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

Tell us about yourself: Well...it's a transition really. Had my final GSD from 1996 to 2009-she's over the Rainbow Bridge now); then moved over to Belgian Mals. Now I've DS fever looking to get SH silver brindle sib(in my dreams) for my 5 yo Male Mal Razor!

Thanks for having me onboard-I am here to learn all I can about Dutch SHepherds...although after 3.5 yrs of Mals I still wonder if I am really ever going to figure it out!

If I end up at dinner with a Dutch woman at the Cracker Barrel-should she be offended when the waitress asks if we are "going Dutch"? Or should I storm out without paying the bill as I had to eat at the CRACKER Barrel?


Either way I'll end up alone at some "Honky Tonk" chatting with another despondent Peckerwood smoking a Dutchie out back.

Pass the Dutchie!

Oh.....

One more thought.

How many Dutch were offended(and still are) that the "Happy Hooker" was written by Xavier Hollander?
It put Amsterdam on the map in 1971. Man I miss being 9. And that book. 50 shades of what?

OK...I got nothing left..LOL :doh:

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

Okay, I am confused about this Dutchie thing, the term never bothered me, and I was born in Amsterdam, my whole family is over there. I own a copy of the UnDutchables given to me by my (Dutch) mother who didn't like anything about Holland (long story, no time). She thought it was funny, I did not. Oh, well.
So, if the term Dutchie is not PC here in the US, I won't use it either. And, just as a FYI, the UnDutchables was written by someone who was not exactly a fan of Holland, Dutch or not, Dutch people are really not nearly as bad as all that in general. It was all a bit sarcastic and exaggerated if you ask me.
