- Tell us about yourself: I've had Belgian Malinois for years at my folks. I just got married, and a friend of mine who does search and rescue, had been keeping an eye out for Mali puppies for me. He came across a 9 month old Dutch Shepherd female pup who needed a home. She doesn't have the nerves to do the search and rescue she was intended for, but is perfect pet material. She's enough of a challenge to be alot of fun :)
Re: May 2013 Photo Contest: Flowers
Since I don't have any flowers in bloom right now except butter cups (which Maiya kept squishing!), and Maiya doesn't know down/stay yet, this is one of the few decent pics I got of her. (before all the buttercups were squished haha)

In loving memory of Maiya, the best Dutch Shepherd. 2012-2013. At 14 months old, you had yet to live life to it's fullest. You touched our lives and will never be forgotten.

- Tell us about yourself: Hi, I am Jacquie and my Dutch Shepherd is Kima. My boyfriend and I adopted her at 7 1/2 weeks old and she is now just about 5 months old. Do not have papers for her. Mother was a pure Belgium Malinois and father pure Dutch Shepard. Troy (boyfriend) is a dog trainer. We also have a 3 1/2 yr. old pitbull named Tito. She definitely keeps him on his toes! First time owner of this breed and just want to learn as much as I can about it and how to be the best owner I can be for her.

Re: May 2013 Photo Contest: Flowers
ok, I have a secret: TexXAN [ Tex Xander Dog ] joined me and Sakima in the family last Thursday night. he was found 10 days earlier as a stray in Paris, TX. he is 3 months old and we both love him, though Saki's legs and ears are getting very sore from being constantly slammed with a mouthful of needles. TexXan has decided he loves life at the beach and thus has agreed to stay. so, I guess, you will all be hearing more from TexXander.

Re: May 2013 Photo Contest: Flowers
here is a cropped version that better emphasizes flowers and dogs - which are all pretty scrambled together. so this photo is TexXan's and Sakima's entry for May Flowers. I was just so excited looking at pics of the new family that I did not think to size it for the occasion.

Re: May 2013 Photo Contest: Flowers
thank you Lisa, and thank you Leih !
TexXan is so cute. the last baby pup in my household was when I was 5, so.... it's all very new to me.
I think he is amazing. I picked him up from Newark airport after he had been traveling for almost 11 hours - the last bit being trucked to curbside; even then in his crate before he was handed over to me he was defiantly happy. then or since, I have not seen him the slightest bit intimidated by anything. he learned ''SIT" at a stop on the way home. he is so confident, so physically able, AND so perceptive that I have dreams that he just might be able to walk in TraceDog's pawprints, but he and I have much to do before that has a chance of becoming reality. meanwhile TexXan seems truly content and we are all very happy.

- Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

Re: May 2013 Photo Contest: Flowers
Mokume
Had a hard time choosing, have several nice photos of him with flowers, many with better flowers, but I like his expression in this one the best. One of the few not-manic-looking, serene, calm, peaceful shots that I cherish for their rarity!
John! Tell us more about your new pup! SQUEEEEE! What a fun surprise after you were so sure it was to be a one-dog household!
