January 2012 - Reward

Post by icvanstra »

The theme for January 2012 is:
EN: reward
NL: beloning (sorry...I'm not sure if this is a good translation -- let me know)

...

The usual rules:
1) please submit one photo
2) you must have rights to the photo that you submit
3) please put the dog's name in your post
4) contest will be open until the around the end of the month ... voting will begin sometime after that.

Going to stress rule #3! :stickman:

Getting the sleeve? Expectation of reward (eyes bulged, body stiffened/shaking)? Chicken feathers peeking out from their lips? Seems like most any photo could fit because you don't have the "before reward" to go with it. I wonder if Eric was inspired by this theme because has THEE perfect reward shot. :lol:

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

Tell us about yourself: I live in Metro-West Boston with my husband and our rescued Dutch Shepherd, Minnie. She loves anything involving activity. Our first rescued DS, Kaya, loved to tug. Our second rescued DS (who actually turned out to be a GSDx), Marley, loved to nap. I volunteer for the North American Dutch Shepherd Rescue and am a member of the NADSR BOD.

You know...this one was really hard, but I have settled on this one...

BUT, it was difficult to not choose either of these (file under "anticipation of reward)...

(said a friend of mine, "It looks like they want to eat the camera!)

Hard pick, Cheryl. How'd you end up chosing the one: flung all of 'em up in the air with some weird criteria? (The one that lands face up with the left-top corner facing northeast....)

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

For fun only...
This was my girl's first birthday treat. She went to the farthest corner of the yard to munch on it. Didn't take her long at all. She's very dainty with her food, and chews well. :lol:
