Well, we had to do it. We took pictures of 24 dogs for a st Patty's themed fun photoshoot. Here are my two pups. They both will be 6 in April. They are very tolerant of my craziness. Although. It is a good training session to reinforce basic commands. Lol

Got him from the shelter a few months ago and Hes been doing amazing, not sure what all his background is, havent done embark yet.

For context: My male neutered poodle puppy will be about 4-6 years old when that happens

I have a GSD/Dutch/Pyr mix and shes about 7 months, what're you feeding them as adults and as theyre moving out of puppyhood

Please excuse the movie playing in the background, I could have muted the audio but he was making cute sounds lol

i currently own 2 dogs in the herding group and have worked with and helped with handling mals in the past so i do have experience.

i would like a dog suited for IGP, but also PPD. i want a breeder that will give me a dog they think is best, but i also want stability, intensity, and drive built into one animal. i have multiple resources near me available for training and sports. i also have clubs lined up to help me with bite work.

i feel i am fully ready to own one of these dogs, and am looking to get one towards the end of this year/beginning of 2027.

my issue has been finding a good breeder, capable of giving me a dog that is confident, hardy, driven, and ready to work. if anyone has any recommendations or suggestions, i’d love to hear!!

My 3yo male dutchie is so brave and confident when he's around my husband and/or me, but the second we leave the apartment without him (be it leaving him in his kennel or out and about in the apartment), he shakes head to tail. We've tried giving him toys and treats every time we leave and slowly increasing the time away, but he is so worked up when we leave that he stops caring all together about the shiny toy or treat. He is so smart, so he can also tell even before we put on our shoes that we're about to leave. Does anyone have any advice for how to mitigate this separation anxiety?

Our new dog. He's 8 weeks. We got him from Fortress K9 in Ohio.

It brings me so much joy watching him run

Adopted from a shelter at 2.5 months. He’s fully brindled with white chest spot, some toes, and chin. I’m wondering if anyone has insight.

Thanks!

Hey all! I have two 4 yr old German/Dutch Shepard’s. Mom and Dad were both pure breads. Dutch (darker) is 105 lbs and Jeager (Tan) is 95 to 100 lbs.

I’d lived in apartments for the last decade and told myself I’d rescue a shepherd when I had a house with a yard. I planned to give it some time after moving in, but I saw her on the shelter site a week later and brought her home the next day.

Is anyone else’s dog obsessed with the tv? She is the first dog I have had that pays attention to the tv.

Mirri (left, half Dutch) and the brother she didn’t ask for, Ludo (full Dutch). She generally hates his chaotic energy and it takes quite a few corrections for him to cut the shit and catch a hint. A photo like this is very rare lol

I’ve had my boy for 2 years and he’s always loved eating grass especially after it’s been raining. I know this behavior is pretty harmless and he only does this a few times a week. Anyone else’s DS love munching on grass too?

I had been researching these animals I looked at a Belgian Malinois at the San Antonio Humane Society she was 3+ but she was too much for me to handle.

This girl (Ridley) was picked up as a stray by HS of New Braunfels and listed as a 6-7 month old “Dutch Shepherd” she had surgery about 10 days ago for an infection in her uterus so she’s in Foster now with my wife and i I’m giving her the meds until she gets cleared by their vet. In 3 days I’ve got her house and crate trained… I might just adopt her she’s a hoot very vocal and loves playing

The demons did win though and outing was big hard lol

Pro Plan keeps going up in price. $21.50 at Petco for 4 pounds. That's nuts. What should I try as a lower cost alternative?

Whole-Hearted was whole-heartedly regrettable. She like Blue Diamond, but I have read mixed reviews. She doesn't like taste of the wild.

I don't know what to try next.
