He's 5, soon to be 6 years old and about 85-95lbs. He was a rescue from New Hampshire. He seems to have a wider head than most Dutch shepherds I've seen online. I have not seen another Dutch shepherd in person.

Re: Is my dog full Dutch shepherd?
He can be very high energy, loves to run and play with his toys. He needs tons of attention! He likes his quiet time too. He can be very protective of my family members or myself, but generally he is pretty good with people and other dogs

More expert opinions will probably come, but the body shape, shape of the head, and those ears make me think the brindle is coming from a pit bull mix.
It sounds like you have a great dog one way or another

His ears used to stand up like shepherd ears but they kept creating pockets and filling up with blood, so they are kind of floppy from scar tissue.

I would agree with a pitbull mix
