Hello from Zodiac
I just joined the forum, so hello everyone! I have a 3-ish Dutch Shepherd named Zodiac who I adopted in May of 2009. I work with Military Working Dogs for a living and fell in love with the breed but never really thought about getting one. Then I saw my girl while she was out in a Humane Society awareness run and it was love at first sight! This dog has made my life much more fun and I can't imagine having any other breed now that I've had a Dutch Shepherd.

Re: Hello from Zodiac
Congratulations on your new family member!
Even better yet it looks like you got lucky with Zodiac and the cat getting along. None of the rescues I've had ever liked my cat(s) and my current DS went crazy thinking that Fred (my last cat) was a chew toy.
Best of luck with Zodiac.

It is so hard to take a photo of the dark Dutch Shepherd against snow. Either the snow is blown out or the DS is a blob of black.
Funny photo of Zodiac with his tongue out.

Re: Hello from Zodiac
When we first got the cat of course Zodiac wanted to chase her, but after keeping her on her leash for a few days and correcting her when she tried to get the cat she learned pretty quickly that "Oh, that's not a prey animal". Now she's great with the cat, so we did get very lucky with her. When we take her to visit my in-laws she is great with their cat too, so it's not just with our cat.icvanstra wrote:Congratulations on your new family member!

Yes, I have SUCH a difficult time getting a good photo of Zodiac. Her markings are so beautiful but I have yet to get a photo that does her justice!icvanstra wrote:Zodiac wrote: It is so hard to take a photo of the dark Dutch Shepherd against snow.
