Dutch Shepherd Forum

Since business is slow at the garden center, I had a day off today. So we had some extra time to go for a walk, with the rain we've had this month, it's wet everywhere, and that is just what a brindled-water-loving-beast needs


yay! Run!!! I know where the water is, this way!!


the swamp-Ivil...


DS's are known for their instincts to always follow a trail/path


2 happy faces


Ivil is in heat (first week) so she's putting up some flags for the dudes in the area


"What? You never know who might pass...could be the man of my life"


and I finally got a pic of them together, and both are in focus It's my new desktop pic


if you look closer: simultaneous the little stinkers!!

Lovely, wet, striped, beasties!
Ivil is too funny marking the little weeds! One of my GSD bitches use to do that.

nice shots!! I love the shot of them running together - you called it 2 happy faces, but if someone saw those faces running toward them I don't think they would think it was happy faces To me, they look fierce.

Standing together you can really see how much bigger he is than her. Beautiful dogs!!

What great pictures! I am glad you got the day off~ but you know what rain means... you will be swamped with customers soon!!!

The pictures are fantastic!! The pic of them together is beautiful, and yes... i see both of them sticking their toungs out

How beautiful. Super pics.

Great shots of them! Looks like so much fun!

Awesome pics!! I am starting a photography class soon and can't wait to start actually getting some great pics of my brindles.

Great pictures!

Great pics!

Did you get a new camera, Christie?

I've had it for a little while, but I always use it on "automatic"
I think that taking a class will A- get me out of the house. B- give me an excuse and accountability to take pictures of my kids!

Thanx all

get OFF the automatic! Try the AV position, and set the F to 5.6 (read the manual) f5.6 is the best for dog action pics!

I'm already looking forward to you huge amount of pics in the near future

Absolutely stunning pics of your two! I LOVE all of them, of course, but especially of the 2 of them side by side!

On a side note, I am always amazed by Beta's ability to keenly follow a path/trail, without deviating like my naughty Beagles tend to do.

We took ours hiking and swimming today, even though it didn't even reach 50 F., they don't seem to care one bit! Beta has this habit of going in the water, and promptly laying down.lol She is a great, powerful swimmer too, able to carry big logs across the river. Puddles does her own thing, just wading, lol

I was intrigued with Ivil "marking her territory", calling for the boys, lol Never saw that one before,

Great pics I bet they had so much fun running around

And the class just got canceled. So much for having a non-dog related activity. I'm thinking of taking my four-leggeds and joining the strawberry picking hippies who live below the radar. Maybe sleeping behind the waterfall will help.

Oooh - take pics from behind the waterfall. That might look really cool.

Nice photos!

I have a female who runs over to any puddle she sees and has to spin around in it playing and getting muddy.
