Hi from Alabama!
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rita, and I'm a police officer in a small city in Alabama. I'm also a paramedic (did that full time for a few years, now just part time). I've got two "kids", a mini Australian Shepherd named Dixie. She's a year and a half old, and I've had her since she was a tiny pup. My most recent addition is Kato. He's a 4 month old Dutch Shepherd. I acquired him from kind of a weird situation, and I've got a ton of questions, but I'll save that for another thread. Anyways, looking forward to meeting y'all

Re: Hi from Alabama!
Long story short (the "longer" story is posted in "whatever"), I've got an approximately 4 month old Dutch Shepherd puppy who has not been socialized. At all. He was afraid of people when I first met him (the first puppy I've ever met who tried to get as far away from me as possible when I first met him). He was chained up to a fence at the "trainer" (the guy I purchased him from), with a piece of plywood for a doghouse. The breeder had not even played with him, brought him inside, or introduced him to people. He didn't even know what to do do with a dog toy when I brought him home. I had to keep him outside for the first two days, because he was so afraid of being inside that he simply cowered in the furthest corner of a hallway and completely shut down. He's doing much better now, though....

- 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.
