Tell us about yourself: My name is Zachary Peebels I am a proud Alpha for two Dutchies, Rook and Raven.
Raven is trained in cadaver search, drug search, and bite work. She's 2.5 years old and has a crazy tennis ball drive. She is definitely the "stealth bomber" of the household, only vocal when thunder or gunfire is heard. (Or when Rook tries to sneak one of "her" toys.)
Our newest family member, Rook, is 8 months old and has basic obedience training. He recently got to follow Raven during cadaver training and is picking up on her actions well. He's shown a decent ball drive but his food drive is stronger.
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.

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!

I'm not officially committed to SAR yet. In the daytime, I work as an IT Director and Graphic Design Artist. My second job is where I live, the Little Egypt Woodmen Camp on the West Frankfort, IL City Lake. I manage and maintain the grounds and rental of the facilities.
Last Saturday was my first extensive training session with Raven in cadaver search. She does elevated finds great and even got her first submerged find.
Rook is, well, the rookie lol. He has basic obedience and came along to start learning the ropes. He bark signaled on several finds with Raven and is picking up the idea fast.
All of my experience in dogs was 10 years of raising and basic obedience training of Siberian Huskies. Dutchies listen SOOOOOOO much better!
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.

Welcome! And bless your sweet heart for previously training Huskies. Geez, my hat is off to you on that. The rescue Huskies I had through my home, well...what can I say. You've made an about face turn in the right direction as the DS is probably one of the most versatile of dog breeds and they make their trainers look smart!
