Dutch Shepherd Forum

My name is Inge and I live at the Netherlands.
I've got two female dogs.
Marouck, a dutch shepherd. She's 8 years old.
Biène, a Malinois. She's 5 years old.

Inge,

Welcome to the group!

Welcome, Inge!

Hope to see some pics of your dogs .

What do you do with them?

Hoi Inge!!
Welcome to our brindle family.

I did IPO with Marouck, but we stopped a few years ago. She's got IPO1.
With Biène I train KNPV. She's got a certificate of a new program within the KNPV, basiscertificaat zoekhonden (search dog).
Now we train PH1, but more recreative, she's not good enough for the certificate (her biting is not good enough).

I don't think I ever really noticed before, but your DS Marouck sure has some good sized ears!
I love that expression. "Can I get up now?"

It sounds like your dogs get to do lots of fun things with you!

Your mal sure has coloration that reminds me of GSDs. I know they have sable mals (I guess this is one?).

They're both beautiful .

Thanks!

Here's a picture of Marouck on a dogmeeting last week.


She found a doll


And this is Biène, searching


And a picture of the love of my life.....Nika, who I had to put to sleep a year ago

GREAT pics...and so sorry about the loss of your little one. That always sucks.

I love Rouck's doll, even though it does not seem to be a water appropriate toy.
How long has it been since you lost Nika now? Do I rember that your boxer (Nika) got you into the Dutch Shepherds? (because fo the brindle?)

Mmmh, I think we've met before... ah yeah I remember! Last week my dog started chewing on yours (Ivil and Rouck are NOT friends...)

But that's all in a name....... Why would anyone call their dog 'evil' and not expect her to misbehave like that.

actually, she was not named Evil, but Evel, after, yup, Knievel, and yes, she broke her leg My next dog will be called always-biting-like-a-tiger-brave-good-looking-guard-dog-of-the-century-that-has-no-hunting-ambitions-or-clumsiness.

It's been a year now (august 10).
Nika's poor health was the reason to look for a breed that was more healthy. And I wanted a dog with whom I could work (from agility to KNPV). During my search for a breed that would be suited, I fell in love with the Dutch Shepherd. (I don't know if my english is readable LOL)

Your English is just fine! (and quite a bit better than some of the Dutch not spoken here)
