Tell us about yourself: I'm a police officer in the US that has some experience with training for Schutzhund. I've never owned a dutch shepherd and will be getting a puppy in the middle of October.
My fiance (got engaged last week) and I just got home from picking up our new puppy. We drove to West Virginia to pick him up. He's just shy of nine weeks old. We picked him up from Logan Haus Kennels. He's definitely a little character. He likes to bite everything and is very intelligent.We decided to name him "Nero". It seems to fit his personality quite well. I'll post more pictures in the future as he gets bigger.
Tell us about yourself: Hi there. I WILL be a new Dutch Shepherd owner on July 20th!!! Puppies are on the ground and a huge litter at 14! Very excited. I chose the Dutch because I like high drive dogs and my husband likes shepherds. We both have had GSDs in our past. I also am interested in search and rescue training. I live in the mountains of California and have two older Australian Shepherds. I do know that I have a job managing this pack. My husband is on board with it all. No kids. Both of us have flexible jobs. We are active folk but aging! ;-)) Still we mountain bike, hike, cross-country ski and my husband runs. I walk in the woods with the dogs 3 times a day and we are lucky to have US Forest right out the door. So that is it.
Adorable! I am in Harpers Ferry area myself. I wish you luck with Nero, we just got our first Dutchie ourselves and are amazed daily at her intelligence and drive! Are you planning any training routes at all?
