Greetings from Huntington Beach, CA

Hi, I'm so glad to find you guys. I adopted my puppy about 4 months ago. On her papers it says a 'German Shepherd Mix' but she really looks like a Dutch Shepherd mix. Her name is Charlie and is soo cool. Everyone asks what breed she is and we just say she's a puppy.. But from seeing these pictures I really think she is a Dutch Shepherd.
We live downtown Huntington Beach and she is the queen of the neighborhood. In 4 short months everyone knows our puppy and says hi (she hangs out on the porch and front yard).
Anyway take a look see if you see what I see.
We're guessing she's about 13 months. Charlie is small about 30 lbs and shows no signs of getting any bigger.

all the pictures she's sitting down, which is very misleading.. she's always on the go. Charlie loves running (I run her 3-4 miles a night, well she runs and I ride my bike--fast), excellent playing catch and amazingly gentle with kids. Can't believe this girl was 1 day away from being put down. this is my first puppy and now I totally get 'puppy love'. Anyway, she does have a chewing and jumping up on people problem. We're working through it. any tips are welcome.

What a cute pup! Glad you found us.

I'll let the experts comment on the possible DS connection...

Perhaps you could go to the user control panel and create a signature, so we know what your name is? (It'll automatically add it at the bottom of your posts...).
