Jesus Christ! It’s a lion! Get in the car!
We don’t really know what this guy is. He looks like he’s all terrier, and he has the face and fur of a Glen of Imaal, but he’s way too big. Wheatens are big, so…
Four more pictures after the break.
I dunno. I feel sorry for the dogs that get shaved like this, but at the same time, they do give me the giggles...
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.
He may not be a full husky: ears that flop are unusual, but not unheard of, for purebred huskies.
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 she knows she’s fine just the way she is.
A close-up, after the break.
I love the cream face with the brown ears.
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, but I didn’t catch what it was called and I can’t find anything terribly likely to be her. I do wonder if this is her linkedin profile, though.
Several more pictures, after the break.
Someone knows exactly which side of the bread the butter is on, and just who to suck up to.
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.
Not sure I've run into a cream-and-white dachshund before.
Stab in the dark. The stumpy tail and floppy ears said ‘Aussie’ to me, except I found out that Rottweilers sometimes have natural bob-tails. (I thought they were always cut off.) And her face is a bit Rottie-like. And the saddle pattern is all shepherd. I expect Autumn will weigh in on this one too.
Ran into this gal waiting for her dad outside of a restaurant. She looked so forlorn that I had to go say hello.
Three more pictures, one with a bonus Chihuahua, after the break.
Well trained pup! Just sat there on the bench, waiting patiently and looking forlorn.
Moll is, at least according to her guardian, definitely half-shepherd. And it’s pretty obvious in any case. The Finnish spitz half was a guess on my part. We’ll see what Autumn thinks in the comments.
Two more pictures after the break.
So pretty. I wish I had hair like that. Then again, I wish I had any hair at all.
I have a huge headache, and I just spent half an hour editing a series of pictures of an awesome great Dane, and discovering, one picture at a time, that not a single one of them was even up to my relatively low standards. So… have a picture of a random unidentified puppy chewing on my finger.
Tiny super-sharp teeth. Was okay, I wasn't using that thumb anyway.
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 that was very lushly furred.
Two more pictures after the break.
Apparently most Akitas are kind of shy or standoffish. As you can probably tell from the picture, that wasn't the case here.
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 pictures of Rue. Two of them turned out okayish. Bah.
[Edit: Turns out it’s ‘Rue’, and not ‘Roo’. Who knew?]
Look at that face. Ibizan hounds apparently always look a little worried, or sad. And look at the tail, which is tucked so far down that it resembles... er... something else. Rue does seem a little worried, or at least cowed.
