Dutch Shepherd Forum

Two years ago I adopted my beautiful Ozzy. He is purported to be a DS (I know his date of birth but have nothing on his lineage) and certainly has the look and characteristics of the breed. I am new to this site and wondering whether or not there is a genetic test that can determine whether or not he is a true DS?

Welcome! Hmm, where is the heartland, BTW? Do I live there?

hello from NY and welcome!!

Howdy!

Hello and welcome to the forum. It is hard to tell from that one picture what he is or is not - except he IS beautiful!! More pics would be very welcome.

Also I know others asked - but where is the heartland??? LOL.

Lastly, please take a moment and visit the User Control Panel - link located in the upper right hand side of the screen. If you could create a signature at a minimum, including your name, it would be greatly appreciated.

From "the heart of New York" to you in the mid-west, welcome to you and your beautiful beast.

welcome!

Welcome!

Heartland? - May be Texas ?

welcome from another 'heartlander"

To all who asked, the Heartland is Kansas City, Missouri! Take a pin, stick it in the middle of the USA and there we are. I'll try to post more pictures of Ozzy. The man who bred him was named Randy Oginbene; from what I am told not a very nice guy. Did not treat his animals well. Oz was born May 2009 and rescued from him by a friend of mine when he was just a puppy before the City came and took all the other dogs and he moved away. The breeder claimed Ozzy was pure bred, but due to the circumstances no papers were ever available.

Welcome! Ozzy looks nice
