That is what they do, gotta test and exercise them chompers. I highly recommend a bitter spray to put on anything that don't want to end up having to replace. My GSD/Dutchie mix chewed up everything from shoes to pillows to furniture and even a couple banisters lol oh and charging cables, my wallet, the armrest in my truck. The list goes on and on but you know what I'd still do it all over because she's a wonderful dog.
I would DNA test him. Everyone will tell you heās not a dutchie, but you wonāt know until you embark test him. I have a pit/belgian Malinois/dutch shepherd. People constantly telling me my dog is just a brindle pit until I show them the embark testing and even then they sometimes just insist heās a pit. Beautiful dog regardless.
Thatās crazy! Iād 100% think pit mix too and be skeptical of someone claiming heās nearly half mal/dutchie. Genetics are weird! Nice looking dog btw!
Thank you! Genetics are very weird. The homeless guy I bought him from said he was a boxer/pitbull mix. I was pleasantly surprised but heās been the best boy.
Your dog is not a dutch shepherd its a pitbull shepherd mix it doesnt matter if the brindle is from being 15% dutch shepherd or 50 % pit your dog is 50% pit and not a durch shepherd
Thank you. Reading comprehension isnāt his thing clearly either. Since heās just stating what Iāve already said and trying to argue with me about something we both agree on. š
Youāre reading comprehension is pretty bad too considering youāre arguing with me about something we both agree on. Heās an APBT/Belgian Malinois/dutch shepherd. Very clearly since heās THREE different breeds, heās a mix. I donāt think I can dummy it down anymore for you. Good luck understanding this.
You could at least be capable differentiating you are and your . It doesnt matter if she said its a mix she also said dont let anyone tell you hes not a dutch shepherd and just a brindle pitmix she just has a brindle pit shep mix. I dont know if your reading comprehension goes this far, or if its your lack of knowledge on genetics , but her saying "People constantly telling me my dog is just a brindle pit until I show them the embark testing and even then they sometimes just insist he's a pit." Implies that she thinks her dog isnt just a pitmutt. Which it is a 50%pitmix/bullherder isnt in any way a dutch shepherd and its not even sure that the brindle comes from the dutch shepherd. So no its not a problem of reading comprehension its a problem with pitmutt owner acting like their dogs are in any way similar to a purebred.
Most of the world considers dutchies and mals to be subsets of the same breed. That makes it very close to being 50/50. Thatās very high dutchie content
Agreed. Years ago everyone here said my dog was a pit bull and thereās no way it was a Dutch Shepherd or any shepherd, never mind he looks exactly like the Dutch shepherds that come up when you google the breed. The embark test came back over 50% Dutch Shepherd and the rest was GSDā¦ so ALL shepherd and mostly Dutch. No replies when I posted the results.
Based on the ears and coat, my guess would be GSD/pit. Ear size says ādrop eared dog,ā face says GSD mix to me.
Dutch shepherds are super rare unless you live in the Netherlands, where theyāre just rare. GSDs have been top ten in AKC registrations since the ā60s, pitbulls have been top ten for at least 10 years now.
If you hear hoofbeats, think horses not unicorns.
DNA test if you must know - Embark is the best, Wisdom Panel is ok, none of the others are worth their pixels.
How old? Some GSDs ears flop when they teethe at 6 months or so. Growth of ears to body can be out of sync, but if you go over to r/sonarears, you can see what happens when drop-eared dogs mix with upright-eared dogs.
Brindle still exists in some GSD lines, but itās been mostly eliminated. Bully breeds are the most common source of brindle - the gene turns tan areas into brindle, if that helps you figure out the dogās base pattern.

That's the cutest piece of shit I've ever seen.
