Re: Where is the dang on OFF SWITCH!!!!!!
She is actually laying next to me! She is laying on her back with her feet up in the air squeaking a squeaky that she stole from my Terra lol! Man I just love them. The energy is amazing and I wouldn't change her for the world. I tried to sneak a little blue one into the back of my jeep the other night while my husband was working on drug detection with another dog heehee! I thought I was being really good at sneaking her in the cage with Raven when I heard......."Don't even think about it" he hadn't even turned around WTH does he have eyes in the back of his bald head!
I don't think I should be limited in the amount of dutches I have.....LMAO

Re: Where is the dang on OFF SWITCH!!!!!!
haha, I know how you feel, I found my off switch with ball(s). Took forever to get my dog to actually get tennis balls.. until one day I bought a kong ball and it bounced so high in the air he took off after it. Now it seems I can't throw them long enough but it's the stimulation he needs to be ok at night

Re: Where is the dang on OFF SWITCH!!!!!!
Right now, Sadies off switch is broken. The weather is cooler and as soon as I let them in after breakfast its crazy mad running through the house. The ears dont seem to be working either, there is major sensory malfunctions. Usually me saying "COUCHE!!!" stops them dead in their tracks, so far, nothing. Just some hair flying and these strypy things zooming past.

Re: Where is the dang on OFF SWITCH!!!!!!
"Hey" along with a snap of the fingers is used in my household as well. And as far as the 'crazy' installed, well, Zip has an overdose. Even at 7 years old, if left outside in the yard to her own device, she is the energizer bunny who has lifetime batteries. She will pace and pace and pace. Now we are talking about a half acre yard. Did I say, Zip would pace?!
Not very funny though because she will not stop, ever, so she definitely does not have the genetic intolerance for exercise. Therefore, I have to keep her crated or in her bedroom just keep weight on her. Thank goodness Gris, the DS/GSDx, has an off switch!

Re: Where is the dang on OFF SWITCH!!!!!!
LOL! Poor yard probably has pace marks in it! Raven gallops around the yard chasing EVERYTHING! Her latest thing is rolling my westie as she runs over her......usually on rainy muddy days.....I don't have to tell you all about how white fur and mud don't mix.....

- 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
