for future members coming to ask if their dog looks like a DS.
I'd say your girl looks very DS to me, assuming height and weight are in the right ranges. The only things that look a little non-DS is the shorter smoother hair and the blocker head. I think only being a year old though, she still has time to develop and her coat might get a little longer. She looks very similar to Odin when he was that age. He's almost 4 now and has grown a beautiful coat on a good diet and his body finally caught up to his head.

Re: Need help with identifying if a Dutch Shepherd
Id second the excellent pictures to look at her. She is beautiful and Id have to say yes that she is DS. I agree on the blocky head though. The females I have seen are much more lady like than the males. But she is beautiful.
