I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to join. I'm in the process of adopting a dutch shshepherd out of Tennessee. It's going to be fun working the logistics out.
He is almost 2 years old and has been trained pretty well. I guess he was going to be a k9 on a police department but due to policy change he won't be.
I'm hoping to get him trained in personal protection for the family since I'm gone alot at night. Here are a few pictures.
Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobakawww.dogster.com/dogs/637612
He will be coming from nashville. His current owner imported him from Holland. I talked to one of our k9 guys and he is cool with the new dog (Enzo) tagging along on one of the training days.
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.
