I have a Dutch!  He has strong working lines and it takes a lot of work to fulfill his needs not a breed for the average pet owner.
We are actively training for protection sports and detection and sports .

Factoid; Dutch Shepherds, which are among the top breeds of choice by law enforcement agencies, have been described as having the drive of a Belgian Malinois with the sense of a German Shepherd Dog. Some officers find Dutch Shepherds perhaps a bit quieter in nature than another breed popular with the law and military, the Belgian Malinois. What the two breeds do have in common is that both are “anticipating thinkers,” dogs that in training know what the next exercise will require, and who often want to skip ahead and start with that one. This can make it challenging for a trainer to stay one step ahead of an extremely intelligent dog. The incorruptible and highly communicative Dutch Shepherd makes the effort worthwhile. In fact, KNPV Dutch Shepherds (along with KNPV Malinois) are the most commonly used breeds in the training program of the Royal Dutch Police Dog Association, or De Koninklijke Nederlandse Politiehonden Vereniging: KNPV.

The image here is of “Blue,” a Dutch Shepherd whose photo was shared with us back in 2020 by Carole Field of Cher Car Kennels. At the time (and perhaps now), Blue was a dual purpose narcotics dog working at the Evart Police Department. The side photo of Blue was taken in 2019 and appeared on the page of the Evart Police Department
