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.

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

Some others that I liked of Vada and me. The bottom one is Vada's version of "send out" build up heeling.

Heather - which photo is the one you are submitting for the contest? Let me know and I'm going to move your extra photo's out of this post and into a new one.

....

for the people that asked about the rule of submitting only one photo... this is why. Now I don't know which photo is the submitted photo.

....

p.s. heather you just happen to be the person I'm picking on. Great photo's of the dogs!

Just the first one for each dog (Heather & Letty - Heather and Vada). That's why I did a separate post. Sorry to make it so messy. :(

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.

Cheryl - I had forgotten about that photo! Not long after I bought my camera and was still learning (okay - still learning). I remember that weekend you loaned me your long lens and I walked off with it to go play. ;-)

Rule clarification - each member may submit one photo for the contest. I truly dislike rules! ...and my bosses over the years have suffered for it. :lol:

Before we get too far into the discussion. The entire photo contest is just for fun.

The one picture rule was created simply because I didn't know which picture was the correct one for the contest during some early contests. It hasn't been an issues in a long time until this Month's contest.

The Marjolein rule was created because I had a hard time figuring out which dog Marjolein was submitting and was lazy about figuring it out. If anyone was paying attention I have never pushed it - I just used the posters name or their forum username when voting. This rule could have just as easily been called the "Jan rule" ... those darned Dutch!

The first rule I think is obvious - you must have ownership of the photo you are submitting. For example - Cheryl posted a photo of herself and Kaya that I took. Technically that photo belongs to me. Long ago Cheryl was given my permission to use any of the photo's I took of her and her dogs. Sidenote: we definitely need to have another midwest Dutch Shepherd get together - That weekend was a LOT of fun!

The final rule just covers my rear because someone a while back got a little grumpy because I closed the contest a little early or a little late or who knows what. The contest is open for about a month and closes when I remember to close it, or work permits, or someone reminds me via PM.

...

So .. sit back, relax, enjoy your DS and please above anything else give them a scratch behind the ear for me!

GO AJAX!!!
