Hi Guys

I rescued this little girl on Friday and am looking for opinions on if she is a Dutchie or not. She is a very sweet girl, who talks to me, walks around with energy in every step and leaps effortlessly. She also is also wicked fast and makes my 90 lb GSD look like a fat old man!! She is between 21 to 22 inches at the withers and right now weights around 45 lb.

If she's not a DS that's ok, she is a great little dog with incredible focus and I plan on doing agility with her.

Here's another pic. Ears like a fruit bat!! The rescue org I got her from had her listed as a Malinois.

wow, congratulations. sounds like a really stupendous dog. you are both very lucky.
I would call her a DS. somebody might quibble about something, and with a rescue one cannot say with certainty that a dog is pure-bred; but if you have read a lot here you will see that even ''pure-breds'' may not be ''pure-bred'' if you go back a couple generations. so there will be variations.
you have described behavior, focus, abilities that clearly match the DS looks of your dog. seems to me she deserves a full-breed DS line at the top of her resume.
again, it seems you got a really spectacular dog.

Welcome and looks like a full DS to me. Love the last sit & focus shot

I love her very noble expression!
