Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hi there, here are a couple of pics of my new Dutchie, Panzer!






Just picked him up yesterday and he's such a joy...and also a monster! lol

awwww how cute!! I love puppies!

I see Panzer had a little windstorm coming form his leftside (ears)
Cute pup!

Oh, what a cutie! don't you just want to squeeze him (after you pry him off of your pant leg ,of course )?

how adorable!! Next windstorm, face him the other way. Monster??? nahh not a dutchie

He already looks all business!
Panzer? German word for tank, who comes up with those names!

He IS a cutie!

Lovely Have lots fun together

Hello "Isis" and Panzer. Would you mind posting a short intro about yourself in 'new member announcements? Nothing aoutreageous, just so we know 'who' you are, please.

Well, if there is breeder out there who names her Dutch shepherd kennel after a city in Germany (Aachen), then maybe this tank came from that breeder?

I like the name! (I'm going by sound here, not so much meaning, tho little tank isn't such a bad reference...)

Welcome, Isis

Thank you for the kind replies! All of the dogs in my house "speak" German, I have Working line German Shepherds and this is my first Dutch Shepherd! The direct translation for Panzer is "armored", although most of us know in conversation that a Panzer would be a German tank. I am very excited about my Dutch Shepherd! He is so much fun and trouble I can hardly stand it! He holds his own with the big dogs and is quite different than the GSD's at least when they were pups.

I will go to the intro thread and introduce myself...sorry about that!!!

While we are splitting hair over German translations, BTW not a smart thing to start with a native German..............

Since the word Panzer is a noun, the direct translation would be armour, shell, or tank.

Dang! He definitely IS a tank!!! Look at that little guy's build, and all that bone. Dang again! Name fits perfect.

Ah, thank you! I didn't know it was a noun, but I did know it meant something like armour or armored. Both of my folks are from Germany and I can understand and speak conversational German, but my grammar isn't always very good.

BTW..I didn't mean to start splitting hairs with you or anyone...I thought I'd explain why I named my Dutch Shepherd such a name, that's all. Sorry If I offended you.

Kein Problem :dswink"

Beautiful pup! Wow I bet he is a handful Fitting name too
