Facebook page.Hi yall, we have recently picked up this little girl from the humane society. they call her a cattle dog mix but i think she may have a good deal of dutch in her? everything i have read over the last couple of days about personality and pictures i have seen lead me to her being dutch (to some degree). They say she is about 6 months old and she is 30lbs. one ear appears to be trying to stand...im sure her diet has not been the best up to this point. she is very active and agile
What do y'all think?

Re: Is she a dutch?
also....another reason that pointed me here was there was a guy at the petco adoption event that was a former police k9 (whatever you call them) that said she looked like a dutch shepherd (or at least perdominantly). said he has been around them and trained them....for what ever thats worth?

Re: Is she a dutch?
thanks for the welcomings!!!! in that link there is also a short video of her jumping and spinning.
the more i read the more her personality/ temperment matches a dutch.....???? it just seems that here skull is a tab wider and snout a little short.....and the hind quarters may be a little different?
looking straight down on here she has more of a shepherd head (narrower) is there a point in their maturation that the snout grows in to the longer more typical shepherd shape?

Re: Is she a dutch?
Is that some tell-tale Chow purple in her tongue I see? She could get a nice wide head from being part Chow. She's a cutie! And welcome!

Re: Is she a dutch?
Welcome, bama29fan,
She's a cutie, regardless, and maybe she is a DS mix. We'll see what the experts around here have to say.
It's great that she found a forever home with you!
What are your plans for your super smart and athletic girl?
