Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hi Everyone

I am Rich, 23 years old and me and my partner adopted our dog Bella at 7 months old.

Bella was abandoned at 7 weeks in Lincolnshire and then kindly adopted by a single mother. After the owner found full time work and little time for Bella, she put her up for adoption where we fell for her in an instant.

We have always been unsure about Bella's breed but she has a remarkable resemblance to a dutch shepherd - this is why I am on this site.

I will be posting a few pics on the "is my new canine a Dutch Shepherd?" forum, so if you can help I would be eternally grateful.

Welcome to you and Bella--and thank you for taking her in, regardless of "what" she may or may not have running through her blood.

When you post pics in the other section, don't forget to detail what you know about her (e.g., how quickly she learns (which might only be a matter of your opinion based on your level of experience), and if she likes to give chase, how she is with strangers, other dogs, kids, etc., etc.) as well as good frontal and side-view shots.

Thank you for the advice.

I have now posted the best pictures I can of bella stood up - took a while as she much prefers to sit down.
