Pics of Your Favorite Dog Breeds...

Recommended Posts

Almost all the Northern breed dogs. Husky, Malamutes, Shiba, Akita, keeshound etc. Though most dogs with prick ears I like. Floppy ears just don't do it for me. However having said that, dogs with cropped ears when they should be floppy are ugly. I think those dogs look better with natural ears. But that is just me.

I have a Shiba Inu and a Siberian Husky.

I dont like ear docking. It doesn't lool good to me and I can't see the point [sic].

That said ; Our Dobe was docked (she was 3 when she came to us) but I still need to take a second look when I see one with an un-docked tail.... still looks a little strange.



We used to sit a couple of Malies (a male and a female).. She was soft and loveable.. He was an arogant SOB. A show dog and seemed to know it.

My favorite breed is "mutt." Here's my shepherd/doberman mix (so we were told by the Anti-Cruelty Society)...

As the Dog Whisperer would say, "a dog is an animal first and a breed second." I train him for the behavior and temperament that I want and ask for on a daily basis.

Mutts are great, my 13 year old is a German Shepherd/Blue Heeler with maybe some Husky. She is absolutely the best dog I have ever had, it's more than well behaved, it's like she naturally knows what humans want.

Such as when hiking she would natural get off the trail to let people pass her and she never went to sniff their dogs. Sherpa on the other hand we actually had to train a command to get off the trail and get out of the way.

It's not that much work, as it (the coat) does most off the work itself. Just for estetic reasons it is required to help a little.
Washing her is another thing....;) after we bathed her (for 3 to 4 hours work) we dry the coat in 2 days time. the floor is clean afterwards though :P

if something is dirty we just cut it off. She has more then hair enough

Mastiffs are gorgeous, aren't they? :)
Here were my babies (Akitas) - http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=4165;. Goliath was black and white (ain't he cute?) and Angela was red and white (sassy isn't she?). Both of them were lap dogs that didn't realize they had outgrown your lap. :D

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Here's Bianca, an 8 month old Bichon Frise. Very smart, very sweet....sometimes she looks more like a polar bear cub!



Do those have problems with 'tearing'? I had a white Cocka-poo growing up and she always had such brown streaks if we didn't keep her eye areas very clean.

My white Boxer has that problem. He get streaks from tearing - as does my black and white cat (his face is white). I am CONSTANTLY wiping their eyes and trying to keep the eye snot to a minimum. :)

we have two boxers, and they are our "kids." really amazing how many looks and expressions they can give us. the white one, Spike, is fearless, and would most likey love to skydive, while the fawn, Daisy, is a big baby, and demands lots of love!
