Hi! I have what I think due to best guesstimates is a Dutch mix. I got her from the pound when she was 8 weeks old, she's now 3 and displays a lot of Dutch Shepherd characteristics, although I know she's a mix because I met her mum.
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.
Tell us about yourself: Dogs are my life, what can I say. GSDs primarily for nearly 50 years til bringing in my first DutchShep about 4 years ago.

Mostly herding training at present on my little farm.

I'm a 25 year old professional woman working on the central coast of California, San Luis Obispo area. I live with my 2 dogs, Kona and Cyrus (who is indeed a Chessie) and a cat. We love going out to the beach for a swim or a run, hanging out in the yard doing yard work... The typical stuff. No kids or significant other to speak of at the time.
It's so nice to see so many pretty dogs on here! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Haha yeah they do the "Laser Gang" look quite often. I think it stems from them staring at the camera!
I'm going to try and get better pictures of her tomorrow... she needs a bath and some sunlight.
She's really a terrible dog to photograph, she's always moving, ducks when she sees the camera, and her face is so dark you can't usually tell where her nose is unless we're in direct sunlight. Goofy girl.
