Hi! Newbie here. Did I adopt a Dutchie from a shelter?

Marley came to me as a 4-5 month old from my Township animal shelter. The shelter described her as a "delightful mix." She is now 9 mos? I had never heard of Dutch Shepherds, but I've been researching like crazy and think she may be one, or a mix?

Welcome to the forum.

Except for the pointy ears and brindle, there's a lot that says not a Dutch Shepherd - head shape, eye shape, and tail are not DS. There's a lot of breeds that have the pointy ears and brindle.

Good looking dog.

Thanks for your reply. I'm learning a lot. Her size and temperment fit DS, also. I'm thinking bully shepherd, boxer shepherd, with greyhound in there somewhere. She has a long, slender body with a strong chest. She flies like the wind and never seems to tire. She has a crazy high drive, but maybe being 9 mos. has a lot to do with it. In any case, she is very smart, learning quickly and a Velcro lovey. Maybe I will ask for Wisdom panel for Christmas! Thank you again for replying, I really appreciate your expertise!
