Hi! My name is Nina, im a dental student in Los Angeles and about 9mos ago I rescued what I was told was a dutch shepherd! Regardless of what she actually is, Stella is the love of my life and I thought I would introduce you to her! If anyone has any ideas about what she might be mixed with I would LOVE the input. She's got these great little white feet that I dont see a lot in other peoples pictures...and a lovely little white bow-tie on her chest!
This is when she first came home to stay with me = )

"Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies."
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.
Welcome Nina and your precious Stella. FWIW, I think her coat is longer haired than most DS's, and her beautiful tail and neck hair says that she may have some Geman Shepherd heritage. The white feet suggest bull dog breed, instead of Dutch shepherd, but I would bet that there is a high dose of herder in there. Very cool looking dog and I too love the bow tie.
