One word to describe your Dutch Shepherd....?

Post by simbathedog1 »

What is one word you would use to describe your Dutch Shepherd? I can think of about a thousand, but let's keep it to one word at a time. Post as many times as you like. My first word may be a bit surprising but here goes....

SENSITIVE :P

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

WTH? Fun question but WTH? Can the one word be hyphenated? Like with a thousand hyphens? No? I'm out.
Though I can only hope to become the person who my animals believe I am, the things that they have taught me have made me a better human being. ~~~Sharon~~~

Tell us about yourself: Hi there.
I WILL be a new Dutch Shepherd owner on July 20th!!! Puppies are on the ground and a huge litter at 14! Very excited. I chose the Dutch because I like high drive dogs and my husband likes shepherds. We both have had GSDs in our past. I also am interested in search and rescue training. I live in the mountains of California and have two older Australian Shepherds. I do know that I have a job managing this pack. My husband is on board with it all. No kids. Both of us have flexible jobs. We are active folk but aging! ;-))
Still we mountain bike, hike, cross-country ski and my husband runs. I walk in the woods with the dogs 3 times a day and we are lucky to have US Forest right out the door. So that is it.

Odin: Caffeinated, obviously
Elli: Tramp We call her a non-PG version of this at home. It may sound horrible, but I mean it in the most enduring way. She throws her body at every dog and human just looking for attention and then waves her lady parts around. One time when the setter's were over, Odin was chewing a bone and not paying attention to her so she rolled over and enticed Winston to play. When Odin paid attention to that she continued to tease them both by rolling back and forth and petting their faces.

oh Sadie is Nosey all right. As soon as you sit down or get to her level that is the open door for her nose to be in your face! She sticks her nose in everything and has to check everything and every place !

For Tomo who is 9months or so now, Pistol...good tool to have, but always handle with care and point in safe direction
Suka who is about a year now, and polar opposite of Tomo, I would say tranqauility. She evened out the pack and has a stability that helps even the keel, her crazy side is Tomo on Valium.

Tell us about yourself: I used top be terrified of dogs as a kid. But I met a German Shepherd named Sheba and have been into dogs since I was 12, now I'm 32 and have successfully handled many of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I titled my first dog Sport, a mixed breed, in agility and then got into schutzhund. I got to work with working bred GSDs and loved them. After Sport died I was offered a young Dutch Shepherd named Allie (short for alligator!). I adopted her and fell in love with the breed. I rescued several Dutchies after that and then Allie was killed tragically by irresponsible veterinary staff. About 4 months later I rescued a pathetic emaciated 1 yr old Dutchie named "Phantom". With just some food, water and love he sprang from his listless phantom self and I named him Logan. Now he is my 8 yr old hardcore PITA!!!! :D
