Tell us about yourself: I have been active in the Dutch Shepherd world for 3 years now. I am very passionate about the breed and making it better. I own Zonya Gestreepte de Tijger. We did SDA back in MI and now train both Personal Protection and Mondioring out here in Colorado.
Oh! ...look at those ears....I mean...look at those lovely stripes!
(just teasing you. Those are big ears, and I have personally bred my share of those too, so I hope you have a sense of humor)
Tell us about yourself: Lifelong animal person- I professionally trained horses before my children were born. New to DS's, but not new to high drive working dogs. :) Currently have a 1 1/2 yr old DS, Koenig, and a 2 yr old English Pointer Sara. They are both rescues. Oh yes, I work at a multi species non-profit animal rescue, on Bainbridge Island, WA
Oh gosh, I love puppy pictures! I cannot WAIT till I'm ready to take on my very own DS land shark! (loved the bite suit shot) LOL. Start em' young, raise em' right.
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.
All the pictures are great, but this one really says something

Tell us about yourself: We current own 1 Dutch Shepherd - ThunderHawk's Child of Lilith "Mazikeen" And we have loved and lost 3 - Vrijheid's Amie "Vada", Vrijheid's Hafwen "Letty" and Sather's High On Life "Narcotic". We train/compete in mondioring and agility.
[quote="Marjolein"]super pics!! More more!!!
And yes, Judith sure did breed her share of big ears Try and catch me Juut...can you swim that far
X'cuse me ma'am, but the big ears that I produced were straight Arras pups. I have been doing a LOT better since. (in the ear department)
Watch your tone dear. I may not be swimming the atlantic, but there are airplanes these days.......
Tell us about yourself: I live in North Monterey County, CA with my husband, three step kids, one gorgeous and wonderful Dutch Shepherd and a whole bunch of livestock type animals. The humans are into sustainable farming, the dog is into chasing deer and digging up gophers. My day job is an Operations Supervisor at Santa Cruz Regional 911. One of these days, I'm going to get another DS.
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.
When they are young their bodies are not yet into the right proportions which makes that there ears look very large compared tot the head aswell as there legs do. After about one and a half years everything seems to be in the right proportion.

Nehhhhhhhhh. Big ears is not a fault. But I think the official DS ear should not be GSD size.
@ Rochelle. Oops...that first pic of Zonya. WOW.
@ Marjolein. Go cook your own blues and please post a pic of Dingo for ear-reference.
Thanks Marjolein! Neat 'little' ears. All of them.
Mr Nico has a very polite size ear. He spoiled me to the more acceptable size, but I will take any ear, any day, (as long as it is standing) on a good working dog.

Thanks for the ear comparison. I see what you mean now. I have always had a deep love for my big eared Dutch Warmbloods, I think I'll like my Dutch dogs the same way!
