Dog of the Day: Siberian Husky

Apparently having one blue eye and one brown eye with a little blue in it, as this guy does (much more visible in the second picture) is called ‘partial heterochromia’. The More You Know™! Two more pictures after the break.

Dog of the Day: Shiba Inu

Another shiba, but this one is kinda unusual-looking. Apparently coloration like this pops up occasionally in shiba inu lines, and is considered a ‘major fault’. (‘Cream’ color variation, not recognized by any kennel club.) Don’t tell her that, though, because … Continue reading

It’s about time for another corgi. And this time we have Ein, a pup I’ve run into a couple of times now in different places. (Once along the Embarcadero, once in Chinatown.) I heard that Ein had a twitter feed, … Continue reading

Double Dog Day: Doofus and Pinky the Dachshunds

I’m not sure which one is Doofus and which one is Pinky. But given the way they acted, I think they both have a bit of doofus in them. Two more pictures after the break.

Dog of the Day: Random Puppy

Dog of the Day: Akita

Our second Akita Inu (or American Akita in this case, if you prefer). What a gorgeous breed! And such soft fur. This one had a patch of fur shaved near the tail, probably for some medical reason, but other than … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Rue the Ibizan Hound

Another first for this blog: an Ibizan hound. In appearance, at least, these guys are said to look like the dogs in ancient Egyptian friezes, and I can certainly see the resemblance. Another picture, after the break. I took thirty … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Kato the Klee Kai/Shiba Inu Mix

Firstly, personal business: sorry for the hiatus. I was on vacation, and getting back to my hotel room exhausted at 11 PM. Admittedly, I was then failing to fall asleep until 2 AM, but those weren’t three hours where I … Continue reading
