Offline	i read somewhere that there are wirehaired Dutch Shepherds, is this true, and are they faulted for being wirehaired? Sorry, i don't really know anything about this breed, for the longest time, i thought they were black GSD's. Now i see some wirehaired ones.

Most but not all of the short haired working variety have been crossed with Mals no matter what their papers indicate. This is a very difficult breed to get a grip on and understand. They can't be registered AKC. Schutzhund classifies them as a mixed breed. But hold on to your seat if you get a good one. Lee Sternberg

Mallory Kwiatkowski Webboard User Reg: 11-23-2007 Posts: 947 Loc: Cold-ville, Wisconsin. Offline	i see. i don't have one, but i was looking through a dog book, and saw one. I have a secret love for big wirehaired dogs. Then i realized this was the same dog, and was intrigued. I would love to see a wirey dog streak across a field and bite!

Like the Belgian Shepherd, there are 3 varieties of Dutch Shepherd - based on the coat type (short, long, rough). Here's a link to photos of a wirehaired dutch shepherd (hollandse herder ruwharen): http://fotoalbum.hollandseherder.nl/Album%20RH/index.html
