Our second hairless dog, and the first Peruvian hairless. And yes, his name really is ‘Motown Superfly’. Possibly ‘Mo’ for short?

Here's a shot that shows his nametag and hoodie to best effect. Skull-and-crossbones with a star eyepatch.
Sorry for the late post. Trying to get rid of a head cold. Ugh.
Haven’t run into any flat-coat mixes before. He almost looks like a pure border collie, but he doesn’t quite have that ridiculous ‘eyes boring into your soul’ intensity that a pure border collie tends to have. His dad says he’s calmer than a pure border collie, too, which is funny: flat coats tend to be a bit hyper and puppyish, and border collies are energetic, active, and can end up neurotic if they don’t get enough mental (and physical) exercise. And the combination is calmer than either one alone? Don’t look at me, I’m not Mendel.
He lives less than two blocks from my house, and I’ve been taking pictures for almost a year and a half now, and I’d never seen him yet. There are a lot of dogs in San Francisco.
(Edit: Added the pup’s name. For more info about him, check out the comment from his dad, in the comments section.)
This gal is a puzzler. She looks like he has some hound in her, and maybe some Lab, and god knows what else. And she has weird fur! The white fur is a single coat, and is fairly coarse — not quite on the ‘wire-haired’ level, but coarser (and longer) than Lab fur. But the brown/black spots have a noticeably different texture: they’re much softer. Never seen that before.
Vinnie is a retired show dog! Although, silly me, I didn’t ask about her record.
At 11 years old, she’s slowed down a little, but she’s still happy to go out on the town. She is a perfect lady: dainty, careful, and friendly yet reserved.
Dog in a bag in a bag in a bag in a dog in a bag in a bag… Say it fast.
Despite appearances, these three were having the time of their lives. The poodle did look a little uncomfortable at one or two points, but he had a pretty effective means of communicating this, and the others apparently backed off when necessary. They had a lot of fun together.
As some of you may have noticed, I’ve given in and linked up my blog to Facebook. Nothing dramatic: it just posts a status update whenever I post my dog of the day, and puts a little ‘like’ button on the bottom of each post. Curious to see whether anyone actually uses these things.
Feel free to leave a comment on this if you like.
Today, class, we will be examining the English Springer Spaniel.

Note the ridiculous ear floppage. This allows them to amuse everyone in viewing distance when they run.
