Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hello, I am Jan, 54 years of age, and I live together with my wife and our two dogs in the north of Holland, in the small fishermenstown of Zoutkamp. We have a nine year old rough coat DS and a two year old rough coat B(elgian)Shepherd dog, a Laekenois, I'll show them to you in ''Photographs'' although some of you already know them as well as they know me.
Next year we hope to have a DS puppy again and yes, it will also be a roughcoated one.
I'll try to ite in Englis as good as I can and if there might be something you on't undersand pleas tel me so I can try again.

Jan,

Welkom op het forum. Ik beloof om te proberen en niet mijn Nederlandse slager.

Tat ziens,
Eric

Hallo Jan
Good to have you and your rough haired verson here.
Jan takes the most awesome pictures of his (northern) part of Holland. Gives you a real appreciation of where our breed comes from.

Welcome- stunning dogs! I love to see the rough coat.

Hi Jan, and welcome!

Loved your pics in the other thread...

Ook hier?

Welcome Jan!

Eric: keep trying... you're talking about a butcher right know....

Thank you Marjolein. I like to promote the rough cout DS in the U.S.
To be serious, I think it's very nice and very interesting to read about DS abroad, especially in the U.S., that is the main reason why I entered this forum.

I don't know if they're on this forum, but there are a handful of rough coat DS in the US...

Maybe we'll have even more photos of rough coat DS submitted for next year's calendar vote?

I showed these pictures to my hubby- told him he has to come see the Dutch Shepherd pics! He was very confused, and said "thats not a DS....??" It was very very funny! He's read about the different coats, but never seen a good photograph.

Thanks for that link Cheryl, I"ll be sure to check it out.

Were you able to really convince him? Otherwise I invite him to visit us.

Kelly,

Talk your husband into visiting. Not that I'm biased....BUT....it is a great country to visit.

My hubby is from the Netherlands and has taken me several times to visit his family. He grew up near Groningen, and his parents have a home on the island of Texel. It is a nice spot to visit, yum... Krokketen...Saucijzenbroodjes... mmmmm

Coincedence: I was born and raised in the city of Groningen. And Zoutkamp is in the northern part of the province of Groningen.
