All right guys i’m going to talk about One of the breeds i really don’t ever Recommend You keeping as a pet ever ever ever Doug shepherds This is a client of ours dog she’s Boarding with us Her behavior right now pretty much Represents a lot of the issues that You’re going to see with your typical Dutch shepherd that most of you are Going to be able to obtain on what i Call the pet market yes i know the Breeder claims that the dogs police dogs And they’re super awesome european dogs And this and that and everything else The reality is most of you are going to End up with a nerve pack I’m sorry to say it people are always Like what’s your issue with with dutch Shepherds okay i don’t have an issue With dutch shepherds they are what they Are okay you’ve got basically two Options you end up with a really good One Or you end up with a really bad one i’ve Seen very few that are what i would call In between okay Now I literally just took the leash of this Dog so it’s a possibility she might try To bite me at some point because she’s Very insecure and she is fear aggressive Right um so
This dog i mean it’s a female so if You’re gonna have you have to get a Duchy and you want a pet get a female Because it’s like less likely to be Handle aggressive Almost every duchy that comes in here That is owned by someone that you know Just a pet person a regular person that Bought it you know To be a pet Is almost every one of them is nervous And fear aggressive and then they’re Also hammer aggressive very common in The breed that when they become stressed By anything or insecure about anything Um or excited about anything or aroused By anything they come up the leash That they’re for as breeds go This breed is probably the highest Incident Incidence of hammer aggression right and It can range anywhere from like a little Bit nippy bratty behavior to serious Handler regression where the dog you Know i’ve seen him as young as like 10 Months hospitalizing owners this is not A dog For someone that doesn’t know what They’re doing okay And if you know what you’re doing you’re Not buying this dog all right not that The owner bought this dog she found this Dog in the woods And i’m gonna bet that the dog ended up
In the woods a because it ran away from Home and the owners didn’t care enough To look for it because she is the way She is or b they got tired of living With her and released her into the woods Right but a lot of people are Unfortunate enough or unfortunate they Actually spend money on these dogs they Go on kijiji or they google dutch Shepherds for sale And They end up with this okay and this Really actually isn’t as bad as Typically we see them whenever i see a Dutch shepherd come in I just look at it and be like You know these people have no idea what They’re in for i’ve seen very few of These dogs that are stable okay now If they’re really good They’re still not good pets Right a dutch shepherd that’s really Good this is a working dog right they’re Bred to be dominant they’re bred to have You know big grips big prey a lot of Aggression so on and so forth does that Sound like a dog that you probably Should be living with Hell no Right it is not a dog that you should be Living with okay so they’re really good They’re for experienced handlers only And even experienced handlers commonly Get chewed up by these dogs okay
It’s you know It’s one of those things where the Duchies the hammer aggression is in the Lines Whether they’re bad or good i see it so Much the other thing that i see with the Duchess is like i said there there’s a Lot of dominance like if you’ve got a Good one like a strong dominant male That is that is not the god for the Average person he will eat your lunch And he’ll try to eat you and your lunch Right So you know I’ve had good duchess i’ve sold good Duchess and i said to michael i said you Know to my brother Who still works with me but he was Working with me at the time i said Listen the next time i say the word Dutch shepherd to you punch me right in The face so i remember not to buy Another one of these not because we Didn’t like them but because that’s a Hard dog to sell right Super active high energy and they’re not User friendly at all these are not pets Now the majority of people breeding them In north america I’m sorry you’re just getting a nerve Bag that doesn’t even have the benefits Of a real working dungeon right it’s Just a nervous dog Right that you’re gonna have to manage
You’re gonna be prone to all the Reactive behavior so on and so forth i Know they’re very pretty And they’ve got all the stripes and Everything else don’t fall for it guys This is not a pet dog stop buying me i Always say this to people if you want to Get a working dog Right If you want to get a working dog and you Don’t Want to deal with like maybe a very Difficult dog get a german shepherd They’re the best introduction to working Dog that you can get um and get away With keeping that thing as a pet in many Cases it’s quite a doable thing you’re Getting a malinois you’re getting a Duchy and especially the dutchies for Whatever reason right in north america The propensity of these stripy dogs Towards nervous And nasty behaviors is very high and Most people especially in ontario there Is not one breeder i there’s only one Breeder i would buy from in ontario that Breeds these dogs Right every other breeder i’ve seen is Just an idiot they don’t know what They’re doing they’re putting these dogs Together they’re making up for you know They’ve got a lot of cool stories he’s a Police dog his daddy’s from here and There and everywhere else
Nerf bag dogs that’s all they’re Breeding useless for anything except Biting children and running away from Home okay Now there is one breeder i wish i could Remember His name i know his name and i’ll shout Him out right andrew gammon right he Breeds relatively stable duchy but again I pray and there’s probably a little bit Of social aggression in there as there Should be with the breed so even when These dogs are spread well and i’ve said It three times already i gotta say it Again Even when they’re bred well they are not For you to keep as a pet Oh but has i want a protection dog They’re not even good protection dogs Because the amount of work and i’m not Saying this Okay they can be good protection dogs But they’re not user friendly and most Of you that say i want a protection dog Aren’t exactly what i would call an Experienced user Get a german shepherd it’s easier you Know it’s easier right You get one of these dutchies this is Not user friendly your you and your Family are going to end up in a lot of Problems so i know this will probably Earn me a little bit hey and hey we Train dutchies here all the time this is
Where this is coming from i’m seeing a Lot a lot of duchess over the years and They’re all mostly local locally sourced And they’re not good guys they’re not Good dogs especially for family Situations Okay so i hope i’ve been clear on this Yes you can go to holland and get some Fantastic dutchies if you have to ask me Where to go in holland you’re probably Not experienced enough to have one right If you’re not willing to go to the Hospital because you got yourself Something that’s maybe a little bit more Than you were ready for maybe you just He just caught you slipping one day Right you were doing a little too much He caught you slipping you’re not Willing to go to the hospital and you Don’t want to go to the hospital and you Don’t want to see the insides of Yourself right you don’t want to deal With that kind of smoke so to speak Don’t get yourself a duchy all right a Well-bred one and if you don’t know what You’re doing definitely don’t get Yourself a duchy because you’re probably Gonna end up with one of these All right so thank you guys for watching This will probably elicit some Controversy but it is what it is uh in The us there are some good breeders as Well but again Only experienced handlers this is not a
Dog for the new person and again be Ready you may be going to the hospital Guys obviously there’s a touch of Hyperbole involved in that video but It’s because i really want to get the Message across the other thing is of Course when we speak about a breed we’re Speaking in broad generalities have i Ever met a balanced duchy of course i Have have we ever trained them here you Know of course we have i have we have no Problem training dutchies in fact we’re Quite good at it because we really Understand them and we understand all Their behaviors but they do tend to be Much more challenging dogs on average to Own and they’re up there Top three on my list of breeds that i Really do not recommend to the average Uh family you know or person that’s Maybe not so used to our experience with Dogs because they’re like i said in the Video not user friendly [Music] So [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] You
