Seems Harvey is perking up a bit after being here for a week. He's also become quite the popular pup in the neighborhood but he's a looker so no surprise.
Seems the more chew toys he uses the more his ears perk up.

- 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

Re: more Harvey pics
At 8 month's he was 29 lbs last Friday when he was weighed. He seems bigger in his pics though.
He's also in trouble right now, he chewed up my boot laces while I was getting ready for work. Just figure I can't leave without them....

Re: more Harvey pics
I bought Harvey another of the wounded warrior project dog toys since he's all but desqueaked the first one... spent 8 hours listening to this.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10 ... 568&type=3
Hour 5 of operation super squeaker.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10 ... 568&type=3
Hour 8 when he finally called it quits and went to grab his blanket (spoiled pup has his own blanket he carrys around)
8 hours later (with a 2 mile run break in the middle he's finally called down.

Re: more Harvey pics
the squeaky toy video got my pups all riled up and circling the computer to make a kill. had to repeat it for the thrill of it.
TraceDog was a big fan of folk music of any variety, nationality, etc. liked a lot of music, but always sought out folk if heard it while out exploring.
he was also quite the singer, though in the last couple years, his voice deteriorated, so his singing was less complex, less beautiful, and less frequent, but his last good attempt at recreating his singing past i managed to catch on video -- and when i played it back on tv at home, he made a duet with himself. a video of that is posted [ 7th or 8th down from the top] at www.youtube.com/tracesobaka

Re: more Harvey pics
Haha, thanks awesome! I played it for Harvey and he just gave me a look like, "I've gotta step it up!"...
One of the coolest things I've seen/heard was our MWDs howling to the, "call to prayer" in the middle east. It's the most beautiful/haunting things I've ever experienced.

Re: more Harvey pics
He is SUCH a handsome pup! 
Love those ears.
On the musical dog topic, we did our first group howl with Moko the other day! He has a very nice singing voice! *lol* He even shot a sideways look at Maiyou and tried to imitate her modulation after his initial wolf-howl styled song.
Fun stuff!
I read your post about the military dogs and the call to prayer to my fiancee, himself a Marine and iraq war veteran, and asked if he'd heard that. He shook his head and said he hadn't but he can imagine it and it must have been something!

This is the closest I could find, just replace those pups with some dutchies and malinois pups. It's something I'll never forget.
On a lighter note his ears are standing more and more as the days go on and he's already at 34 lbs while still looking sort of skinny, atleast to me. Then again Im used to our hounds that were chunky pups and grew into it.
