So, I got a puppy at about 7 weeks old and was told she is a Belgian Shepherd/Pit mix, however she looks more like a Dutch Shepherd to me. She was small and thin when I got her but she is now 5 months and 6 days old, stands 18.5 - 19in at the withers, and weighed in at 38Lbs even. I'm wondering if this is small for a Dutch Shepherd. I'll try to attach some pictures to help out and maybe everyone can give me an idea as to what breed of Shepherd she looks like.

I was told she is mixed with Pitbull and Belgian Shepherd...but doesn't look like a pit or belgian to me but she does have some huge ears. I'm just here to swap information and hopefully learn a bit more.

Yep that's a dutch, probably has Mal in her background somewheres. Congratulations on a fine girl! She's very pretty!
Look at the similarities. Leo is almost 7 months old, and weighs about 55 lbs.

Couple more pictures to give you an idea, kind of. Maybe show off the two fur-kids a little bit. :dswink"

Re: Lilly - Height and Weight Age appropriate?
Thanks for the responses and those are some beautiful fur babies! Leo is a cutie. Do you think Lilly's height sounds right though? Everyone talks about them being all legs until they fill out, but she looks a lil stumpy to me (not that I mind it).
I have to go clear the floor again she is currently positioning the pieces of her beef hock to see who she can trip today lol.
