Triple Dog Day: Opata, Poofy, and Pisika the Poodles

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Adam Lang

A fearsome threesome: Opata (boy) and Poofy (girl) are 8-week-old poodle puppies, and mom is Pisika. They were MURDER to get a good shot of, being so hyperkinetic that several of the shots where I was trying for all three had not a single dog in the frame at all by the time the shutter closed.

Two Apricot-and-White Poodle Puppies

There’s a reason they call dogs this size ‘toy’. They totally look like little stuffed animals. So cute!

From what I recall, this one was definitely hiding from me.

Hee. I love the little face poking out from under mom.

All three of them were playing like puppies.

Dog of the Day: Louie the Border Collie Mix

Posted on March 14, 2013 by Adam Lang

Louie (9 years old) is a mellow, cheerful sort.

Black Border Collie Mix with Short Legs and a White Chest

Hmm. Dachshund/border collie, maybe?

Those are pretty much what I think of when I think of dog eyes: brown and soulful.

Dog of the Day: Pancakes the Golden Retriever/Pembroke Welsh Corgi Mix

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Adam Lang

We haven’t had a corgi/golden mix since our last round of Holly pictures.

I knew just what we had here when I saw the half-up ears, the stubby legs, and the golden fur.

Dog ear genetics baffle me.

Kind of a neat place to play fetch.

Happy face, and waggy tail-blur.

Dog of the Day: Ruby the Sad-Faced German Shepherd

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Adam Lang

I’m pretty sure Ruby has nothing to be sad about: she’s healthy, has a loving family who she’s been with for ages, and has the most ridiculously adorable ears in the history of ridiculously adorable ears.

Is that blue merle coloration? On a German shepherd? How strange… other than that, she totally looked like a 100% purebred GSD.

Aw man, it must be murder eating dinner with that face looking at you. “Are you SURE I can’t have some of your steak?”

Dog of the Day: Small Münsterländer

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Adam Lang

Autumn and I were walking along, and Autumn said, ‘Hey, that looks like a Small Münsterländer!’ And lo, it was.

It’s not often I get to trot out the umlauts.

Small Münsterländer

Older guy, but still spry. They have a really distinctive coat, don’t they?

Small Münsterländer

Hah, I like that expression.

Coldwetnose.

Site News: Still Broken

Posted on March 10, 2013 by Adam Lang

Just to keep you all up to date: the site randomly decides whether it wants to post my updates or not. I have to manually check later in the day to see if my last post went through.

Think I’m going to need to experiment with a different hosting setup and see if that’s the problem.

Dog of the Day: Golden Retriever Puppy

Posted on March 10, 2013 by Adam Lang

Ran into this little gal when I was out and about with some friends of mine. She was locked in a pickup truck for a couple minutes while dad ran into a house to grab something, and REALLY REALLY wanted to come out and play with us. Just as we were leaving, dad came out and got her and I snapped a couple shots.

SO. CUTE.

Oh god the puppy belly. Save me, I’m drowning in cute!

I think these two are going to have a great time together.

Dog of the Day: Stitch the English Setter

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Adam Lang

Stitch is 10.5 years old, and still going strong.

English Setter

Yes, that is a ‘Dogs of SF’ business card in the background there.

They’re outside a local Polk Street cafe. It’s always a great place for dog-watching.

Dog of the Day: Oliver the German Shepherd/Greyhound Mix (with Guest Pomeranian)

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Adam Lang

Oliver totally reminds me of a cartoon dog I have seen somewhere, but I can’t remember where, or even in what context. Someone help me out here!

(It’s funny: I guess he’s been around the neighborhood for a while. Since I saw him three weeks ago I have seen him twice more, but I never saw him before. I’d remember.)

Tricolor German Shepherd/Greyhound Mix with Classic Saddle Markings

For some reason I find Oliver goofier-looking than either German shepherds or greyhounds. (That’s okay, Oliver… goofy is good!)

Oliver likes everyone: people, other dogs, whoever.

Very expressive face.

Polk Street is a fun place to take pictures, because there are so many dogs that you can watch the dogs, and then watch the dogs watching the other dogs.

And there’s a happy expression, which seems pretty typical for Oliver.

Dog of the Day: Gorgeous Malamute (Mix?)

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Adam Lang

Is it just the angle of the shot, or does this dog look like she has a little corgi in her?

Red-and-White Alaskan Malamute, Possible Mix

That’s an awfully pensive expression.

This is a picture from quite a while ago, at Bay to Barkers.
