Hendrix has landed!

Post by Owned-By-Hendrix »

Hendrix has landed!!!! Four days ago I walked into my house to meet this bundle of energetic fur and fell in love. And I've been suffering a serious case of Proud First Time Dutchie Mom Syndrome ever since! We've already had a visit to the vet for a serious case of liquid poo/constipation, which was probably more traumatic for me rather than Hendrix, and now that he's feeling better we've met his prompt 7pm Satanic Possession Sessions, as I believe someone else described this perfectly on here. It's been a few rainy, cold days here and we've learned Hendrix hates the wet and cold. Which makes bathroom breaks comical - usually involving me doing a song and dance routine to get him to step outside.

But I am constantly amazed at the intelligence and will to learn from this breed! So without much ado, and with much excitement, please allow me to introduce you to 3 month old Hendrix! :D :D :D

Someone has yet to explain to me how I end up as the toy bucket when we play.

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.

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

Tell us about yourself: I am a long time dog enthusiast but first time Dutch Shepherd owner. Logan is a KNPV bred Dutch Shepherd and great grandson of the great Arko Kikkert. He's by far the most demanding dog I've ever had but also by far the most rewarding.

Tell us about yourself: Hi there.
I WILL be a new Dutch Shepherd owner on July 20th!!! Puppies are on the ground and a huge litter at 14! Very excited. I chose the Dutch because I like high drive dogs and my husband likes shepherds. We both have had GSDs in our past. I also am interested in search and rescue training. I live in the mountains of California and have two older Australian Shepherds. I do know that I have a job managing this pack. My husband is on board with it all. No kids. Both of us have flexible jobs. We are active folk but aging! ;-))
Still we mountain bike, hike, cross-country ski and my husband runs. I walk in the woods with the dogs 3 times a day and we are lucky to have US Forest right out the door. So that is it.

Yahoo.
What a good looking guy. I might have been the one that talked about satanic possession. Good news, at 6 months satan is mostly gone, pops in from time to time, but the "insane eyes" are gone. Exorcism by multitude of chew things, toys, etc. :DSangel:

Best to you and enjoy the holidays with your new partner.

Thanks so much guys! We're slowing getting to know each other and working on manners. He's still a bit reactive to people and dogs so we're trying to work on that with someone. He's doll when he wants to be, like when he first wakes up.

Thanks Dutchringgirl! The breeder said he should come in around 60-75 pounds once he's done growing. His dad is all muscle and stocky.

Karin I may be asking for your advice soon! Just got back from the store with about 12 different types of chewies/toys. Let's see how tonight's Satan Possession goes. :)
