hello
Hello, my name is Debra. Im a retired fire Captain from southern Cali and I have always love to watch the great K9s at work on my job. Im looking to buy or adopt a DS in the very near future. Im home now and would like to raise a pup and then have some family protection training done. Nothing to serious, but My husband is also a fire Captain and can be gone for weeks during brush fire season. Although Im almost always armed, I would like a dog that could " clear" the house when my small children and I get home and just do some basic protection. Im looking at the DS because they are bit smaller and I love the coloring. I would consider a rescue ( all the dogs I have ever had have been rescues) but Im leery about bringing a dog with unknown history and genetics into my home with small children. I have a long history of professional horse training and have always been able to train my dogs to a level of exceptional obedience, but I have no experience in the personal protection area and would probably send the dog into training. Babbling sorry, I have spoken to Trudy at NADSR ( very helpful) but just wanted to join here for any other thoughts or recommendations. Thank you. I am not against the idea of a Belgian Malinois, just really like the DS.
Deb in Cali

- 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. - Location: Victoria BC
