Dutch Shepherd Forum

There are a lot of new members, so I'd like to get to know your dogs goofy quirks.

Bramble is my goofy girl. Her favorite "trick" is to run after a ball, do this little flip over the ball, then pick it up.

Mustang barks at tv commercials and the spins around in circles.

We've had to cut down on our tv watching.

Spinning in circles must be a Dutch and Malinois trait

My dogs have to bite the wheels on my tractor, my wheelbarrow, and anything that rolls. Fortunately, they don’t chase cars.

Radar story: We just finished having our plumbing replaced, and my backyard was tore up where they had to lay new pipe to the county system. I went to home depot and bought a new wheelbarrow to collect and move all the rocks left over from the dig (South Florida is all limestone just inches below the surface.).

I get home, and I bring the brand new wheelbarrow around the side of the house to the backyard. At the same moment, my wife opens the back door to come out with Radar pushing past her and running at me. I thought he was coming to greet me. Nope. In less than a second, he grabbed the wheel and I hear "sssssss" as the air hissed out of the tire - brand new wheelbarrow.

To my surprise (or maybe not), Home Depot didn't have a replacement wheel for my wheelbarrow, so I ended up removing everything from the bin which I attached a rope to. I dragged that bin around by the rope to finish my job, and Radar never touched it again.

Bramble will still go for tires, and gets into trouble. She now tries to "casually" walk up to the lawnmower, then zips in for a nip.
