Radar

I don't know Radar's previous life, but I do know that he came to me with some basic training including house, leash, and the sit command.

He also had a bad accident - a large and severe chemical burn on his left side. I pray that it's an accident, because the alternative of abuse makes me lose faith in humanity.

As you can see the hair is starting to grow back in, and the scar will likely be unnoticeable as he grows older.

I did not know what I was getting when I saw his face on the Miami-Dade Shelter website, but I knew I had to meet him, and I knew in an instant that he was coming home with me. Oh, and someone hand-wrote "Awesome Dog" on his paperwork in front of his stall at the shelter - the only dog there with a hand-written note.

I am pretty sure he's a Dutch - they labeled him as a Shepherd-Mix - but he certainly matches everything I've learned about the breed.

A big thanks to this forum community for all this wonderful information!

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

Truly a very handsome boy! :)
I'm glad he found you. I also love the look on his face in this photo, he absolutely looks like he's about to say something! :lol:
