dutch sheepdog

well i got to animal control yesterday to get einys dog tag what a trip

i get nearly all the way there i think (i'm lost at this point) the the gps says keep going and my son throws up all over the car just great

so i turn round go home and clean him up and leave him with nanna and off i go again

i get there and for a place in the same small town as me i sure took ages to get there i must have gone te long way round

the receptionist says what sort of dog is he ? conversation follows:

me: hes an old english sheep dog

her: thats not in the system

me: but it a registered AKC breed

Her: we just don't have it

me: oh you know the shaggy dog movies dog / dulux paints

her: does it look like anything else?

me: er a bearded collie

her : not got that either

me : well i don't know

she calls the superviser

superviser: oh well dutch sheepdog will do that close to england isn't it?

me : whatever here $10 for the tag

i leave

Hi Zoe! Glad you, your family and Einy made it safely to the states. Sorry for the stupid lady at animal control. It's not you, it's them. I think you're going to get a lot of questions about Einy since obviously sheepies are a "rare breed" where you are. Consider it an opportunity to educate people!
Lol. Maybe it would have been easier to ask what they did have in the system! You'd think AKC breeds would be on there. I've never even seen a Dutch sheepdog in person. But, at least it's close looking, even though the colors are reversed.

Schapendoes (Dutch Sheepdog)
I have never even heard of a Dutch Sheepdog :D So I think it is funny that they have those "in the system" but not an OES :lol: :roll:
Wow... I'm amazed they wouldn't have it in the system either...
How weird!
I've heard of the Schapendoes before...I remember cause I think the name is funny.
How cool that you now have a dutch sheepdog! :wink:
Zoe, I hope your son is feeling better.
My sister lives in Vero Beach and I have to have GPS to visit her. The roads are crazy down there - and the islands don't help.

Next time take Einy with you. That will make all of the difference.
wonder if the dog was listed as a Bobtail?

How.....stupid.

Dutch sheepdog sure is cute!
I find this hilarious!! It's so typical - rather than fix their system just assign something "close enough" and go on. :roll:
:lol: :lol: What IDIOTS!!! I've never even heard of a Dutch Sheepdog before.

Sorry about all your drama. Hope you son is feeling better.
That's really weird. They should have added it to their system!!
