- 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.

This is proof that Tygo can become possessed by other worldly or not worldly spirits. Those eyes... green... obvious sign. I'm sorry I had to share this with you, but you should know of the possibility. While everyone focuses on Zombies.... the DS are slowly infiltrating our families. Terrible.

- 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

Re: Disturbing Image - Possession
i love this ! i think DEEEEP snow is the trigger that activates the creature lingering inside our DS.
we only get such deep snow on fairly rare occasions out this way.... but when we do it is soooo much fun watching the dogs navigate it and explore it. does Tygo leap vertically to advance through the deep stuff or does he try to plow forward through it?

- 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

ha ha, I love it!!! The kids wish we got that much snow here and I'm sure the dogs would have a blast in it!

Re: Disturbing Image - Possession
John, yes he is quite a sight in the snow. He seems so light and does the vertical thing... and then burrowing for good sticks. I have some video but have not figured out a way to post that easily. (Ps. John Tracer and Tygo are only 20 days apart... Tygo 5-24-13)
Just did some desensitization with prong collar and light hold and hotdogs with my neighbor dude on his powerful snowmobile. This is not that hard as Tygo is pretty solid with any machine. Then with his dogs who are always loose but generally do not like Tygo's puppy energy and keep a distance if possible. Of course Tygo especially loves dogs that hate him. But boy that prong gets his attention and I do not have to do much... I just let him self correct (if that is the right term). So far so good on that front. I made him sit calmly near the big dog and just focus and treated. He can do it but given a choice.... mosh pit at a punk rock concert would be his preference.
And yes, while Tygo loves snow, I totally do too. The more the better. 3 years ago I had 10 feet in my backyard. We have had two very dry years so I hope the snow gods smile generously on us this year. This was our first winter storm of substance.
It feels like a holiday today!

- Tell us about yourself: I used top be terrified of dogs as a kid. But I met a German Shepherd named Sheba and have been into dogs since I was 12, now I'm 32 and have successfully handled many of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I titled my first dog Sport, a mixed breed, in agility and then got into schutzhund. I got to work with working bred GSDs and loved them. After Sport died I was offered a young Dutch Shepherd named Allie (short for alligator!). I adopted her and fell in love with the breed. I rescued several Dutchies after that and then Allie was killed tragically by irresponsible veterinary staff. About 4 months later I rescued a pathetic emaciated 1 yr old Dutchie named "Phantom". With just some food, water and love he sprang from his listless phantom self and I named him Logan. Now he is my 8 yr old hardcore PITA!!!! :D
