Tell us about yourself: My family and I are first time Dutch Shepherd owners. We recently purchased Mae from a breeder in GA. We are enjoying her very much! She is 15 weeks now and so so smart! When she is older I hope to have her as my new running partner, and my husband hopes to do agility with her. :-)

Hi everyone,

I just joined the forum and I am a new Dutch Shepherd owner. My husband and I recently purchased our puppy from a breeder in Georgia. She is now 15 weeks. We sadly had to put our Boxer to sleep at a young age due to bad hips and luxating patellas (he was a rescue.) We miss him very much :cry: . We researched many different breeds, but Dutch Shepherds have always had my attention. We really wanted a breed that is super active, highly trainable, and isn't known for having many health issues; the Dutch Shepherd dog seemed like an amazing fit. We have had Mae since April 10, 2011, and are loving it. We are working on her mouthiness, though. When she older I hope to have her as my new running partner, and my husband would love to do agility with her. :)

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.

Hi there!
Welcome to the group!

Where in GA are you located? We are in Cooekville, TN which is only 3 hours from Atlanta and just over an hour from Chattanooga (which I know is still TN, but it's right on the GA boarder and I am geographically challenged!! What breeder in GA did you get your kid from??

We always LOVE to see pictures, so please do share.

Also, as Leih mentioned, we alway appreciate knowing the posters name as well as the pet's! Its an easy thing to add to your signature!

Thanks again fro joining!

Tell us about yourself: I have had a DS for almost a year. Gwen and I are considering participating in PSA and or possible Ring Sport. I also have a Great Dane. I have grown up around working GSDs and my last GSD was a working K9 officer. I am all about dogs and animals in general and want to learn as much as I can about training.
