Hi from Northern Illinois
We are the parents of Skout, our 2 1/2 year old Dutch Shepherd. We recently just moved here from sunny South Florida. Our dog keeps us busy and moving. We have never exercised so much in our lives since he came to my husbands and my life. I'm glad to be a part of a community that understands the special Dutch Shepherds. I look forward to knowing everyone and hearing of their own Dutch Shepherds.

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Re: Hi from Northern Illinois
Haha, when I lived in "Chicagoland", those were NOT suburbs! LOL! When I was child around 1967 my family lived near Wauconda. We called that "The Boonies". Elgin was farm country. Algonquin was a dot on the map. That's where my father and mother live now. (LITH)FlipFlop wrote:Welcome! What area are you in? I'm located pretty close to Elgin and Algonquin!

Re: Hi from Northern Illinois
Yep, it's amazing how things have built up out here! This area is nice though- still some farm fields to feel like you're in the country but just minutes from any store/restaurant you could imagine!Haha, when I lived in "Chicagoland", those were NOT suburbs!

Antioch is a nice area as well! Love the little downtown area there!

Re: Hi from Northern Illinois
Welcome to the forum. I visit the Chicago area at least 2 times a year to teach at Camp Dogwood (www.campdogwood.com) and would LOVE to see some more brindles up that way! I've also had a few clients up that way when I'm in the area. If you are looking for training outlets or a great activity to do with your Dutch, check out Ashlee Trotter of Creative Paws. She is an AWESOME agility instructor, and I think she is doing some rally as well. She is located in Des Plaines, but her classes are out of Winecka (sp?) which is closer to you!
Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Re: Hi from Northern Illinois
Thanks everyone,
I'll look into creative paws, Skout's always been in some kind of training 'cause he's got some dog issues but he's sidelined from playing ball in the park right now, he broke a toe!
hopefully in 2 weeks he'll be back to his old self again.
