Facebook page.Hello Everyone and thank you for existing! I recently rescued a dog and become more convinced daily that she is a beloved Dutchie. Before adopting, I had my suspicions and did my research on the breed. NOTHING, I read prepared me for this. Nothing. Frankly, had I found this forum prior to adopting, I may have thought the breed's requirements detailed in some really great posts were an exaggeration. Three months in and I think I have found people who understand me! I have already found some really great information here and I am excited to learn more!
Happy to have a support group!

Re: Donna B and Phoebe Join the Mix
What are you seeing with her?
Beamble's DNA result showed she isnr DS, but one of the biggest hints I got while we thought she was, is to treat her like a working dog. She needs a purpose for her intensity.

Re: Donna B and Phoebe Join the Mix
Thanks for your response! I was just trying to get her to look at the camera. I have just been floored by how much energy she has. I did not realize anything on this level existed. I previously had a GSD so somewhat familiar wth working breeds, but this is a whole new arena.

Welcome to the forum. Yes, endless energy is a trait of this breed. Mental stimulation is key on top of exercise.

LOL I must be hardheaded and stubborn.

Yep. If our dutchie dosn't get his exercise, his digestion gets hung up.
Good to see you here.
