''Joep's update''

Post by Jan »

Time to show you the latest photo's of our Joep who is six months old now. Last week he got his first diploma. And yesterday evening I've started to do showtraining with him since I intend to do some shows with him in the near future. This is where we do the training takes place: http://www.ringtraining.nl/

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.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

Thanks! :D His behaviour is also very good, amongst other dogs at the dogschool e.g. he doesn't give any problem. After training they are allowed to play and he is very social towards all the other dogs.

Beautiful dogs in a beautiful place. Very nice.

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.

Very Handsome! Your dogs always look so well groomed. I have to admit to getting more lazy as I've aged--I like the wash and go variety. :bath:

This is there natural appearance. Their fur doesn't need any special treathment, we never do anything about it because their is no need for it. The only thing that needs to be done is that they have to be plucked every seven months approximately (and there are some owners who choose not to do that as well). So, if you are looking for a wash and go kind of dog, don't take one of these since they don't need to be washed. Or combed or what ever. :D :D They are ready to go at all times. :dswink"
