Facebook page.My wife and I are relatively new DS owners, and since my wife already did a good job of telling the story here I'll refrain from telling it all again here.
Obviously, I am now a big fan of the DS and he's been a true blessing that has brought so many smiles, laughs, and great fun to our lives. I look forward to sharing experiences with you all.

- 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.

Make you smile, yes...and shake your head. Sometimes simultaneously.
Though I can only hope to become the person who my animals believe I am, the things that they have taught me have made me a better human being. ~~~Sharon~~~

Re: hello
Sorry if the link didn't work correctly, the long form is http://www.dutchshepherdforum.com/viewt ... f=11&t=843, and yup that's Ku. As for shake my head and pull my hair, he does all of those things but it's part of what makes him so fun. I find his drive and intelligence challenges me, and I get to challenge him back, so we get to grow together.

- Tell us about yourself: I have five dogs: Alex, a chow mix who is now about 14, and four Dutch shepherds (all rescued DS): Ku (Hawaiian God of War), Kane (sounds like "Kahnay"; Hawaiian God of the Sun), Kanaloa (Hawaiian God of the Sea) and Kapua (Hawaiian gods of mischief - the Mischief Makers). Alex is our cheerleader and keeps the 4 DS in line. Three of the DS currently compete in DockDogs and we are trying to convince Lo that water is not evil. Our team name is Hawaiian by Heart which comes from the old joke by my husband that he is "Dutch by blood, Hawaiian by Heart." Our main goal is to promote having fun with your dog (and by doing so becoming partners) and supporting the rescue of the wonderful animals out there in need of homes.
We lost our big lady, Kelley, in May 2012 to cancer and she joins several other angel dogs who are now watching over us. - Location: Denver, Colorado
