Facebook page.Hello! I'm Anna, i'm a breed nerd and have always wanted a dutchie, well while volunteering at my local shelter I came across Mina and right away knew this was no "german shepherd mix" shes all dutchie!! Ive had her for a little over a month now, the shelter aged her at a year old and while I knew she was younger then that it wasn't until bring her home I came to realize just HOW much puppy she is. Shes learned ALL the basic "tricks" in the month ive had her and is just a great pup. Also I have no clue wheres she from and apart from potty training and seemingly knowing what a crate is, she doesn't seem to have had any training, the shelter says she was in the night drop box as a stray. Could anyone tell me with her features how young you might guess she is with you all knowing the breed? and whether she might be some some stupid persons import or just another random "american dutchie"? I love her either way ;D just really curious.
I look forward to all the info you all have to share on this forum!

Re: Hello all! Introducing Mina, and myself ;D
Thanks! Yes she has her adult teeth so far as I can tell, I'm a pretty god judge of age normally, but between adult teeth and a year old i'm fuzzy with age and i'm new to dutchies so i'm not sure what else to look at.

Hi Anna 
Not sure if it's close to your area or if you are interested but there's an excellent SchH club in the Fayetteville area that has a couple of Dutchies.

Re: Hello all! Introducing Mina, and myself ;D

That would make at least 3 rescues from the Chapel Hill area in the last 2ish years. So sadMinaHerdershonden wrote:Thanks! And me too!

And not one person ( besides me) had any interest in her apart from one man the day before I adopted her who said she was too high energy for him lol
More pictures would be helpful. But my guess is that she is out of one of the local working dog breeders who sold some pups a few years ago and people bought them with the intention of breeding and getting rich. Those pups were probably placed with people who thought they were BEAUTIFUL, but had no idea what they were getting into.

You could try uploading them to a site like FlickR or Photobucket and then inserting them from there
