Re: Our first DS, Hope
Lovely expression and she seems to be put together nicely. Hope she grows into her ears.

- 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. - Location: Victoria BC

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Re: Our first DS, Hope
Nice pup. The ears remind me of some of my GSD pups---puppy antenna's! Don't worry--she'll probably grow into them.

You mean you can't see that there is some heavy duty frame in there?

Re: Our first DS, Hope
Thanks for the kind remarks. She has been here almost 2 weeks and just a few accidents housetraining. Workin on the leash and loves a ball. I had her out tonight and a neighbor was walking down the road, she did not hesitate throwing those big ears up, barking trotting towards him,broke when called and made me really happy. We got her to be a protection prospect for my wife and daughter since I am a firefighter and gone for 24+ hours at a time. I think we made a great choice with the Dutch. A trainer actually sold us on her and he has had GSD's for 30 yrs., he told us we could not go wrong with this pup and he is ready to start working with her. gonna send her back for some obedience here in a week or two since we are so busy right now with our daughter and volleyball 3-4 days a week. Cant wait to see what she develops into.
