QUESTIONS 1. What is my relationship with the breed? (ie breeder, first time owner etc) Owner (working line mal) 2. Where and why was the breed first developed? See above 3. How common is it in Australia? No commen at all there are some great breeders in working lines i would sugest looking on specilist canine and talking to a couple of people there 4. What is the average lifespan? about 14 5. What is the general temperament/personality? Ive seen them in all different types of personalitys and temperament the whole spectrum however ever as a general rule of them they are confident and inquesitive this is talking about the worling line mals 6. How much daily exercise is needed for the average adult? about 1hr of solid work and you need to give the dog a purpose or it will create its own 7. Is it a breed that a first time dog owner could easily cope with? DEFINALY NOT! 8. Can solo dogs of this breed easily occupy themselves for long periods? Yes but good luck to your back yard 9. How much grooming is required? very little if any 10. Is it too boisterous for very small children or for infirm people (unless the dog is well trained)? Yes and no with mine i would trust around children however i think this is more a question of upbrining 11. Are there any common hereditary problems a puppy buyer should be aware of? Yes but not to the degree of the GSD 12. When buying a puppy, what are the things you should ask of the breeder? (eg what health tests have been done (if applicable) and what is an acceptable result to those tests so the buyer has an idea of what the result should be)

Hi, I go trail riding with my bicycle some time travelling 50km - 150km do you think this is to much for a dog ?? Shes a belgian malinois she not full grown but when do you think would be the right age to take her out bush ?? 1.5-2yrs old Thanks for any info

Had a dutch shepherd extreamly high amount of prey drive but i think is the dog respects you you really shouldnt have a problem had mutiple chicken free running in the backyard while dog was out will put video up is anyone wants to see??

Hey i didnt notice a age limit or minimum for dogs competing in the endurance test ? is there one ?? and it there any limitation in breed?

I know it not really going to help dog that currently are adults however during the socilisation period for puppy if you expose it to sounds that are similar to fireworks etc and obviously if its gentic makeup allows The dog wont show fear and have a panic attack when the fireworks do go off i dont think the promoters will be haveing a dedicated laser show i guess dont have the same effect that fireworks seem to have

okiee i should clarify the other puppy doesnt have a full adult coat but a more corse coat closer to what the adult coat is like

Hi Everyone Ive got a dutch shepherd thats approx 9 weeks old and he seems really clumsy on wooden flooring e.g. when running after prey items during mid turn will stack it however on carpet and grass he seem alot more sure footed ive taken him to see a vet and had him checked out and the vet said there doesnt look like theres any issues possiblay just muscle soreness ive compared him to a littermate and there a fair bit of difference the litter mate has nearly completly got his adult coat and seem alot more co ordinated than my pup on the other had the person that recieved that litter mate recieved him earlier than i recieved my pup i was just wondering people opinions on the amout of co ordination a puppy should have at 9 weeks ill post a video of his gait and him running around any opinions are much appricated Thanks
