Re: 5 months old Development questions
This is a quite common question, and usually the answer is to exercise patience. There isn't a true timeline for this, and I think I've seen some report as long as a year and a half.
There are some other factors to consider like nutrition or injury, but really not much else helps.

Is Duke a DS?
The brindle stripes are a dominant DNA feature for a Dutch Shepherd, so it is more likely that there is little to no Dutch Shepherd in Duke.
There are all black German Shepherds, though.

Re: Is Duke a DS?
Can you trace down the father of this pup ? That can answer a lot of questions.

Re: Is Duke a DS?
Thanks for your replies , cannot trace father as he only had duke and his mum , he told me his dad was a black German shepherd but his mum in pic was a Dutch shepherd? But looking on this forum mum looks more like a Belgium or German ?

Re: Is Duke a DS?
There are black ds for sure, i have seen them. And they are all registered and purebred.
For ur guestion, ur dog looks more gs than ds. Time and dna test can do the trick.
