Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

OMG the ears on these guys are sooooo cute! Sugar sure missed that gene!

The pup laying down looks exactly like Sugar did (especially 'cause you can't see the ears ;) )

Oh my, puppy EAR WALLS! I love that stage when the ears do their thing, changing daily. Which pup is your's and I am assuming these are all from the same litter. If so, then you can see that they are Dutch/Mal cross and that would explain the lack of brindling in some of the pups. Either way, they are adorable 'for now'. :lol: Just kiddin (sort of)!! :stickman: Oh and if you get a chance to train with Ivan, then I am envious. Welcome to the forum!

Hey Dave - welcome to the forum!!

Many of the "Dutch Shepherds" in this country are imported from Holland and come out of the KNPV program. Most of them have other breeds behind them - primarily malinois and GSD. Brindle is a dominant trait, so it is possible for 2 brindle dogs to produce a fawn dog if the puppy gets the recessive gene from both parents. Everyone has their own school of thought on what they should be called - fawn Dutch Shepherds or Malinois.

Attached is a diagram I created that shows how the genetics of fawn vs. brindle works.
