- Tell us about yourself: I like Dutch Shepherddogs, especially the roughcoat. At the moment we have three dogs, two DS (one female who is 10 years and one male who is six months) and one male Laekenois at the age of three. We live in the north of The Netherlands.

- 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. - Location: Victoria BC
Re: Head studies
I want a puppy!!!
BTW, is their fur soft or wiry? It looks really soft, but having never seen one, don't really know.

Re: Head studies
It feels soft and when they grow older it gets a little bit less soft, at leats that's the case with our Floor.

Re: Head studies
they look so snuggly, I love how their ears pop out of their fur.

Re: Head studies
No, we never shave them, they have to be plucked if you want them to keep their curly fur. Some people have them shaved e.g. when they become old because plucking is rahter intensif, it takes to much energy.
They do shed a lot when they are about to be plucked which is a signal that ist is time to do so. But the first momths after they have been plucked you don't find much hair on the floor.
Our dogs have to be plucked every seven months approximately.

- Tell us about yourself: Hi, I live in NC with my husband, daughter and son. With three Westies and 2 cats already in our family, we recently acquired a Dutch Shepherd as a service dog for our daughter, Sally.
Re: Head studies
How does "plucking" work? Is it something you do yourself? Do the dogs object when you do it?
