Dutch Shepherd Forum

Please take a look at this dog.






When we took him to the vet he told us that he appeared to be some part of Dutch Shepherd.
I've done a little research and I know that the ears are totally out of whack but his wedged shaped head, teeth, and other things make me wonder.

He's about 6 mos old and weights 46.5 lbs.

Since that initial visit to the vet, I've received many more opinions (everybody's got one) about his breed including:

1. Dutch Shepherd (vet's opinion)
2. Chesapeake Bay Retriever
3. Doberman Pinscher
4. Irish Wolfhound
5. Mastiff
6. Plott Hound

Anyone's opinion will make no difference in just how much we love this dog, we would just like to know how to answer when owners at the dog park ask about him. I would like to give more than "a Heinz 57".

Any help would be appreciated.

They are only saying Dutchie because of the brindle and head shape... Doberman really? lol I don't see Dutchie plot hound mix makes most sense

I sure do hope that you are correct. I would love it if he were a Plott Hound. Short of paying for a silly DNA test...I think that I'll just go with that! Besides, who's going to say that he's NOT a Plott!

Yeah the DNA test are bull anyway

Good looking boy!!

I have just never owned a dog that wasn't easily identified by appearance and behavior. This is also the first dog that I've ever owned with a brindle coat. One thing that I have found is that, when trying to ID a breed with a brindle coat, most people jump to breeds with predominantly, brindle coats! Boscoe's snout is the only reason someone hasn't suggested he's a Boxer!

I want him
