Dutch Shepherd or Mal - Page 2

 

 No  this is a special unit for  extreme  violent situations we  call this  ME  (mobiele  eenheid  )

 

 This is basic outfit K9 handlers

I like DS, they are interesting. Wish I had the opportunity to see more of them, but they aren't that popular.

 

The only working DS I've ever seen, I think, was a Dutch/Mal cross and kind of a psycho... with a loser for an owner to match. Definitely not my cup of tea.

The problem is  many  people import x malis/dutchies without any knowledge about the  background in the bloodlines ,  some bloodlines

are very dominant, hard and  over the top drives  they  ae not not easy to handle  a  and some

 have serious  handler agression most of the handlers today don,t tolerate this or can,t work with this kind of dogs.IMO

 

I wonder how much handler aggression is simply lack of bonding and stupid training?

 

That is a good question  vk4gsd   but there must be match between dog and handler, and yes good bonding is

very important and cost time

 

A lot of people went the real tough serious    bloodlines but   most of them can,t handle this dogs proper

have seen this many times. Punishment is not always the solution a clever/good dog  handler is also a good thinker

and yes there are many stupid handlers who  are not honest in training  and don,t think.the right way.

Exellent, glad you mensioned Van Treekzicht kennel, otherwise i wood have automatically assumed that it was another Van Leeuwen dog.

One of the best breeders of Dutch Shepherds.

 

agree with van Leeuwen Allan, Dick and Selena doing exellent work

people who get to see a sleek, well behaved striped dog tend to get real excited about "how beautiful!" she is (or at least that's my experience) and think she is a striped malinois. And I rather think that is the best way to explain the breed.

I have seen some great dutchies in police work and some not so great ones. I know of one that is lights out on drug detection but couldn't or didn't want to track to save his life. I knew another one that'd had crushing bites, left many of bruises on my back through a bite suit. Dutchies and mals take dedicated handlers. I had a mal that was a jerk at times. He would let you know if he thought a correction was over the top. Once I figured out his expectation of how he should be treated he was great. But just my personal observations.
