Facebook page.I'm Tim [smsdba01] and proud owner of a 5 mo old DS female we adopted from a local shelter. She'd been picked up by the cops roaming the streets @ 3 mo of age. [Some pics of her in the photos section: Luna].
We live in the Pocono Mountains of PA, so lots of fresh air and pretty changeable weather year round.
My last pal was a 180 lb Great Dane who was my best friend for just over 10 years. I waited a year and a half before deciding I needed another canine pal in my life. My daughter sort of gave me a gentle shove in that direction ... didn't take much ... I've had a dog nearly my whole life.
I'm happy to be somewhere with like minded DS owners/lovers!
Tim

Welcome, Tim and Luna! You are at the right place to hang out with others smitten with the Dutch Shepherd. You will also find some of the most knowledgeable on this breed here and very willing to offer on their experience. Good luck!

- 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. - Location: Victoria BC

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
