- Tell us about yourself: Hi.....my name is Angela. I have 2 daughters and 1 granddaughter. All of my dogs (and cats) are rescues. I have a puppy that we just adopted that I think could be at least part Dutch Shepherd. We also have a 2 year old pug/min pin mix and an 11 year old border collie and possible lab mix.
Update on Roxie
Clean bill of health. Negative on worms. She weighs 17 pounds, vet says she should be around 20. I was told to give her a little more food and we will check her weight again in a month. Vet says shepherds tend to have trouble gaining weight as puppies sometimes.

- 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

- 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.

Re: Update on Roxie
Do a re-check on worms in a couple of weeks. If the worms are not shedding eggs at the time of the sample then they can't be detected at that time. Sometimes takes several samples to find them!
Glad she isn't ill, but always worth the peace of mind to know for sure!

Re: Update on Roxie
She still isn't acting exactly like a shepherd puppy yet but she acts a little more normal every day. I have no idea what she went through before being brought in to the shelter. Right now she wants our 11 year old dog to play with her!

Re: Update on Roxie
Took her in for the recheck. At almost 5 months old she weighs 24 pounds and the suture reaction has totally resolved. Vet is totally in love with her. Estimates around 50 pounds full grown.

Re: Update on Roxie
Thanks! She's going to be the biggest dog I've ever owned! My GSD weighed 37 pounds. We were told she was either mixed with whippet or a very small individual. Both parents were supposedly GSDs and she was the runt of a very large litter.Dutchringgirl wrote:thats great! 50 LBS is a nice size.
