Dutch Shepherd Forum

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.

WELCOME new member ''real Dutchman''!
how old is your Josje?
i like your ''If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much...'' line.

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, 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.

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

This b&w shot of Josje is about when she was a year old.

That is a great shot. You should frame that.

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:
