New member & my first Dutch Shepherd

Post by KristinC »

Hi All,

I've never owned a DS before and look forward to to learning more about this wonderful breed.

Meet Z. He is 14 weeks old now. Here is a photo from today.

I would like to be able to train him for personal protection and I look forward to joining a training group and having some fun learning with him.

I'm hoping to find some good tips here and welcome any advice on DS & raising puppies.

Tell us about yourself: I'm Keith, 28 years old born and raised outside Chicago. I adopted Duke, the Dutch Shepherd from a Chicago foster based rescue. Duke had an unfortunate first 2 months of his upbringing but he's been a prince around here ever since.

Healthy, happy, energetic, and super social.
