Tell us about yourself: Names Rosie, 19 from london. Just recently got a female puppy DS and was looking for other people who are DS owners as they are very far and few between in the UK (Everyone seems to think she is a GS cross and wont believe me when I say DS because they have never heard of the breed before lol)

Hi From The Uk

Post by RosieCoppolo »

Hello everyone i'm Rosie, i'm 19 from London, Uk. I've got a female DS pup (around 14weeks) and just thought i'd sign up here as I don't know anyone in the UK who even knows what a DS is and it would be nice to talk to people who know what im talking about when i say dutch shepherd :D I'm getting a camera soon so you'll all be able to see Dolly's naughty little face :loco:

Hey, yeah i'll be getting a camera soon to take lots of pictures of her naughty antics. My plan is just really to have her as a family pet and an exercise partner and anything we do as far as training is concerned in the future will be for fun only. I knew the ability of dutchies before i got her but to be honest I really liked what i read about their personalities and their energy. But like i said i'm more crossing out agility training or any other sort of training but it will just be for her sake so her skills don't go to waste.

:wave: Welcome Rosie and Dolly.
I know of a few other DSs in the UK, from a working breeder (van Leeuwen) who held them until the two (?) rabies titer tests were done. I think they were about 5 months old before they could go to their new homes?
How did you get your girl over the pond? I am sure you had to jump through hoops as well?? :eek:

Hey, well Dolly actually just fell on my lap lol I was looking for a GSD pup and phoned a breeder and he didn't have any GSD pups at the time but had Dolly, i'd never heard of the breed before but after reading up on Dutchies i thought she would be a perfect dog for me. After reading what some people have gone through to find a DS in the UK i count myself very lucky to have found her :D

No don't know the names of her parents. All I know is that all her brothers and sisters went to the police in the UK and her dad is now in the American police.

Tell us about yourself: My husband and I are interested in getting a DS puppy. We are new to the breed and are interested in learning as much as we can about them. We would appreciate any help or information others have to offer. We are most concerned about selecting the right DS for us.

Welcome to the forum! I am also new to the forum and to DS's, so we'll be learning together! It's a little comforting to know I'm not on my own experience wise here. I'm super excited to learn from the mass of experience on here!
