Dog of the Day: El Jefe the Bolonka Birthday Boy

Posted on May 5, 2022 by Adam Lang

And here we have yet another first-of-breed… third one in the last month! How does that happen after 12 full years of dog blogging? And he’s also a birthday boy… he turned two today!

Bolonka On A Leash
Apparently the Bolonka isn’t actually recognized by any kennel clubs, but they have been around, in one form or another, since the 18th century.
Bolonka Who Looks Like Chewbacca
Bolonkas can look just as much like Chewbacca as Brussels griffons, huh?

Dog of the Day: Buster Keaton the Wire Fox Terrier

Posted on May 3, 2022 by Adam Lang

Buster Keaton (male, 1) is named after an amazing silent-film actor. I’m not sure why, since fox terriers aren’t exactly well-known for being silent…

White And Ginger Wire Fox Terrier Grinning
Every fox terrier I’ve ever run into was almost manically cheerful.

Dog of the Day: Zeppie

Posted on May 2, 2022 by Adam Lang

Zeppie, short for Zeppelin, is three months old. I didn’t get her breed, and with those ears I am not even going to hazard a guess, besides ‘cuuuuute!’

Zeppie really wanted to wiggle out of those arms and go lick everyone’s ankles.

Dog of the Day: Olivia the Duck Tolling Retriever

Posted on April 28, 2022 by Adam Lang

Olivia, according to my notes, is 2, and ‘a little bit aloof’. She’s also big for her breed, and beautiful.

Someone even knows a few tricks.

I have never figured out why some dogs (goldens and Nova Scotias, primarily) have what looks like a little braid at the front of their ears, but it’s adorable.

What a pretty smile.

Double Dog Day: Walter the Great Pyrenees and Clementine the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Posted on April 27, 2022 by Adam Lang

Walter is a full-blooded Great Pyrenees, although I hadn’t seen one with dark ears before. Clementine, on the other hand, is a super-mutt, one quarter Australian cattle dog and that’s the biggest percentage she’s got.

White Great Pyrenees Dog With Black Ears
I thought he was half Pyrenees and half Anatolian shepherd.

He’s definitely a gentle giant, though.

Looks a lot more than a quarter ACD, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Bulldog

Posted on April 25, 2022 by Adam Lang

I think this might be the shop pup for the Fresh Blades Barber Shop, but I’m not sure.

Brindled Bulldog Looking Deflated
I sometimes wonder why the little tiny bit of tongue. Like, do they forget about it? Or do they just need a little tiny bit of cooling?

Sunday Switchup: Dragons and Snakes?

Posted on April 24, 2022 by Adam Lang

I wonder how long this has been around and I just never noticed it? Looks pretty new, so maybe not too long. It’s amazingly well done. Wonder if the artist lives there?

Dog of the Day: Maisey the Cesky Terrier

Posted on April 23, 2022 by Adam Lang

Just a couple days after our last ‘first’, I ran into another new breed today: Maisey (a girl) is a Cesky (Czech) terrier, which is apparently the second-rarest breed in the United States. According to her owner, there are fewer than 50 of them in the US. I decided to post her today because yesterday was her second birthday, so consider this a belated happy birthday to Maisey-dotes!

Grey Cesky Terrier
Despite being a Czech breed, Maisey is actually an immigrant from Belfast, Ireland.

These two cuties (12) are real sisters, same litter and everything. And they’re doing great… they’re only packed up here because they already walked several miles today!
