I've known quite a few Dutch Shepherds. They are definitely a different dog - more stick-to-it-iveness (I'm sure there's a lovely technical term for that but I'm ignorant) and yes, less reactive/hair trigger, but also less handler focused like you'd see with a GSD. They can be a little, er, OCD though. Well, the ones I've seen can be - might be the local lines. It is not a common breed and I suspect the local ones are all related.
