We recently lost our 13 year old, beloved, brindle shepherd Travis. We know his mom was a shepherd, but don't know what dad was. He was the most lovely, intelligent, intuitive companion and would learn to do anything in 15 minutes. He had the temperment of a saint and even let our daughters teeth on his ears.
Now we are stepping back into the world of puppies. We are a family of 4 and enjoy working with puppies and training them into well behaved members of the family and community. Our daughters like to teach lots of tricks. We are considering a rescue now, but have an application in at NADSR. Our new family member would be an inside dog with lots of time to run in the dog run, on the beach and jog in the park. I am enjoying reading all of the enthusiastic and intelligent posts!

- Tell us about yourself: Had a DS mix. He passed away from a nasal tumor at 13 years. He was the most amazing animal. So intuitive. Looking to adopt another young DS 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

Welcome to the forum and sorry for your loss.
What a sweet face your Travis has. Love the markings.
Hoping you find your next brindle bundle of joy soon.
