Tell us about yourself: ADR (Accidental Dutchie Rescue)

Donna B and Phoebe Join the Mix

Post by donnab »

Hello Everyone and thank you for existing! I recently rescued a dog and become more convinced daily that she is a beloved Dutchie. Before adopting, I had my suspicions and did my research on the breed. NOTHING, I read prepared me for this. Nothing. Frankly, had I found this forum prior to adopting, I may have thought the breed's requirements detailed in some really great posts were an exaggeration. Three months in and I think I have found people who understand me! I have already found some really great information here and I am excited to learn more!

Happy to have a support group!

What are you seeing with her?

Beamble's DNA result showed she isnr DS, but one of the biggest hints I got while we thought she was, is to treat her like a working dog. She needs a purpose for her intensity.

Thanks for your response! I was just trying to get her to look at the camera. I have just been floored by how much energy she has. I did not realize anything on this level existed. I previously had a GSD so somewhat familiar wth working breeds, but this is a whole new arena.

Welcome to the forum. Yes, endless energy is a trait of this breed. Mental stimulation is key on top of exercise.

LOL I must be hardheaded and stubborn.
I guess before and after results with dogs tend to show the effort put into them.

Yep. If our dutchie dosn't get his exercise, his digestion gets hung up.
Good to see you here.
