Tell us about yourself: I'm a 23 year old military member who just got my first Dutch shepherd. I've grown up my whole life with various breeds and trained Rhodesian ridgebacks for several years prior to joining the service.
A co-worker of mine brought his gsd/lab mix, Paul, over while we had a drink or three and they've gone nuts playing for about 4 hours now.

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.
OMG, what great pics!!!! Love the ones with all the teeth showing and the one with Harvey on the other dog's neck!!! The other dog looks all dramatic while its getting his neck nibbled on! Its great!!
My son from out of town is here with his wife and their Boston terrier, and Sugar and her have been getting along great too. I'll have to get some pics of them playing before they leave.
Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.
Fun stuff! Yeah, I love the sprawled-out on back drama pose!

I ended up with tons of pics and those two went on their romping spree for about 6 hours. Harvey definitely showed his dominating personality the whole time despite being the younger of the two.

Poor Paul cut his paw but it didn't show him down.
