Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hi I'm new to the forum,
About 3 months ago I fostered a staff x gsd
We took her in to rescue as she was on a free to good home add, well my family totally fell in love and my other rescue bonded with her so well, we just could not give her up.
Well pebbles has become a a fantastic addition, picks up training well, highly intelligent and just great.
We googled pic and we came up with a pic from google that looks so much like her, we now thinking she not a staff x gsd but a Dutch Shepard.
Her a pic of her see what you think?
Pebbles is the top two pics pic we found on google is bottom pic

Sry forgot to add pebbles is only 5 mths

It is impossible to tell from the pics you shared here.

Welcome!

Wonder if these pic will help more ?

Not really...
Try to get a standing side view profile and a few head shots from the front and the sides and if at all possible, get them with the mouth shut. The main indicators are going to be closed muzzle size and shape, a straight on view of the ear set, and the build and size and tail when the dog is standing.

The first and 3rd photos in this posting are really helpful for breed identification. http://www.dutchshepherdforum.com/viewt ... =11&t=2608 Close ups of the head would be better too.

great pics but not good for telling what he is. I can sort of see he could be DS or at least part, but see if you can get more of his body, like a conformation shot.

the last pic is wonderful and does suggest at least a DS mix, assuming we're not looking at a tiny dog [suggesting you got wrong info originally -- lucky you to get a great DS [mix?] !! ]. really gorgeous in that pic. also, if she learns faster than any dog or child you have ever known, then that also points very strongly to DS, which I infer somewhat reading between the lines of what you said.
so, how old do you think she is and can you give approx. weight and shoulder height?

Looks like a Dutch/Mal mix to me.

I think she looks like a total dutchie, then again I'm biased because I think she looks like my ginger; but looking at the dog above to the right (I would assume they are supposed to be DS???) they look very much like the same breed, here is my ginger....
