Best Answer

A Dutch Shepherd is not a Border Collie or a GSD (German Shepherd Dog). While they are herders and protectors, the Dutch Shepherd is not close to the ability of a Border Collie, and surpasses the ability of a GSD.

Dutch Shepherds are very capable guardians, and virtually lack all of the health and temperament problems of a GSD. I have a Border Collie, GSD, and Dutch Shepherd and know that they are three very different dogs, and should not be confused with one another.

In short, a Dutch Shepherd is less likely to snap when he shouldn't, is a far better protector than a GSD, and lacks nearly all of the health problems that a GSD does. I would say that a Dutch Shepherd ranks closer to a Doberman or Rottweiler as far as being a guard dog, an Aussie in terms of agility, and and Aussie again in terms of temperament.
