Dutch Shepherd Forum

Here is the newest member of our family - Kai (orig Kane) He is one of the 5 that was seized in WV. We were only his foster parents. However, the orig adoption did not work out and now we are his forever parents We were NOT looking for another dutch, but he is the sweetest pup. Really nice temperment, so we decided to make him part of our family.

He is 6 mo and a blast. Ask me how I feel in 2 wks when the honeymoon is over and I will prob need that or 2.

Wow! Congratulations! He is a good looking guy too

Can't wait to hear stories and see more pics

Sometimes I hate that I'm just too far off the beaten path to help with these rescues.

Then again, maybe that's not such a bad thing . Keeping them is probably catching

Love the name Kai! What a cutie!

How do he and Odin get along? (if you've covered that in another thread, don't bother...I'm catching up after a few days absence...)

Odin is very patient with him. Dakota is having a hard time warming up but in time she'll be ok. Right now we are not allowing them to play together, they can only relax in the same room with Kai on a leash of course.

Kai is dutch meaning "Rejoice" - how fitting!!

Congratulations! He's gorgeous!

Glad to hear everyone in the family is getting along.

Uhm. It's a pretty name, but not Dutch for anything.

Don't listen to Judith! She doesn't know anything about the Dutch language... If you have any real questions about the language just ask me. Okay, maybe ask Marjolein.

Congrats on joining the elite club of "Failed Fosters." I am one!

Just ask Christie why the cat was named Foster ... it's NOT for the beer!

Hey, hey, hey.....the cat was an intentional deceit. The ex-boyfriend didn't want me to add anymore to my 4-legged family, so I just had a permanent "foster" cat. He's a freaking awesome cat too.....many years later

Eric, You're an imposter. Wannabe.

I looked at the link that was provided. They list it as a Dutch name but then I don't see the meaning? Just lots of other origins chiming in. Makes you wonder how mean people think they used a *insert country* name when in reality..... I found the "Dutch" top ten too. Ka (uh?) Aachie (no, at best, that would be Aagje) Jaap (yes) Aaf (not really) Daaf (no) Gab (uh?) Aafje (not really) Arabella (it's a name, but not typical) Aachien (no) Aad (yes)
I know I am going to ask around next time I find a cool exotic name that I think would fit a dog's characteristics, to make sure I am not really calling the dog sonof***tch instead of what I intended to use.

That's it! I'm never visiting the South again.

Amersfoort is now as far South as I'm ever going to visit again! ...well, I'll make an exception for Tiel to see my cousin and his family. But Limburg is definitely off the list! Fryslan is looking better and better every day.

...aw crap... that means Maastricht is out now and I liked it so much!!

No indeed---not ever to go there.
