This is our shorthaired Dutch Shepherd bitch Josje, we've been to the beach near Bergen, she loves the cool water... She doesn't swim though. ;)

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

Hi johninni,

Thanks for your welcome!

Josje turns 3 years (21 in dogyears) next December 19th. We have her since she turned 8 weeks.
Our kids (1 boy, 2 girls) love her to bits! She's very docile and obedient...
The only thing she'll eat is B.A.R.F. food, likes to roll through rotten fish, decomposing duck and goose poo, :eew: ha ha ha! She's a lot fun to have running about. We're in love with this breed, she'll be the first in line of a few generations, if you'll ask me. :wtg:

Best regards, Ruud

mine all love dead fish and birds too. especially the big birds. i don't mind soooo much in summer - i just join the offender in the bay and have an immediate bath, but in winter.... not so easy

Tell us about yourself: Howdy,
We are a family of rescues, (yeah, me included), in Southern California. My wife and I currently have two dogs, a Golden Retriever/ GSD mix by the name of Morgan, and our DS mix(?), Dinga Roo. We had never even heard of a Dutch Shepherd before until we were stalked by this nice lady in the pet store who asked us if Roo was a DS. Dang if that lady wasn't on to something. I just found this site, so here we are....

That is a great shot. You should frame that.
Kevin, Debby,
Dinga Roo (DS mix), John's Goddaughter and Tyson's twin,
and Morgan too (Retriever/GSD mix).
Loving memories of our GSD Charly who passed at 17 years. (4/18/13).

yes, i agree -- love the photo. i am sure DingaRoo thinks so, too. i have just kept staring at Josje - her mouth open in happy anticipation of the next move, her toes touching; her entirety in this photo reminds me so much of my old Tracedog. but really great photo, regardless.

This is Josje at her puppy-/obedience training, she's about 1.2 years of age here.
On this link you'll find some more pics of Josje and her brothers and sisters:

Feel free to add some comments on her site.
