Nice update. Helpful information. My dutchie-mix will bark, but it pretty good at stopping when I tell him to. He know's "she's got it". We neutered just over a year, he was a stray and rescue insisted. I'd like to say it slowed him down, but it didn't. Not sure what can slow these guys down, but we sure like him a year later.

We just committed to a new 4mo old stray rescue we adopted after fostering her for only a week! 😂 She is too good to let go. DNA test pending but she is dominant shorthair Dutchy and maybe mal mix…bets are placed. As a long time Dobie owner currently w/ a vibrant 4yo female, the Dutchy is so very different and it’s fun to discover those differences. They are growing to love each other and play together well. Having active dogs in pairs makes a huge difference. I loved watching your boys patrol those beautiful grounds so confidently. Great video and thanks for sharing this! 👍🫡

I don’t agree with neutering early before 2. And the anti bark collars defo not. These are shepherd dogs bred specifically to bark at hazards. It’s like telling a fish not to swim

I can tell you what you are saying is quite true, I would add that they are mostly oriented on 1 owner so a dog walker is near impossible! They often even refuse to walk with other family members, also they will be very aware of their surroundings at all times so to make sure they understand stuff like you hugging a visitor, otherwise they might see it as an issue.

Its good to see that you and your dogs are still doing well. I did want to add to be careful with the cheaper e collars. They can be inconsistent with the stim level. I went that route at first and after using them on myself i was very disappointed. I ended up getting a mini educator, but dogtra is just as good. I had an amazon cheapy collar that when i tried in in my hand at the lowest level zapped me so bad that it pretty much jumped out of my hand. An e collar is a key piece of training equipment, make sure you get quality.

I just ended up with my first Dutch-anything. Actually she’s a Dutch-Mal cross. She’s got the coloring of the Mal and the size and goofiness of a Dutch. I was looking for a purebred Mal, I did a DNA test just to be sure. I am so happy with her anyways. I have had her for about a year now and she learns quickly and is protective. I’m keeping her intact because I might want more Dutch-Mal crosses.

Is there ANYONE who says Dutch Shepherds are not energetic? I have known Dutch Shepherds for 60 years or more (my mother had one in the mid-1960s) and just the idea of thinking Dutchies aren't energetic seems utterly ridiculous. The energy level of a Dutch Shepherd is INSANE, with blinding speed to boot. I have NEVER seen a Dutch Shepherd you could even remotely call non-energetic. High energy is one of their core traits.

Thank you for your post it's refreshing and put my mind at ease as some of the trates are exactly what loki's like. From the uk 🇬🇧 Ps your prior post was what I used to watch and in part one reason I got Loki. I thank you for that as he is a real part of my family and I spend most of my spare time chilling with him throwing balls as he is great as a buddy. Never realised how much time I needed to put in as previous dogs was a springer and cocker spaniels but that's part of the fun. Just enjoy as they are here for what seems to be too short.

@@predictionpain2632 he is the true god of mischief but also could of called him Judge Dreed as he is so in tune with me and others he can spot a bad man a mile away even if I can't. Not sure if you suffer the same but in the UK a lot of dog owner have to touch your dog that Is why I walk alone it's better that way and safer. Must add Loki is a good boy only trained for fun in scent no bite work required as you mentioned in your post and can be very friendly but if he thinks there's a problem then no touching. I have three children and all he plays with differently my youngest girl 9 he just cuddles and is so gentle my son 14 even though he is autistic and very impulsive he is gentle and calm but will softly mouths and my 18 year old and me it's gloves off and lots of fun but still knows the limits. As for mouthing the wife no chance just cuddles and as you know they rule so best behaviour.if he wants a happy life. All adore him. I also still have a cocker spaniel and she is very timid but if he is wrong boy she tells him and that was a real shock to us all a she is afraid of everything she is a rescue.

Thanks for your channel, rescued a 3 month puppy from a local shelter, it was labeled as a Chow and named Noodles, immediately knew is was some kind of shepherd, fast forward 5 months, I’m definitely a proud owner of a Dutch Shepherd, looks identical to one of yours. My dog came with the name Noodles, I renamed him Ike on the way home from the shelter, I somehow knew he was a far cry from a noodle. Ike sounded kinda Viking, I was so right on with the name. Think he’s going to be the best dog I’ve ever had. Agree with you 100% with the neutering, wish Ike had a vasectomy to keep the hormones flowing 😎😎😎

I'm really curious: how difficult was training for both of your dogs? I've seen so many people online talk about how they're constantly training and working their dutch shepherds and that just sounds like a recipe for a neurotic dog. And do they settle well/did you have to teach either of them an off switch? Sorry if this is a lot of questions, I just love dutch shepherds and would love to have one, but I gotta do my due diligence with my research lol
@predictionpain26328 ай бұрын
My best advice is to be consistent, get an e collar for training, go to puppy obedience school. I don’t think you can train an off switch but you can exercise them and wear them out, mental stimulation is the best.

Mentale drain them, thats the best way and fastest to turn mine "off" kind of,... for an hour ;P Know what you ask for and find a good bloodline. If you choose for a working line one prepare your ass!! It's a lot of dogg.. They are very good to train and you can fire them up easily,.. Keep them in a chilling vibe is not really possible, they recharge fast! I wouldn't call it neurotic, just ON!! It's a wonderful dog if you have enough time to spend with them, good for your health because you will loose your belly if you have one ;P BUT, if you don't have enough time and energy to put in you setup for trouble. They will fuck your place up if you think you can "skip" them for a day whahaha Long story short, If you have time, energy, and you love to be outdoor! Can't find a better buddy!! But don't put them in a crate for 9 hours a day while your away for work. JUST DON'T!! These dogs are walking full time jobs... I don't know the non workline but this is my adventure ;P So if you want to know more from my side of view,... just give a yell. Hope this helps you out, they are fun though!!

I've had German Shepherds and now have a Dutch Shepherd. The best way to compare would be to say a Dutchy is a GSD on crack. They more muscular, get separation anxiety, without having the hip or health problems of GSD. Mine is less tolerant and very wary of any other dog that comes around me even though I've socialized him early on with both people and other dogs. He just doesn't like another animal being too close. When someone visits, both of my dogs have a little fight frenzy letting company know they are on the watch list, and they position themselves close enough to interject if needed as if by instinct. Duchies need at least 3-4 hours a day exercise, and they are very obedient when trained. If you don't have the time or space for one, do not get one. I also wouldn't advise a Dutch Shepherd for a first time dog owner.
