New from NC

Post by Markay »

Hello,

I am the proud owner of an 9 week old DS named Hank. I've had him for two weeks and he is a ball of energy! I've never had a DS but lots of experience with German Shepherds. I've read quite a bit of the forum already and it's been interesting and enlightening. I'm trying to figure out how to add a picture as my Avatar, until then I've attached some pics below. I'm sure I'll be here often.

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 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!

Welcome to the forum!! One of my closest friends is in Fayetteville, NC (looks like you guys have a gathering there :) ) and she has a Malinois named Hank. She also has a DS rescue that she is fostering.

Where did your handsome man come from? Are you planning to do any specific training with him?

Thanks for the welcome everyone. In answer to the few questions asked: I got him from a reputable breeder of GSD's who I know. I haven't decided yet if I want to do any agility training with him, but as each day passes and his energy level rises I am seriously considering it! He has got to be the smartest, fastest, most inquistitve fearless puppy I have ever seen, I'm amazed. I know I have a lot to learn about the breed and I'm sure I'll have some challenges with him. Someone mentioned the first pic of him, my husband calls him a fruit bat in that picture, lol. Glad I found the forum and again thanks for the welcome.
