Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hello all,
I've posted on a few topics so far, but since this seems like a rather small community I should introduce myself. My name is Sarah and I live in Vermont. I recently found out about the breed in February, fell in love, and decided I am going to get one! I currently have a Vizsla, which is a very high energy breed for those of you who are not familiar (but my family dog growing up is a Beagle--and still around!), and a cat who generally lives under the bed.

I have always wanted a Shepherd, and when I discovered this breed I was so excited because GSD's are so over-bred and have some issues that seem to be arising. I would like to own a DS within the year, as soon as some hopefully job advancing changes happen!

Thanks, and look forward to meeting some of you!

Hi Sarah.

Karin in CA waiting for my first DS... only 5.5 more weeks to go!!!! I have a pup on the ground in WA state. Just waiting... very impatiently as well. Welcome. I just joined the forum as well.

Welcome! Sorry, I'd have greeted you sooner, but I have not been on the forum in over a week, I'm usually at least lurking and keeping up with activity here even if not posting much but alas. The past week and a half have not been normal and I'm trying to resurface a little.

I'm a fellow Vermonter and have my first Dutch, a nine month ol
d named Mokume. "Moko" for short. Saw you were "local" and wanted to give a shout-out!

Welcome Sarah and Stig

Whoa! Great to see another Vermonter! Whereabouts are you located? I met one couple with a DS in Burlington, and heard of another one in Burlington as well, so it's pretty interesting to find other people in a small state who know of the breed. I like it how not many people are aware of this breed... makes them so much more unique. I've contacted Asheley over at Vrijheid Kennels, because I think her dogs are so beautiful. Where did you get yours?
