Sorry Zed , ( though not in language, once a teacher always a teacher.)
"hunden"should be "honden". (pron. o )
Hund is German and in German nouns always get a capital to start with.
So: "Hund". (pron. oo) ( plural is Hunde ) No, no umlaut.

It's a pity dogs nor apparently their owners can read very well. (that was a ridiculous, total failure mesurement).

You mentioned one of the problem sides of Holland. Now there is a law to clear up your dogs'mess and slowly the situation improves.
(not quick enough, not enough legal control)
I like the way this works well in U.S. You can walk without beeing on the alert all the time.
