Dutch Shepherd Forum

Happy to have found this board. We rescued/adopted a 2 year old female from a local shelter last summer and have wondered about her true breed. The shelter believed she was German Shepherd/Greyhound but no verification has been done and I just cannot see the mix anyways. After doing search after search we came across the DS and sure do wonder. She is a short hair Gold Brindle with a white patch on her chest, about 75 pounds, black muzzle, upright ears (one is a bit folded at the tip-just "floppy"). I've never seen another breed which so closely resembles Beta physically, and her behavioral characteristics are certainly there as well. I'll upload a pic to the forum as soon as possible to get everyone's opinion.....I'll tell you, just about everyone has had an opinion about this dog, lol But, never has Dutch Shepherd been uttered, but, I've heard GSD, Cathoula, Malinois, Presa Canario, PitBull, African Wild Dog, Hyena, Wolf Hybrid, and Dingo, lol She is NONE of those I'll tell you that! The GSD, I do see, but only vaguely and I see the difference when she plays with other GSD's at the park, not only her short, Brindle coat. Anyways, thanks for the forum.
