Survival

Post by Marjolein »

Once a year a SAR-dog group, connected to the Dutch Shepherd Club in Holland organises a "survival for handler and dog". It is for all breeds, but you see quite some DS because it is connected to the breed club. We have been doing this for a couple of years now, it's always a fun day!

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.

Sure looks like fun! Guess you hope for smaller dogs when it comes to the backpacking ;)

I LOVE the pic with the puppy and its front paws on the dog's back, peeking over. Very cute!!

Tell us about yourself: I live in Metro-West Boston with my husband and our rescued Dutch Shepherd, Minnie. She loves anything involving activity. Our first rescued DS, Kaya, loved to tug. Our second rescued DS (who actually turned out to be a GSDx), Marley, loved to nap. I volunteer for the North American Dutch Shepherd Rescue and am a member of the NADSR BOD.

Gosh, that looks like fun! :party1: Would love to do something like that in the states. The photos were great, as you always do. :wtg: Have the dogs been trained all along with the back pack or whatever it is called or was this the first time for most of the dogs?

It is a harness for abseiling (is that english??)
We used to train for SAR work and these dogs must get used to being transported like this:

But also to lower a dog alone (Dingo in 2009)

Image

Image

Dingo was really trained in this, but Ivil and Juul, and I guess 70% of the dogs were not (total of 100 dogs). Most dogs surrender as soon as their paws are off the ground, thay just hang there, it's like the "puppy-reflex"
