Dutch Shepherd Forum

For this month we are going with a Dutch tradition: Sinterklaas. There are numerous theories where the American version of Santa Claus comes from - just ask any Dutchman and they will tell you! Sinterklaas is the original "Santa."

So the theme for December 2011 is:
NL: Sinterklaas
EN: Santa (I double dog dare the non-Dutch members to come up with a Sinterklaas photo!!)

...

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!

K-Czar

Cute!

This new contest is not going to be easy. But I like K-Czar

Very cute pic of K-Czar!! Well done!

That is one happy looking pup!!

Thanks guys...

Happy Sinterklaas eve everyone

To you too Eric. We will know in the morning if we woke up to presents (like Santa Claus delivers here 19 days later) or another surprise, like being carried off to Spain, because we have not been good this year.

I've been good apparently, not in Spain No present either..."Sint" ordered them too late on the internet... expected arrival is Dec. 8th

To bad for you. In Spain the weather is probably a whole lot better as it is here today (and yesterday and tomorrow).

I too managed to escape the jute sack on the steamboat to Spain. Amazing.
It is the same here, though. You may not get taken away by Santa Claus, but he could certainly skip your house with presents. I saw a T shirt the other day that said:
Dear Santa....define "good".
But I digress. Back to the pictures of Sinterklaas. The ones I have do not include Dutch Shepherds.
They must have kept the old man from coming down the chimney.

Starting to look like this will be VERY easy with only 1 picture so far, but I too think K-Czar looks great!

Vader and Willow.

Now we won't get any present's this x-mas... BOOOOOHHOOOOHOO

Oh man................

Well Christie, that will certainly make voting a little harder!
