Hello from South Carolina
My son-in-law is in the air force, K9 . He knew I wanted a great dog and through his friends found me a 8 week old female dutch shepherd. I have had her 3 days and is doing great with housetraining. Sugar is my dream dog and I want to train her correctly. I have a shepherd mix that compleated obediance class a year ago. I plan to start Sugar with sit, watch me, down etc. I would love advice from anyone here. I know different breeds have certain quirks . How would you begin a pup?

- 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.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year! - Location: Corinth, New York
