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.

Mokume at 5 months (first shot is for you, Aubrey!)

Moko is doing really well of late. Training coming along nicely, health and growth going well. He's 21 weeks old as of yesterday. On Friday he weighed 32.8 pounds, lean and lanky, and his legs and feet are going crazy, :lol: he literally CLOMPS around the house right now, *scuffTHUMP, scuffTHUMP, scuffTHUMP, scuffTHUMP* and he's into everything. Loves to perch on high objects like a cat and looks for any excuse to jump up on anything, cat tree, little pedastal end table, unused doghouse on its side out in the yard. The last time I posted photos Aubrey said she demands more puppy paws so I made sure to get a shot of those! He also loves to roll around on his back on the floor and "grin" showing off all of his big-boy teeth in the front. :)

We had a thaw and all the snow melted, so the big-field shots were showing off his ninja stealth skills with his Dutch Camo! Can you find the pup in the grass? Snow is all back, now, though, along with a bitter cold snap! brrrrr!

I've been crazy-busy so haven't posted as much, recently, but will try to catch up some more in a bit.

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.

Actually closing in on 6 months, soon! How the time is flying! Got a few more photos to add... I'll try to do a more updatey post soon, I haven't been on much of late, life has been crazed, not not in a bad way... just almost never a moment to hang out online. :) Moko is coming along nicely... we go and romp in the big field at Uncle Joe's daily and work on recall and other training fun, he's also discovered the joys of round bales... he LOVES these things. He likes to charge at the bale, fly up the side of it, and then survey his domain, "King of the Mountain" style! Then he launches himself off of it to race around the field like a crazy dog and play tag with Maiyou and/or my son, get his yeehaws out, then back up to his perch again.

He used to be able to walk under Maiyou's belly, now he's as big as her...

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

TD played king of the mountain all the time = always sought the high ground whether steps, rocks, hill, haylofts, etc I know the attitude and behavior precisely.
