l was glad to see this breed introduced to Australia, l had a couple when in the US and found them to be a midway point almost between the GSD and the Mal. Artur and Vendo , who run a security company in Qld, bought 2 of these dogs to a workshop for AK9PS l was at , and they were very nice dogs indeed. l would say they are my favorite of the shepherds, hardy and old fashioned, drivey but not over the top (my preference).
The boys from CK9-SAS, told me they spent a day with the RAAF at Amberley, where their dogs were put through some testing and did well enough to generate some interest , l wish them well and have asked them to join and let us know how they go with the "Dutchies"
Here Vendo carries out a search, while his young Dutch male keeps a watchful eye.

Hi Jess
DDR is/was East Germany, so DDR Shepherds are German Shepherds. The Dutch Shepherd originated in the Netherlands (as it is now called) and is referred to as “Hollandse Herder” or Dutch Herder. It no doubt has GSD in its origins as well as Belgium Shepherd (Malinois), but essentially it’s from Holland.

Ahh ok thanks heaps for that, that makes sense.
im really tossed up, i'd really like a good working dog but there arn't many good dobies in aus, and i've found some really good (dark sable) working sheps.
i dont know what to do......
Cheers, Jess

Hi Jess
It’s a difficult choice if you’ve been happy with one particular breed. Working line GSDs are excellent, however if you’ve no experience with them, it’s probably best if you get somebody who knows about the breed (working GSDs) to go along with you. Do you want a boy or a girl? Is it to be kennelled inside or outside? Do you have children? Can you see both sire and dam? Some working line GSDs are very high drive and therefore need strong handling when they come of age. I am a first time Malinois owner after more or less a lifetime of working GSDs; some working line, some not. I was very surprised at the level of prey drive in the working line Malinois and would have to say that mine may not be entirely suitable for a home with little children, my kids have long since been adults so that doesn’t affect me. I prefer my dogs to be kennelled outside to be honest; as they say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, and I like to think they can have their own time to behave like dogs.
You can’t go wrong with working line GSDs; just make sure the breeder gives you a history of his dogs, and their suitability for a home with children if you have any. If you’ve had working line dogs before then you should have a good idea of what to look for, but as you know all breeds have their own natural traits.
Good luck
Peter
