Dog of the Day: Vizsla

A somewhat nervous but still gorgeous Vizsla.  As always, if you know the dog, who was seen down near the Caltrain station at 4th and King, say something in the comments.

Also, if you know anything about Vizslas, I’ve always been curious about them.  The ones I’ve interacted with have all been a little shy, especially for a dog of their size.  Are they all like that?

Nope, I was told to stay on this towel, and I'm gonna stay on this towel!

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd PUPPY!

Two pictures of this adorably cute little fuzzy guy.  And I’ll tell you, he’s even cuter and fuzzier in person.

Adorably super-prosh slightly disapproving puppydog!

Dog of the Day: Giant Schnauzer

This guy is clearly Schnauzing for all he’s worth.  And I gotta say, he seems like he’s probably worth quite a bit.

I'm 70 pounds of pure Schnauzing satisfaction

Dog of the Day: Black German Shepherd

I love this guy.  Gorgeous, alert, happy, snuggly, poofly — he’s worth two normal dogs, especially on a cold night.  Ran into him in SOMA, around 8th and Howard, last summer.

I know I'm awesome, but it's kind of you to say so.

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd

A gorgeous Red Australian Shepherd for New Year’s Day.  He’s a little distracted, what with the petting.  I like to think he’s going to have a good year.

As always, if you know anything about this dog, feel free to pipe up in the comments.

Oh yeah, that's the spot, riiight there...

Featured Dog: Finnish Spitz

Let’s call him the Dog of the Year.  He’s pretty awesome dog, and one you don’t see every day: a Finnish Spitz.  I’ve run into this same dog a couple times in the same place, outside the Crossroads Cafe down in SOMA near the Embarcadero.

What dog plans or desires do you have for the new year?  Do you have any dog-related victories or regrets from last year?  Share them in the comments.  And look below the fold for two more pictures of this gorgeous pup.

Oh, hi there.  Can you tell I'm hungry?

Dog of the Day: Boxer Pup!

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post.  Things got pretty busy over the last week, and it didn’t help that I got sick.  And then there were the plane flights and so forth, and … yeah.  I know.  Excuses.  What can I say, I suck.

Anyway, to make up for that, have an adorable boxer puppy.

Lemmee sleep.  Carrying around a backpack three times your size is exhausting!

Dogs of the Day: a Pair of Christmas Corgis

Your Christmas present for this year: a pair of Cardigan Welsh Corgis. I can only assume that the muzzled fellow is not good around other dogs, as I have met these two on multiple occasions and they have both been perfect gentlemen. (And by that I mean cuddly!)

Have any Christmas dog stories? Share them in the comments.

Edit: A bigger version of the picture.  Still learning about this bloggity stuff.

I'm a softy, but my friend there is a vicious killer!  Yeah!

Dog of the Day: Soft-Coated Wheaton Terrier

Not 100% sure about this breed identification, but I am 100% sure he’s awesome.  Also: FLUFFY!

R-A-G-G-M-O-P-P RAGMOP!

PS: I call them ‘Wil Wheaton Terriers’.  This is almost certainly because I’m a bad person.

Dog of the Day: French Bulldog

An inscrutable French Bulldog, for your enjoyment.  Does he remind anyone else of the antagonist from a spy movie?

No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die
