that is part of the fun for these contests... First you have to try and figure out what the theme means and then spend time looking for the photo (or creating a new one)!!

Well, gosh, that was ever so much help!

You may have noticed that Eric added this: >>NL: Afbeelding De Hollandse Herder blik<<

Assuming that's in Dutch, and not knowing any of that language, I thought perhaps I was missing out on some nuance of whatever you guys mean by The Look. Some of these contests have been pretty darn specific on what you're actually looking for.

Anyway, thanks for the help :dsrazz:

Tell us about yourself: Lifelong animal person- I professionally trained horses before my children were born. New to DS's, but not new to high drive working dogs. :) Currently have a 1 1/2 yr old DS, Koenig, and a 2 yr old English Pointer Sara. They are both rescues. Oh yes, I work at a multi species non-profit animal rescue, on Bainbridge Island, WA

Want to know anything else, just ask!

I believe this would be the 'look' of the DS. At least my DS! ;)

Honestly, I had a hard time choosing between the intense eyes of this picture, or a picture of focused heeling. I like this one though.

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.
