Tell us about yourself: I have five dogs: Alex, a chow mix who is now about 14, and four Dutch shepherds (all rescued DS): Ku (Hawaiian God of War), Kane (sounds like "Kahnay"; Hawaiian God of the Sun), Kanaloa (Hawaiian God of the Sea) and Kapua (Hawaiian gods of mischief - the Mischief Makers). Alex is our cheerleader and keeps the 4 DS in line. Three of the DS currently compete in DockDogs and we are trying to convince Lo that water is not evil. Our team name is Hawaiian by Heart which comes from the old joke by my husband that he is "Dutch by blood, Hawaiian by Heart." Our main goal is to promote having fun with your dog (and by doing so becoming partners) and supporting the rescue of the wonderful animals out there in need of homes.

We lost our big lady, Kelley, in May 2012 to cancer and she joins several other angel dogs who are now watching over us.

"I'm from Holland...isn't that veird?"

Post by Flying Dutchman »

I figured I'd start a thread of pictures of Ku since I love photography and he's a pretty nice subject. So here is a random assortment of photos that I'll continue to add to. Enjoy!

Looking handsome

Playing in the snow. He LOVES the snow.
Image


My what a big tongue you have...
Image


Jumping in Vegas with John
Image


Hiking with his half brother, Tonka. They kind of just tolerate each other. ;)
Image


Ku and I at his first ever DockDogs competition in Cheyenne, WY. He got second place in the Semi-Pro Finals.
Image


Halloween embarassment
Image


Ku with his brother Alex on Halloween. They hate me.
Image


One of my most favorite photos of him to date taken by my friend when we were in Vegas.

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.

I absolutely love the power captured in the photo of him jumping in Vegas!! Are you suuuuurrre that he likes snow? :lol: Has the same look on his face as in the (in)tolerant look with his half-bro, Tonka. He definitely has facial expressions that you can read easily.

Now we talk about ears on here a lot, jokingly, and this boy definitely was blessed with an abundance. You think his 'loft or lift' has anything to do with the ears!?!? :dsrazz: :mrgreen:

I think the look in the snow was his intolerance with the fact that I was making him sit still and not throwing the toy!

And his ears are a constant topic of conversation with people. I can only imagine what he looked like as a puppy! And I can only hope they help his lift. :D

Thanks for the kind words. We think he's pretty fabulous and he sure is a lot of fun.

He is quite athletic! Flying Dutchman is right.
Other than that, I have been staring at his makings. I see a hint of black and tan area's on him. He is a nice example of a genetic transition. (between alleles on a locus) Cool. I may ask you some day, if I can use a picture of him as an illustration. :)

A couple more pics to add. Snowy and cold here lately but it's never too cold to play some ball! Ku just loves his Luna ball which is one of the best dog toys ever.

Image


We have a fun time having him "place" on different objects and he thought he was pretty Hot Stuff on this bulldozer

Image


And to show you just how quickly the weather changes here, last weekend it was almost 70 and we were doing some training at the park.

Hope everyone is having a good week!
