Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.

Eric....please please correct me if I'm not understanding this, but this seems to me to mean that each member can submit one photo---period. So, if you have multiple dogs, you can submit one photo, and if you want all the dogs in it, fine, as long as it's in the single photo.

Is that correct?

Pretty much it.

Just want to keep things simple and not let the rules get out of hand.

Please only post one photo. 1 dog or all your dogs in the same photo doesn't matter. If you have a bunch of extra photo's that you think are good - great - please post them in the photo's section...

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.

Leih, how long did it take for Geyser to build that snowman? Has it got "hair"?

Tell us about yourself: I live in Metro-West Boston with my husband and our rescued Dutch Shepherd, Minnie. She loves anything involving activity. Our first rescued DS, Kaya, loved to tug. Our second rescued DS (who actually turned out to be a GSDx), Marley, loved to nap. I volunteer for the North American Dutch Shepherd Rescue and am a member of the NADSR BOD.

Cheryl - I had forgotten about that photo! Not long after I bought my camera and was still learning (okay - still learning). I remember that weekend you loaned me your long lens and I walked off with it to go play. ;-)
And you brought it back! :mrgreen: :wtg:

OMG! The only time I've built a snowman with Kaya around...well...
1) she kept wanting to pounce on the snow balls as I was building them
2) she kept trying to get at the stick arms
3) she kept trying to eat the carrot nose
4) using dog biscuits for eyes wasn't a really good idea.

(I'd post a photo, but it's against the rules)

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.
