mister Static has settled into the pack and is doing well. Started marker training and is having to track for his breakfast every morning. Coming along well. He already shows TREMENDOUS drive and he'd rather play than eat . His big brother maligator was not sure at first but is now playing well and they have wrestle mania every morning. Lech is good with him and not too rough (for a malinois )

Tell us about yourself: Greetings from Wisconsin. I live on a small goat farm with a crazy Malinois, named Rocket, that I adopted 5 years ago. I rent the goats out for weed and brush control and Rocket saves me hours a day, herding goats into barns and trailers and watching the gates as I move between pens. He also pulls a little red sled with whatever I need hauled. Rocket's the 14th dog I've adopted since I used to prowl the shelters for fast dogs for my sled team. One of my sled dogs may have been a DS mix. She had the look and energy but was a solid black with white toes. Rocket is currently an only dog so we go skijoring instead of sledding.
I love those picture! I will show them to my fiancé. He expressed interst in getting a second dog (yeah!). Since this would be his dog to travel with him when we have to be apart, I put my desires aside and asked him what kind of dog he wanted. He pointed to my "malligator" , Rocket, and said, "One just like this."
So, sometime after our Autumn honeymoon, we'll be looking for a pal for Rocket. An easy going type for herding, sledding, hiking, tummy rubs...
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.

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.
Gorgeous pups. I'm thinking about getting a maligator so my destructo-dutchie can have a partner in crime.

do your research on the Mali. In the post OBL killing EVERYONE wants a Mali and not this stupid Alpha Dog show. I've seen A LOT of them show up of late with little or no research done on the blood lines and everysingle one is a pup from a 'police dog.' I can point you to some awesome breeders that use Czech, French (awesome if you can get one), and Belgian lines herein the US. If bread properly, they are truly the 'lion and lamb' they'll never be as stoic as a dutchie though

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.
