Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

It was in the mid-90's here and Cino was laying upside down in the middle of the struggling flower bed... I tried to sneak into the house to get my camera but he moved as I opened the door...

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.

Eric - I hate that when they are doing something and you want to take a pic and then they move before you can.

Lisa, now THAT is funny! I can just read her mind, "just wait, one day, one day, mom, I will get you back!"

Heather, dont you participate in dock dogs? I would love to do that. My DS isnt fond of water but I have a mini-Aussie who loves water so much he digs in the toilet if the lid is up!! And he isnt afraid of anything new so thinking of trying dock dogs. Love that picture!!
