Tell us about yourself: I am a second year college student attending Cal Poly Pomona in California. I am majoring in Kinesiology with emphasis on teaching students with special needs. I just found my little bratt Bailey at a local animal shelter in the beginning of Febuary. She is estimated to be around 3 months old. She is currently in training to become a service/ therapy dog for children with special needs and disabilities.

Just Adopted Bailey!

Post by Leeanne »

I just adopted this cute 3 month old puppy from an animal shelter about 2 weeks ago. The staff at the animal shelter could not determine her breed. After doing some research, I believe that she has all the characteristics of a Dutch Shepherd. Do you think she is a Dutch Shepherd??

Welcome and congrats on your new addition!

We'll need better pics to answer your DS/not DS question :mrgreen: .

Can you post more? Show us her standing from the side (if you can get her to hold still long enough :lol: ), maybe a head shot or two (straight on and profile), etc.

She's a cutie, regardless! Thanks for adopting :wtg:

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

welcome!
I'm thinking "too small (paws) for DS" bet it could be mixed with a smaller breed...? Just guessing
