Did you see a Dutch Shepherd somewhere? Out in public? On Television? In a movie?

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.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

Prehistoric Predators: Dire Wolf

An explanation of how different body types affect attack styles. I thought this was very interesting and shows some nice footage of the DS.
Gets to the body type attack styles at about 8.53---first spotting the DS at 9.36---and differences in style between the Mali vs DS around 10.32----and continued to about 13.25.
The entire thing is quite long, but I really enjoyed all of it.

Tell us about yourself: I was introduced to the Dutch Shepherd breed during my time as an Army veterinary technician working with Military Working Dogs. I fell in love with the breed and by pure chance happened to meet a DS in a local rescue who was a police K9 washout and was up for adoption. We adopted Zodiac right away and she has been an important part of our family ever since. We currently compete in Rally-Obedience and participate in Agility.

I actually posted about that on this forum a while ago, but it was neat to see the clip again :)

I must have missed it before, or forgotten it (getting old age brain sometimes). :duh:
