Hey everyone my name's chris I was raised around dogs since i was a kid..my dad had a farm in the south of france and had boxer kennel..moved to US in 1993 and lived with a friend of my moms who had 6 dogs 2 GSD's I liked the breed and became a fan of working dogs..I was never scared of dogs until i met someone in 2003 who had 2 dutch shepherds I didnt know what kind of dog they were at first but knew they were special some spark about them made them different..his male was very aggressive he told me not to put my fingers near the fence or i would loose them.. his female was always wanting to play with the ball or anything she could find for that matter(rocks, leafs, paper, socks etc 
.. she could play fetch all day but not like a lab or other dog which would be goofy about it no she was serious she would look at me like you better play with me and if i ignored her she would bark and poke me with her muzzle..I was still scared of her because she could turn civil in a second..so move foward a few years I ended up getting a puppy from him..a female dark brindle I absolutely wanted a dog like her mom..instead a got a female version of her dad high intensity high energy not very social but the ball drive of her mom..i then got with the trainer my friend was training his DS's with and started doing decoy work for him since he was a french ring guy for 20 years but now does more civil/protection training..so now ive been training dogs since 2007..I have 2 DS (Mini-Me and Gazoo) and a mali (Krash) I put my mali in there because i believe they are very similar..I dont agree with people who say they are the same dog they are very similar but not the same and I prefer the DS any day(my wife likes the mali's we'll leave her out of this
