Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hi All,
Hoping to pick up our Boy DS puppy xmas eve, it hasn’t been born yet so I have a bit of time to get to know whats what in the world of DS dogs. Fingers crossed all goes well. Im based in the SW of France so if there is anyone on the Forum located in France let me know.

Sorry for the delayed welcome, happy to see a new member! Getting a new puppy is such an exciting time--and a very exhausting time. It takes a lot of training and relationship-building, be prepared, haha. What kind of DS are you getting? Our DS is theoretically bred to be a family dog, but he is still a strong-willed crazy athlete. Any dog hobbies you're hoping to try?

Hi Jean512
We are getting a family dog, not sure I know what dog hobbies are! He will mostly be for company, getting me out and about, looking after our property and a nuisance to our Cane Corso who is getting on in years and can do with someone to keep her on her toes.

Maybe that will be plenty of activity for your dog! I only got into dog hobbies because our lil dude doesn't otherwise have a "job" to do for fulfillment. Canicross, bikejoring, obedience tests such as BH, etc.

Welcome. These dogs can be a lot of fun. There's lots of things you all can do together. Research. Poke around in here for ideas. Good luck and Merry Christmas
