New owner of a beautiful DS/Mal rescue. I adopted her from a shelter that listed her as a Shepherd Mix and at the time I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into. I grew up with a GSD and knew that I wanted another one, so when I saw this little black-masked girl I just thought she was a odd colored and underweight GSD. I didnt even know of these other breed possibilities before she came into my life. In the past few months I have definitely learned the difference!
I dunno, maybe she's a Dutch, maybe she's a Mal, either way she is half-Nuts.She was the cutest/calmest/quietest dog in the shelter. Not shy, but just quiet. She accepted my male husky/shar-pei mix pretty quickly as they shared a few chicken mcnuggets on the ride home. (I know, i know, its not a regular treat at all. Its just my traditional "jail-break" treat I stop for when bringing past 3 dogs home from the pound.) After being in my home for 48 hours the true beast came out!
She is prey-FREAK! Very fun and loving and great with all people she meets. But anything with four legs is lunch (along with butterflies, mosquitos and rain-drops.) Her obedience has been fast to learn, but even faster to forget everything in the face of distractions. I would venture to say she has A.D.D. to stay polite about it. My 3rd trainer, a reputable GSD breeder called her "bitch on drugs" with a laugh 
; and she actually loves him (thank God). Trainer #2, a K9 cop got fired after she bit him for being stupid. And #1, a K9 cop quit because she bit his new Canine Good Citizen assistant (leash was in trainers hand not mine, I told him not to underestimate her). She has really kept me on my toes for the past few months, and I am looking forward to further training and calm rituals before seeking sports etc. I hope to get some good feedback and advice here. Sarcastic humor is welcome as long as its received well.
Its a pleasure to meet you; ladies, gentlemen and beasts.
