Did you see a Dutch Shepherd somewhere? Out in public? On Television? In a movie?

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.

Tell us about yourself: I have a small kennel breeding working line Dutch Shepherds, and just stumbled on this forum while browsing the internet. We train our dogs in police K9 work primarily, with hopes of being able to compete in the near future.

Awesome picture! Back when they were just working dogs or "shepherds".

Very nice! I am not sure (yet) if I would vote for the 'shepherd' label based on this one pic. Something (the leggyness and the deep chest) have me leaning towards sighthound right now, though he/she is pretty stout for that. No fan of the Red Baron for historic reasons (wrong camp) :) but if that is a DS, I am impressed (he must have had good taste then) :mrgreen:

I love that website, BTW. Quite a collection!
