Tell us about yourself: My husband and I adopted a shepherd mix from Chicago Animal Care & Control a couple of years ago. It has since become apparent to us that she's at least part Dutch Shepherd.

Does anyone else's dog fold his/her paws? Pepper does this all the time. Her vet said she looked "dainty."

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.

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.

I think distinguished rather than dainty. DS aren't real well known for dainty! :lol:

'Distinguished' is a much better description. Pepper is far from dainty.
