- Tell us about yourself: I used top be terrified of dogs as a kid. But I met a German Shepherd named Sheba and have been into dogs since I was 12, now I'm 32 and have successfully handled many of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I titled my first dog Sport, a mixed breed, in agility and then got into schutzhund. I got to work with working bred GSDs and loved them. After Sport died I was offered a young Dutch Shepherd named Allie (short for alligator!). I adopted her and fell in love with the breed. I rescued several Dutchies after that and then Allie was killed tragically by irresponsible veterinary staff. About 4 months later I rescued a pathetic emaciated 1 yr old Dutchie named "Phantom". With just some food, water and love he sprang from his listless phantom self and I named him Logan. Now he is my 8 yr old hardcore PITA!!!! :D

Hello
Hi. I've been into dutchies for about ten years. I'd seen a picture of one in a dog encyclopedia one but never saw one in person until I started working at a kennel. I was introduced to them there, the manager referred to them as "hyenas". I have an almost 8 yr old hyena named Logan...he's the second one that I've owned and my 5th rescued dutchie. Sadly, all the dutchies that I rescued were from the kennel where I used to work. He's the most difficult dog I've ever worked with (and I've worked with a lot) but has made me a way better handler. Looking forward to meeting everyone here.

Re: Hello
Welcome to the forum. It's wonderful that you've rescued.
I share your pain and pleasure in owning "the most difficult dog" you've "ever worked with." I thought my last one honed some skills, but my present boy is Rock-of-Gibraltar-tough...and I love how that's made me a better handler (and him an amazing beast) over time.

Though I can only hope to become the person who my animals believe I am, the things that they have taught me have made me a better human being. ~~~Sharon~~~

Re: Hello
Oh yeah, the things we say here about our dogs would make most normal people mad.

Lisa's Sadie Soup references are probably only understood here...LOL
When I tell Tyson he may not see tomorrow, I swear he understands me... He will always give me a really pretty sit, ears forward, gaze on me, with an adorable cocked head as if to say "Aw C'mon, mom...you know you love me."
