Tell us about yourself: I have 3 dogs, a cocker spaniel, a blue heeler/springer spaniel/beagle mix, and a stray we adopted 5 years ago we think may be a dutch shepherd mix. She has brindle stripes and ears that stand up.

I know it's tough to hear when you're trying figure out where your dog comes from, and what some of the general traits of the breed might be.

However, I have to agree that there's not much I see in these photos that make me think there's any DS in this dog. The brindle is the only thing, and that's not enough given the number of dog breeds that present the brindle coat.

Thank you for rescuing, though. :wtg:
