Hello from Florida!

Post by KetchamCrew »

We are the Ketcham family and we are going to be adding a dutch shepherd puppy to our family soon. My brother already has a male who is almost a year old and we are in love with the breed. We are looking forward to coming to this community for help with questions and as a source of information as we raise our puppy.

We were set to get a puppy from Aachen Dutch Shepherds but there are a lot of posts on here that are not so positive. So...we may be rethinking...

Lots of us have rescued DSes that are fantastic, so it's worth checking out NADSR to see if they have a dog that will work with your family.

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.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!
