Let's just say that your post on Owners of Dutch Shepherds about the dog going for the neck isn't an isolated incident, and while I could not pull out the specifics on the trigger or if it was a stand alone incident, let's just say it was not a shock considering the lines your pup comes from.
Maybe you could send me a pm and tell me what I can anticipate in the future from my pup. By the way, he didn't go for the neck of the other dog. He just grabbed a hold of it on its back, pretty much square in the center, and wouldn't let go.

If I am not mistaken the dog should be trying to attack people by now. It will get worse without a trainer's intervention and returning the dog will not get you a less aggressive one from the breeder. The dog is doing what it's genetics tell it to do and what it's bred to do. I am more than happy to tell you over PM what I know of your dog's lines.

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.

Update as of today? Great looking Dutch, I agree with you being firm and not being coercive with corrections on commands he hasn't learned fully yet, that crrates confusion. Post up, I'm curious
