I would love to hear where everyone got their DS from? Thoughts on breeder?

Re: Where did you get your DS
Thalie, who is now 16, was an import from France, I was doing Ringsport and I already had a Mal that was an import from France, the mal was already here and being trained by my trainer when I got him. Sadie I got from North American Dutch Shepherd Rescue.

Re: Where did you get your DS
We got Brodie from Sentry K9 located in Spring, TX. I think all he has are DS. As a matter of fact he just had a litter. He has a FB page that he shares pics of the dogs before and after they find homes.

- Tell us about yourself: I'm a first time DS owner... And now a lifetime owner of the breed. I have Karma.. she's almost 2 now and is incredible. Great protection dog for my family and the most athletic dog I've ever witnessed.
Re: Where did you get your DS
I got Karma from Alphak9kennels in South Carolina. The owner was a nice older man but I think he prides himself on having very hard working lines. Not the best for everyone but fit perfectly for what my family needed. Best dog I've ever had bar none. I believe the breeder is downsizing now due to some health issues but still breeds some. Alot of his buyers are police and sheriff departments.

Re: Where did you get your DS
I got Radar from Miami-Dade Animal Services (County Shelter).
I understand the desire (and, sometimes need) to pay for and get a dog from a breeder, but I hope that rescue is at least a consideration.
Based on a lot of posts I see on Facebook, there seems to be a lot of Dutch Shepherds in the shelters.
Also, hopefully you took a moment to read the post on How To Select/Research a Breeder. I posted it, but it was compiled by a very knowledgeable member of the forum.

Re: Where did you get your DS
I’m so glad you posted that link because after reading what you wrote I was worried. When we got Brodie we got a ‘Purchase Agreement’ we had to sign and medical records from the vet showing everything that was mentioned in your link. Thank you for posting that.centrop67 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 12:51 pm I got Radar from Miami-Dade Animal Services (County Shelter).

Re: Where did you get your DS
I will not be doing police work. Although, I live a very active life style and love training dogs. I go camping and hiking a lot so I’m looking for a great companion that I can’t take very far in obedience training.Wes Thomas wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 12:40 pm I got Karma from Alphak9kennels in South Carolina.

Re: Where did you get your DS
No, they are not related. They just both happen to be imports, The Mal was already with my trainer when we all met and started working with him. A year later, We imported ThalieDedicated2Dogs wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 4:03 pmVery cool to import the family like that!Dutchringgirl wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 10:49 am Thalie, who is now 16, was an import from France, I was doing Ringsport and I already had a Mal that was an import from France, the mal was already here and being trained by my trainer when I got him.

Re: Where did you get your DS
They are great for long hikes and camping, in Thalies younger days she would come mountain biking with me and we would be out all day.Dedicated2Dogs wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 4:07 pmI will not be doing police work.

Both my male and female were imported from Holland through the help of my breeder, but a middle man does get pricey just a heads up!

Re: Where did you get your DS
My Gypsy was a stray that was extremely malnourished and so obviously abused by how skittish and scared she was. Now a happy and loved brat!!

Re: Where did you get your DS
Rogue came from a breeder in California who’s family has breed K9 Germans and Dutches for years. Her father was imported from Holland and mother is here.
