Tell us about yourself: I work for the USAF stationed at Langley, AFB, VA. I got my boy Kobe at 4 months from a breeder in Gulfport, MS. He is right around 70lbs now (12/16/11). We are very active, soccer, walking and play wrestling. Very lively temperament, sociable with dogs, but is very loyal to me. No formal training as of yet; he catches on rather quickly so I'm not too worried. I do want to put him through some protective training even though that is natural to him.

Welcome to the forum! If you get a minute, post an Intro in the Intro section and tell us about you and your boy! Pistol sure is handsome. Are you guys doing any formal training? Where did he come from? We always want to know everything! And keep those awesome pics coming.

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.

where are you in VA? I'm outside of Charlottesville, and would love to let my female play with another DS (she's 18 months old).

Have you already done an intro post? :huh:

I was looking for that too. :oops: Would love to know who and where.
He/she is online as I type this, so I am constantly checking back to see if the intro has appeared yet. :D

Edit:
Nothing under the new member section yet. But I do see that he/she has info in the profile.
8-) Welcome he/she. :yeah: If you don't mind, maybe you could copy some of that info to the new member section? (so the rest of us, stuck in our ruts, can get aquainted?) ;)
