Dog of the Day: Rose the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Adam Lang

Rose is a 4-year-old bundle of love. Just one thing that confuses me: Greater Swisses are supposed to be bigger than Berners, but I haven’t seen many full-grown Berners smaller than Rose. Maybe she’s just petite?

Dog of the Day: Zurich the Entlebucher Sennenhund

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Adam Lang

The smallest of the Swiss mountain dog breeds. This poor guy was a little freaked out by the busyness and noise of Polk Street, even though he’s lived in San Francisco for the majority of his four-year life.

Double Dog Day: Mulan and Alexis Redux!

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Adam Lang

I freely admit, I don’t deserve the kind of luck that I got today, when I ran into Mulan and Alexis for the second time in two days! It wasn’t even at the same time, although it was near the … Continue reading →

Double Dog Day: Mulan and Alexa the Husky Puppies

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Adam Lang

I just ran into these two brain-meltingly-cute pups earlier today, at dusk, and was unable to get many decent pictures. But I am totally wiped out and sore (I walked more than ten miles yesterday) and needed something short to … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Cooper the Labradoodle

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Adam Lang

I subbed in for Autumn today, walking one of her clients. And I am in love. Cooper is a super-adorable giant labradoodle that I would totally adopt in a heartbeat if I could.

Dog of the Day: Feliz the Shetland Sheepdog Puppy

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Adam Lang

A 5-month-old Sheltie. Looks very different than most of the Shelties I’ve run across, though. Almost like a smooth-coated collie, sorta!
