From what Boykin owners say, they don't she'd much. My DD sheds a lot.

I like what I'm reading about this dog. Do they shed less than a boykin, or about the same? I like the look of this dog more than the boykin.


I once thought they were the ugliest beast ever. I did a clinic for Zane Brown east of Dallas somewhere. He had a whole litter of DD pups in a pen there. They were bearded and cocked that head to the side looking at me when I walked up. Those pups were beautiful. I then ran through 25 dogs like butter. Every Dutch there went to the first snake, I slammed the electricity to them and it was over. They needed no more clrification, snake=bad they had it down.

Izzy up at stinkbelly's place in Weatherford. Izzy received the training years ago. I swear if you picked her up and threw her at the snake she would find a way to fly over it. DDs are absolutely smart dogs. No to take away from the labradors at all. I have had them since before I can remember.

Why you call them dutch? Deutsch in Deutsch Drahthaar means German. There are bred to a 100 year old German standard.

You can just make out the snake in the shade.

I traded PMs with Stinkbelly, he has 2 DDs, One sheds like crazy, and one hardly sheds at all. The one that sheds a lot has I thin coat (and has allergies) and one that doesn't shed has a thick coat (no allergies). Makes sense, allergies creates skin issues, they shed a lot and thus have a thin coat, just like my Molly.

I would be pissed if I got a DD and it shed a lot, my only reason for getting one over a lab is the shedding.

Barney agrees, I agree and I am pretty sure Judd agrees also

Not sure I could bring myself to buy a poodle. Saw one run at an HRC training day, it ran like it was afraid it was going to break a nail. It was just one dog I saw, but I remember telling myself I'll never get one. I have read up on them, smart dogs, but they don't seem to have a lot of drive is my impression. My wife would probably love it though.

I been working on the wife for days, it has not been going very good. But today she said "Ok I want to write a contract on what you are going to do when we get the new dog." I got the hook set, just got to reel her in now. grin
