This guy’s having a good day. Looks like Autumn is too, actually.

Upside Down Labrador Retriever

Dog of the Day: Giant Sheep… er… Poodle

Baaaaaa… baaaaaahhh… baaaaaaark!  Er, I mean baaaah.

(Two more rather sheepish pictures moved below the break.)

Standard Poodle

Friendly pup. Look at that wool. Uh, fur? Hair? Whatever.

Standard Poodle

Is it just me or does this guy's fur look a lot shorter when he's standing up? What's with that?

Standard Poodle

Look at those legs. I don't know what they look like, but they're definitely goofy.

Dog of the Day: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix

Not sure what to make of this guy: the ears look pure cropped pit but the muzzle looks a little different. (Moved one picture below the break.)

American Pit Bull Terrier Mix

This guy was super-frustrating. I took half a dozen pictures of him but he would NEVER look at the camera.

Dog of the Day: Trainee Assistance Dog Lab

And now, DoSF brings you ‘A Day in the Life of a Trainee Assistance Dog’. Four more pics pushed under the divider.

Yellow Labrador Retriever Assistance Dog

The assistance dog must learn to catch sleep where he can, because he never knows when he will be called upon to take his human for a walk, or even provide a supportive cuddle.

Dog of the Day: Milo Again

Another shot of Milo, since he’s ridiculous.

Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever Mix

Milo is such a ham. Also, he likes having his chin skritched... can you tell?

Dog of the Day: Old English Sheepdog

This guy looks a bit like another sheep dog from a while back, but they’re not the same pup.

Moved two more pictures below the break. (Also: oh god my stomach hurts make it stop.)

Old English Sheep Dog

Somebody got shorn. Sheep dogs look ridiculous when you can't see their faces, but I think they're cuter when they've had a haircut.

Dog of the Day: Chocolate Lab Mix

Can’t neglect the old standards. This fine fellow was waiting patiently outside a Polk Street business while mom/dad shopped inside.

Second picture moved below the break.

Chocolate Labrador Retriever Mix

A little fluffier than a regular lab. The color variation is pretty, too.

Dog of the Day: Yorkshire Terrier

How have we never had a Yorkie on here before?

Moved a second, yorkier picture below the break.

Yorkshire Terrier

Such a pensive pup. I wonder what she is thinking?

Dog of the Day: Scooby the Patterdale Terrier

A new breed for DoSF: the Patterdale terrier. Not just new to the blog, either. Autumn had never seen a Patterdale before, and I had never even heard of one.

Dumped two more pictures below the bark.

Patterdale Terrier

'His Master's Voice' impression. Also, you can kind of see if you look closely: Scooby has a sort of mane. One of his parents was long-haired and the other was short, and he sort of got some of each in different places.

Dog of the Day: Barrett the Akita/Australian Shepherd

An akita/Australian shepherd: a combo I never would have thought of. However, they are two of the prettiest breeds I’ve ever seen. And this pup’s dad was pretty sure that was what he was.

Funny thing, though… both of those breeds are generally pretty fluffy. This guy had fur shorter than any Aussie or akita I’ve seen.

Two pictures moved below the break.

Akita/Australian Shepherd Mix

Look at that friendly face. Someone's figured out that in San Francisco, a stranger is just a belly rub you haven't cadged yet.
