- 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.

Re: Quirks!
Sadies new thing is she has become a tug-a-holic, so she takes what ever she wants to play tug with and push it on you until you play, or she will hop side to side and playfully growl.
Thalie likes to hold things up, she will hold up my cabinets while sitting, or her head always has to be leaning up against something when she is laying down.

Re: Quirks!
Thalies quirk is her bed.
If there is one thing in life that you want just perfect it would be ??? Thalies one think in life that she wants perfect is her bed. If you carry it to the laundry, she will follow you and look at it with the big brown Thalie eyes. Then she waits for it, it must be done by bed time. If its not she paces around the house, head down, and looks for a suitable place and lays down with a look of " ohh, I guess this will do" Thalie has a bed down stairs and One upstairs next to my bed. She is down to one, since Sadie, the shredder, has shredded both beds. The bed upstairs finaly had to go.... it was a big soft pillow mattress topper that finnaly wasnt pillow soft anymore. I got Thalie a nice new bed, put it upstairs next to mine.. hopped in my bed and waited for my best friend to hunker down next to me... all I got was a big brown Thalie eyed look, head down, "this isnt my old fluffy bed" she sadly walked to the other side of the bed, and plopped down on the wood floor.
Go figure

- 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
