Facebook page.Hi Guys
I rescued this little girl on Friday and am looking for opinions on if she is a Dutchie or not. She is a very sweet girl, who talks to me, walks around with energy in every step and leaps effortlessly. She also is also wicked fast and makes my 90 lb GSD look like a fat old man!! She is between 21 to 22 inches at the withers and right now weights around 45 lb.
If she's not a DS that's ok, she is a great little dog with incredible focus and I plan on doing agility with her.
Is she a DS?

Here's another pic. Ears like a fruit bat!! The rescue org I got her from had her listed as a Malinois.

- Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

Re: Is she a DS?
wow, congratulations. sounds like a really stupendous dog. you are both very lucky.
I would call her a DS. somebody might quibble about something, and with a rescue one cannot say with certainty that a dog is pure-bred; but if you have read a lot here you will see that even ''pure-breds'' may not be ''pure-bred'' if you go back a couple generations. so there will be variations.
you have described behavior, focus, abilities that clearly match the DS looks of your dog. seems to me she deserves a full-breed DS line at the top of her resume.
again, it seems you got a really spectacular dog.
