Hi there, from Ontario :)
Hi all. Just thought I'd say a quick hello. My husband and I adopted our pup in September from the Humane Society. People have told us he's a shepherd crossed with a great dane and many other things. After googling quite a bit, I'm pretty sure he's a Dutch Shepherd. He is a wonderful dog, full of energy and very protective of me especially.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
He certainly looks Dutch to me. Thank you for rescuing and saving a life! We would love to hear all about your guy's adventures! I love that second picture.

Re: Hi there, from Ontario :)
Thanks guys and gals. We decided on adopting a dog when my husband started with his military training and was going to be away for almost 6 months (he comes back today). The first time we went to the humane society we met with a small shepherd cross that was a little too hyper but very sweet. Maverick was in the holding area that we couldn't go into because he was a new rescue. All we saw was his right ear and eye, he was watching us very closely. The next day I went to the website and saw him on there as up for adoption, so we went straight over and met him. We took him for a nice walk and spent some time with him, we knew he was our dog pretty much right away. He was already partly trained and learned his new name very quickly. He was pretty timid at first and still is a little shy of loud noises but he's getting better and better every day. He has separation anxiety, so I feel bad when I have to leave him to go to work but he's always very happy to see me home. He's a pretty awesome dog We have a baby on the way and we've had Maverick around other babies and kids and he is just perfect with them, so we know he'll be good with our new addition in June. I posted a couple more pics in the pic forum for everyone to see. Thanks again for the welcomes.
Oh and that second pic is of his headless duck, he seemed to think it made a better toy without the head, haha.

- 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. - Location: Victoria BC

Re: Hi there, from Ontario :)
Where abouts in Ontario are you if you dont mind me asking? I am in Niagara Falls and that kinda looks like a dog the spca here had for adoption. I emailed them to let them know they had a dutch shepherd on their hands, not a GSD mixed with Dane and they blew me off...they did this to me again when they had a Malinois listed as a Shepherd lab mix... I was pretty interested in him myself if its even the same dog

Re: Hi there, from Ontario :)
I'm in Kitchener. I hear that the spca and humane society always just says dogs are mixed and then many times they actually happen to be a full breed of some sort. Sure would have been a small world if you were in the same area looking at the same dog.lincoln_16 wrote:Where abouts in Ontario are you if you dont mind me asking?

Re: Hi there, from Ontario :)
Here the spca charges almost double for dogs who are "purebred", I dont really agree with it but thats what they do.
Your not far from me tho
