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.
Someone's ears are perking up...

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.

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

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....

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.

:lol: Yay, musical dogs! One of my dogs is half "Singer" (New Guinea Singing Dog,) and yes, she sings! It's fun, in my house, we'll all do a group howl, then everybody gets cookies! Used to have 3 dogs and it made for quite the chorus! :D You just reminded me it's about time to introduce our new Moko to this tradition! I'll let you know how it goes. ;)

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

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.

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.
