Here is Dakota waiting patiently for Odin to either give her his antler or walk away from it. BTW, she does have one, but she wants everything he has :whistle: :whistle:

He is sweet about it too - he gives her a signal (which I don't see) when she is allowed to take it from him and not before.

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!

Here it's the little dog who hogs everything! It's great that all your fur kids are getting along so well.

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.

It's amazing how well they get along just after such a short time. Human kids would be more difficult.

Thus far, there have been only 2 times that Odin really unleashed on her and had to be pulled off. But, in his defense, she antagonized him. She doesn't do that anymore. He is so easy going with her and with his chew toys. Oh, did I mention that Dakota can be very snarky........

But, yes, they do get along rather well. I was worried before we got him, but the minute she set eyes on him, it was love :love: at first sight!! :love: :love: :love:
