Dutch Shepherd Forum

Meet Clutch he just turned 2, and is a Dutch/Lab Mix.




He likes car rides, but he always has to be close to me. This is how he sits on every ride.


He LOVES swimming. But is afraid of the garden hose, and the kiddy pool with 2" of water in it.
Can't figure that one out.


I has a stick!!

Welcome and great photos! What a sweetie pie.

That's quite a stick! And such a sweet picture in the car!

Welcome!

Lab + DS = great combination !

Nice pics! I met a Golden x DS once, that was nice too
The size of the stick looks familiar... must be the Dutch half in him

welcome!! love the face in the car.

Welcome!

Love the swimming pic...looks like a DSxotter

Welcome, what a great looking doggie!

Welcome to the forum!!

I'm wondering, was DS/lab mix a guess of his breed, or do you know that actual mated pair? I would have guessed him as something similar, but am curious if someone made the cross intentionally...etc.

I adopted him from the SPCA, and they told me he was a Lab/Shepherd Mix, and they at one time had both mom & dad there, but dad was gone by the time I got Clutch. Mom was definately a lab. I figured they said Shepherd because most ppl aren't as afraid of them as they are of what I thought he was mixed with, Pit or Boxer. It wasn't until about a week or so ago that I discovered the DS breed, and after some research realized that's definately what he is mixed with. Plus he has a lab head, and feet (webbed toes), i'm almost 100% sure he is a DS/Lab mix.

Me n my buddy. Snuggled on my lap. He pulled the pillows off the couch, and fell asleep with his ball in his mouth. On the wrong side of the fence, and scared that he couldn't get back. And one more cute one...

Aww, so cute!

He really is a doll! Glad he found you

Awww, very cute!

Not that I am an expert but I would say it's a Lab/DS mix. Nothing of him looks like a Boxer or Pit.

But I am biased. Black Labs & DS are my favorite breeds.

Maybe we should try to get it registered with the AKC, if they have Labradoodles and such, why not a Dutch Labrador?

So cute! His ears are like my Roxie's. I was told she was a lab mix but her head isn't broad enough so we don't really know what else is in there.

I love the car pic.

yep he has some dutch.. you can tell by the size of his stick...rofl. so familiar!

Hi! I came across this post when my boyfriend and I were looking up what kind of mix our dog is...our Admiral looks pretty much IDENTICAL to your Clutch!!!!

Welcome. He is a good looking boy. Love the pics. The stick must be a ds thing....

FYI: this is an old post and the OP hasn't posted since.
