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.
Tell us about yourself: Rescued our first DS male on Dec 27, 2011. Approx 4 yrs. Rescued from NADSR. His name is Odin. Adopted a 2nd DS from NADSR June 27, 2012. Kai - 6 months.
Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.

Tell us about yourself: I am a mom of 6 life forces - 2 kids and 3 dogs 1 hamster. I live in Ct. I have trained Ringsport and Agility and have 2 DS, one 15 and 7 and a Basset Hound Cookie who is 2
I'm wondering, was DS/lab mix a guess of his breed, or do you know that actual mated pair? I would have guessed him as something similar, but am curious if someone made the cross intentionally...etc.
I adopted him from the SPCA, and they told me he was a Lab/Shepherd Mix, and they at one time had both mom & dad there, but dad was gone by the time I got Clutch. Mom was definately a lab. I figured they said Shepherd because most ppl aren't as afraid of them as they are of what I thought he was mixed with, Pit or Boxer. It wasn't until about a week or so ago that I discovered the DS breed, and after some research realized that's definately what he is mixed with. Plus he has a lab head, and feet (webbed toes), i'm almost 100% sure he is a DS/Lab mix.

Tell us about yourself: jsut lost my maggie p of 14 yrs, never knew what breed she was until someone on a degenerative mylthopia noticed her pics and told me what she was. the most loyal, intelligent, athleic, loving dog a person could ever ask for.
Hi! I came across this post when my boyfriend and I were looking up what kind of mix our dog is...our Admiral looks pretty much IDENTICAL to your Clutch!!!!
Tell us about yourself: My name is Karen and I have a dutch shepherd, Xander, born 6/14/13. He is my second dutch shepherd. My first was Rawly. Even though Xander is my second I still have a lot to learn. That is why I'm here, to learn, get advice, and meet people who love these guys as much as I do.
FYI: this is an old post and the OP hasn't posted since.
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~~~
