Tell us about yourself: Lifelong animal person- I professionally trained horses before my children were born. New to DS's, but not new to high drive working dogs. :) Currently have a 1 1/2 yr old DS, Koenig, and a 2 yr old English Pointer Sara. They are both rescues. Oh yes, I work at a multi species non-profit animal rescue, on Bainbridge Island, WA
Tell us about yourself: I was introduced to the Dutch Shepherd breed during my time as an Army veterinary technician working with Military Working Dogs. I fell in love with the breed and by pure chance happened to meet a DS in a local rescue who was a police K9 washout and was up for adoption. We adopted Zodiac right away and she has been an important part of our family ever since. We currently compete in Rally-Obedience and participate in Agility.
I saw that posted in a Facebook group and I love it! I've always thought it a shame that there aren't more cool Dutchie designs like there are for GSDs and Mals. I'm going to get one of the black shirts with that design to wear at our next trial.

Love the artwork. Not the "dutchie" label. (but I hate it too when Malinois are called Mali's so that would be my own strange pet peeve, the dislike of diminuatives)
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.
Tell us about yourself: I'm a person who is rally working hard with our dogs in many sports: Oddience, conformation, Sch, agility and Rally-O. I breed standard schnauzer around 20 years. I, also , work with my 4lbs pomeranian girl in those same activities. I dream about a Dutch dog since a saw them in France in a frind house.

But Controlled Chaos? that is PERFECT for my boy, and most of the DS's I know. Sometimes we may be barely under control.... but the chaos is always present.

Tell us about yourself: I like Dutch Shepherddogs, especially the roughcoat. At the moment we have three dogs, two DS (one female who is 10 years and one male who is six months) and one male Laekenois at the age of three. We live in the north of The Netherlands.
Ummmmmm - yeah When I am in MI for our annual "Post Holiday" get together, 2-3 girlfriends and I are going to get a tattoo that we have all wanted for the last 10 years It's a tribal looking DS head, except one of the girls removed the stripes (silly Erica likes blonds). It will be small and discreet....and I could chicken out. But that's the plan.
The running DS on my foot though? I think that will look really neat.

Gutsy!
I know that Ron (who just joined the board) had a tat2 done after his longhair passed away rather unexpectedly and way too young. Meaning that you're not the first and probably not the last one with a brindle tattoo'ed. How do I envision a tribal DS though?
