Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hello all,

My wife and I bought a Dutch Shepherd pup a couple months ago. I probably came across this site like most just looking for more information. We have a rescue shepherd mix that is going on 4 years old but we really don't know how old he is. They are both quite high energy dogs so they work well together and tire each other out all day long.

My wife is leery about training for bite work and having a "family" dog, so I think we'll stick with scent work and hunting training. I'm amazed at her intelligence and her drive to perform at the limited training she's done so far.

Heres some pictures since everybody likes pictures.

Welcome!! Holly is just so adorable!! Congrats.

I felt the same way about bite work, but we have an excellent master trainer who knows what he is doing and that will make all the difference in the world. Getting the right trainer is key, in my opinion.

Where is your pup from?

Ohhhhh my god, too adorable!

We got her from a breeder in ontario called Strike Force K9. Nice lady who runs it, very knowledgable and helpful. But I think most of her dogs go to police / military type work. Both parents were on site (as well as 3-4 other dutch shepherds), really nice dispositions while being really driven for there work. Her dad had the first schutzhund designation and mom did bedbug and termite detection.

Welcome! Holly looks adorable - you are so lucky!!!
Where in Ontario are you? I used to live in Kingston, ON while I was young for 4 years and still have great memories...

Welcome, Structural,

Very cute pup you have there! Glad you found us...

welcome!

Very cute!

We live a little north of Orillia on Sparrow Lake. I grew up around Hamilton though.

AWWW she's so precious!! Welcome to the board! You will find this is a great place for information and sharing stories with other Dutchie lovers!

I know your breeder, we're good friends, I know your pup's parents (Zoe and Farve), and I have played with your pup and might have some pics of her when she was about 4/5wks old

Small world! when we stopped by to check out the pups, Farve was going crazy because I think two females were in heat.

Welcome, nice pup, is the frog still alive??
