Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.

Not Without Me, You Don't!

Post by leih merigian »

Do you ever try to hug your significant other with your DS around? :lol:

If we're just standing and hugging, of course, it suddenly becomes a group hug with Geyser sandwiched in between us (complete with toy in mouth).

If we're prone, let's say, reading, and decide it's time for a hug, next thing you know, there's a wet nose squiggling under your armpit and working it's way up to head level for lots of kisses.

I doubt I'd ever reach my daily laugh quota without Geyser around :mrgreen:

Thalie, no, she would just come and lay next to you, but Sadie, you bet, the wet nose would wedge right in between.

We've trained him out of it, but Zane's preference is to stand on two feet with his front feet on your back if you're hugging someone other than him.

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.

That's too funny!

Don't have a clue what Lyric would do, as we're alone here. I think it might worry her a bit. :?

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.

Too cute! Sugar couldn't care less if we hug, etc...however if I pick up the cat for a cuddle, thats a whole 'nother story! Then all of a sudden its "what about me...pet me, pet me!!"

Nope. I do not hug my significant other anymore. Too many wet noses and striped bodies that interfere. ;)
And I won't even mention the dog all of a sudden sitting in your bedroom, staring with big eyes or worse, poking you with wet nose, when you are being romantic. Pretty distracting!! :g_wink:
