Tell us about yourself: K9 handler in AZ working Dutch Shepherd named Lotus

Hello from Arizona

Post by coyotesfan97 »

I'm a K9 Handler from Arizona working a Dutchie named Lotus. The car not the flower. :lol: We've worked together one year. I worked a Malinois before but Lotus is a hoot! I've been lurking for awhile and finally got my act together and posted.

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.

Thanks all.

@Marjolein, I'm not sure of hs lineage. I'll have to look through his paperwork but I don't remember seeing the lines. He has a big head, short muzzle, and big jowls. I'll post a better pic To show that.

I have people compare him to a jackal, a hyena, or a dingo. I see from reading other posts that's pretty common.

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!
