Tell us about yourself: My name is Sarah and my Dutch Shepherd is Gunner! She is just a little over 5 months old and loves to play with her cousin, Kilo, a GSD. She also loves to jog with me, go for hikes in the forest and play fetch with her trusty tennis ball. She is the best thing to come home to...plus my husband! Currently, we are going through training with her to understand as much as we can about her and the breed.

Hello from Ontario, Canada

Post by GunnersMom »

Gunner has been the best addition to our family! She is just over 5 months old and we are in love. This is our first DS so we are still learning...and she is too. We work with her everyday and try to have her introduced to new faces (people and fuzzy ones), places and things all the time. She loves car rides and playing with other dogs (any dog that will be her playmate she will take!). Her manners are not the greatest with other dogs because of her LOVE to play...the small ones and older ones don't understand this ball of energy licking their faces. She loves to go for hikes with her cousin Kilo (a GSD) and fetch anything you will throw for her (preferably a tennis ball).
We are excited to learn from all of the great experiences (and maybe the not so great ones too??) I am sure everyone here has had with these amazing dogs!

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!

Tell us about yourself: I live in a small town outside Ottawa Ontario. We were just given a three-month old puppy that was being starved and abused in the home it was in. I've just received a tip that he looks just like a dutch shepherd and looking at the pictures, I'm sure they are right. I've had him just a week but he is a very sweet, smart boy. He's coming out of his shell with much love and has put quite a bit of weight on already.

She's gorgeous! I have a three or four-month-old. Let me know if you are near Ottawa - we can have our two play together. :)

Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.

Sounds like a lucky pup! She's so cute!

(Just remember not to leave her with any tennis balls when you're not playing with her, since the surfaces get all gritty and then are great at wearing down their teeth...kind of like sandpaper.)

Yes! I believe they are bro and sis! Awww what a cute pair. Their daddy was quite the boy so I'm sure you're going to have a big handsome man on your hands!

Hi Heather! We are closer to Toronto (but not City dwellers!). We will definately let you know if we are ever out that way...Gunner would love another playmate. Same goes to you...if you are ever near us let us know!
