Welcome Mike. Any plans to add a brindle to your private herding group?

- 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

Re: New Member to here.
I am sorry for the slow response. I am planning on adding a Dutch Shepherd to the family.vneerland wrote:Welcome Mike. Any plans to add a brindle to your private herding group?
When I signed up on the forum(November 2011) my mind was in distress over some very bad news about my German Shepherds(Ozzy) health. He was diagnosed with an untreatable cancer and he died a few weeks ago at the age of 7.
I wasn't sure that I wanted to get another dog until recently. Our Malinois is acting like she got older since Ozzy is gone and she is only 7. He was clearly the instigator of a lot of the fun things that went on in our house and he was a true companion in every sense of the word, for us and our little girl Malinois.

Re: New Member to here.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Way too early to go.......
This darn cancer, I lost a Lab to bone cancer in June 2010. But he was over 12. I thought, I would loose his lifelong buddy (also Lab about same age) but then I rescued a DS and he perked up quite a bit.
In our case, the 'new addition' was the best theraphy, for both of us.

Sorry to hear about Ozzy. I also lost a dog to cancer at a young age, but it's never easy.

Re: New Member to here.
So very sorry for your loss.
I know the timing of getting a pup after such a loss is a very individual thing, but for me, after the loss of my own GSD, the hole in my heart didn't even begin to heal until I got my DS pup, 18 long months later.
Whatever timing works for you, we'll be here and happy to learn all about the newest member of your family

Re: New Member to here.
Very sad to read this story, it's hard to loose your dog like this. Nice photo from your dog.

Re: New Member to here.
LOL. All of a sudden thinking about the large number of people (not into dogs) who think a Dutch Shepherd is a GSD that came from Holland. 
I doubt Mike is one of them, but this crossed my mind, Leih, when you said "no DS".
