Dog of the Day: Small Scruffy White Terrier Thing

Posted on November 10, 2010 by Adam Lang

I’m so lousy with identifying the small scruffy terriers. I really don’t know what this guy-or-gal is.

Two pictures moved below the fold.

Oh my God... 1970 wants its dog vest back?

Dog of the Day: Malia the Samoyed

Posted on November 9, 2010 by Adam Lang

I don’t know, I just don’t know. I’ve seen quite a few Samoyeds in my time, and I’ve never seen one quite like Malia. Her coloration is a little darker than any I’ve seen before. (I’m not sure if it conforms to AKC or not… apparently they can be ‘biscuit’ colored, but it doesn’t appear that anyone is willing to define biscuit coloration.) I thought her proportions were a little off too, but the more I look at the pictures, and at pictures online of Samoyeds, the more I realize that I’m on crack. Oh, and that I’m wrong about the proportions, too.

That said, she’s ADORABLE! And fluffy and cute and cuddly and happy and just about everything you could want a dog to be. Except ours. Le sigh.

Oh, by the way, I’ve included my first ‘dog rap’ in the hovertext for the photos. Please take any criticism out and bury it in the yard. And I’ve now stuck five of the six pictures below the break.

Samoyed

Malia was super-photogenic. Sadly, her parents weren't as well trained, since they stood in her light in just about every photo.

Dog of the Day: A Quick Corgi Pic

Posted on November 8, 2010 by Adam Lang

Didn’t get home until after 1 AM last night, and didn’t have any pictures queued up, so I didn’t get anything posted until now… and now I’m at work. So here’s a quick apology corgi.

Dog of the Day: Eddie the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Beagle Mix

Posted on November 7, 2010 by Adam Lang

Eddie is a whole lot of dog in a small package. He’s multi-talented!

Four more pics, now tucked below the break.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Beagle Mix

He's a very obedient pup... for perhaps fifteen seconds at a time. I'm sure that number will go up when he grows up a little more.

Dog of the Day: American Cocker Spaniel

Posted on November 6, 2010 by Adam Lang

Don’t look now, but there’s a happy cocker spaniel coming your way! (Just one pic tonight, since I’m feeling lazy.)

She's comin'! She's comin'! Better hide right now if you don't want your ankles licked!

Dog of the Day: Sammie the Foxhound (?) Mix

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Adam Lang

Sammie was a perfect lady, even despite her temporary impediment. Beagle/Labrador retriever was her mom’s guess, but those ears just couldn’t have come from that combination, I don’t think. Plus, her body and her head are very similar to that of a foxhound. I don’t know what gives her ears that special little loft, though: must be from the other side of the family.

Dropped two additional pictures below the fold.

I guess she does look a little less than happy with her 'cone of shame' in this picture.

Double Dog Day: Buddy and Gia, German Shepherd Mixes

Posted on November 4, 2010 by Adam Lang

Ran into this pair on the way to work a couple weeks ago. They look pretty similar, but they’re apparently not related. Nobody’s sure what Buddy (black and tan) is mixed with, and the guess I heard for Gia was ‘dingo’. Could be, I suppose.

So yeah. This was posted November 3, so it appears that I have survived the election with at least part of my brain intact.

Two more pictures moved below the break.

Two German Shepherd Mixes

They look like brother and sister, don't they? The goofy one and the serious one.

Dog of the Day: Dachshund

Posted on November 3, 2010 by Adam Lang

I queued up this post Monday evening, so I wouldn’t have to bother (or bother you with my blathering) on Tuesday evening. So it is not necessarily evidence that I have survived the day.

Moved a second picture below the fold.

Blarg mumble gromf. Hope you voted.

Double Dog Day: Pair of Cairn Terriers

Posted on November 2, 2010 by Adam Lang

These two are twins, and full of sibling rivalry…

(Also, vote, goddamn it.)

(Also also, moved two more pictures below the fold.)

Cairn Terriers

Cute and fluffy and just generally fairly disgruntled-looking.

Dog of the Day: Fiona the Goldendoodle

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Adam Lang

Fiona (Fi for short, never Fi-Fi or Feeferz!)  is more of a platinum blonde than ‘golden’, but she’s definitely a doodle.

Just hid the second picture below the fold.

Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever/Poodle Mix)

Golden Retriever/Poodle? I would never breed those two together. I'd be worried they'd get smart enough to figure out how to drive.
