4 year old Mirri is 50% Dutch shepherd 38% cattle dog and 12% pitbull. She’s my high drive pet/love of my life.
1.5 year old Ludo is 100% Dutch shepherd. He’s my working dog- he’s a PSA prospect that’s giving me a run for my money lol
If only he liked actual swimming as much as he likes wading.
She’s 50% Dutch shepherd, 28% Australian cattle dog and 12% pit, 100% the love of my life.
He saw the beach once last summer as a 5/6 month old pup and wasn’t interested in the water, but today he had the time of his life running and chasing seagulls in the waves. We’ll be back again tomorrow. 🌅
He played on the ramp, splashed, and worked himself up jumping in and swimming out for his toy and back on his own. Of course he doesn’t care for the waterproof toys so his reward ball is soaked, but it floats!
I know AI is a very controversial thing and I hope to not stir the pot up. I belong to a very small working dog club and our decoy is our fearless leader, literally sacrificing his body for our dogs. I want to have a shirt made for the few of us to surprise him and tweaked AI prompts to get what I wanted, but I can’t use them for screen printing because of the resolution. Can anyone help?
She also has over 30 relatives, mostly through the Dutch side, ranging from 30% to 12% relatives.
Edited: as I look through, she has several half sibling level of relation Dutchies with BRNs and a few still in the Netherlands! We did some bite work but she’s so soft and sweet and too nervy with sounds etc. She loved being worked in prey and loved that part of the game but any pressure and she wanted to appeasement kiss the decoy. Such a sweet girly lol. We do lots of other stuff (agility, mess around with rally style obedience because she loves it and endless hikes, ball and tug).
Her brother, on the other hand, was made for the bitey things. We are having a time- sometimes fun, sometimes very much not- learning together.
He was pretty hesitant first- I was in the pool with him on a flat collar and long line and had to use a little leash pressure to get him to get in. He jumped onto me lol like “MOMMA CATCH ME” and scratched me through my rash guard but that was the worst of the session. He eventually was using the ramp to go in a bit on his own to get his toy and I think he’s going to end up loving it. I really want to do it all with him and the older he gets, the more he makes me think it’s possible.
