- Tell us about yourself: I recently adopted a mixed breed puppy - 1/2 Golden Retriever (dam) and 1/2 Dutch Shepherd (sire). I did not know much about Dutch Shepherds when I adopted her. She is 11 weeks old now (I've had her a little over 2 weeks. I have a consultation with a trainer tonight, and another consultation on 2/6 with a trainer who said he'd be able to give me a good idea of her temperament. I'm here to gain knowledge about this particular breed.
New to DS!
Hello. I recently adopted a mixed breed puppy. The owner says she's half DS and half Golden Retriever. I'm completely new to the DS breed. I've read up on them now and so I know there's some work ahead. Not sure which personality will be dominant -- DS or GR. I'll post better pics in the other thread 'Is my dog a DS''. But here's one of her laying down. Let me know what you think! I've set up an appointment Thursday for puppy foundation training and then will enroll in group obedience training. The trainer has a 30 years of experience with working breeds. That's good...cuz I don't know what I'm doing...
