Here are my two pups. Odin is a 45lb Boston, he's huge for his breed and built like a little tank. He's very protective of us......when he isn't sleeping.
Mousse is our new girl she's just turned 10 months and is about 90 pounds of pure goofball. She's probably as tall as she'll get but we expect that she still has some beefing up to do. Her dad was a Bullmastiff and mommy was a St.Bernard.
she's changed in color quite a bit since we first got her
the quietest time in our house is after a good long walk. The house would have to come down to wake this one up

If you are interested in wilderness survival skills, call me and I will let you borrow my two girls. Take them out to the woods, they take off chasing something (hopefully a raccoon!) and wherever the raccoon goes, they go. And then you go. What forgot your compass? Now you are lost! 
I have spent the night in the woods a few times with these two knuckleheads.

My wife and I operate a business that specializes in rehabilitating dogs with people problems and have a pack of six dogs of our own, every one somebody's reject with a high likelihood of being destroyed. Not only are they a balanced pack, but they get involved in rehabilitating other dogs that come to us through clients, shelters, or veterinary referrals. We live on the edge of some serious pine woods and hiking with our dogs is something we live for.
This is Dusty, our Shepherd/Lab mix who is 13 at the moment and still spry as a pup.
Me with Dusty.
Here's Milo, Lab/Beagle/Border Collie mix who was incredibly food aggressive when he came to us. he's smart as a whip and has the second best nose in the place.
The story is that he belonged to a young woman who lived in a city apartment with a long list of asshole boyfriends. Milo didn't respect anybody because he'd never met a human worth the effort.
Next up is Gunner who was rescued at the last minute from an unjustified death sentence. Incredibly sociable with other dogs, he can bring any fearful or unstable dog out of its shell.
Here's Gunner and Dusty on a road trip.
Now here's Minnie, our Min Pin. She was rescued from a couple who were getting divorced and decided it was a good idea to have both of their dogs killed in the process. Minnie was rescued, the other dog, a Doberman, wasn't. This is Minnie at the end of boot camp. Lots of exercise and good nutrition and she's a dynamo with the BEST nose in the house. On her first hike she had to be carried through any rough spots. Now she's springing over everything and can't get enough of the woods.
Next is Ailsa (pronounced "ILSA"), our long haired Shepherd. She spent the first 2 years of her life in a kennel so people really didn't matter much to her. It took months to bring her around but she's now as good a dog as she is pretty.
Ailsa and Gunner ... and let's play Spot the Min Pin!.
Lastly there's Robbie, our Australian Cattle Dog. Robbie came to us when our vet called to say his owners had dropped by to have him put down for the third time. They claimed he was aggressive and couldn't be managed. They were wrong.

NEW DOG!
Yesterday we adopted Marlie, an 18 month old yellow lab and 'redneck hound' mix. (could be basset, blood, coon, blue, who knows. got the ears, the slightly longer body, the wrinkle skin and the nose)
She's getting along fine with tori, our rottie/border mix.

here is my dog Sirius. i found him two winters ago starving to death in a ditch along side the road. he had been ran over and couldn't move. No telling how long he laid down there because he was literally skin and bones. i took him to the vet and after an xray they found out he had a broken pelvis and a broken leg in 3 places. they gave me an option of putting him to sleep because he was a stray or if i wanted could have his leg amputated
. i opted for the third option of surgery to place pins in the leg and go for a full recovery.
i wasn't even allowed to have a dog where i lived at the time so i had to find a new place to live in the time he was recovering at the vet. all in all he has been worth it albeit expensive
here he is when i first got him home. he couldn't move to well but he was happy just the same. he gained over twenty lbs. in two weeks

Thanks Mark. Mick, the new, used, dog has been with me about 5 months now. I think he is the only spaniel in Wisconsin that had to be taught to retrieve. He's getting there. Not a pure-bred...and I don't think he is really a Brittany. He seems more like a Springer Spaniel to me. Doubt that he ever got out of a yard before he became a stray in Southern Illinois and came to the American Brittany Rescue Association.
But a sweetheart, now frenzied when he sees a shotgun, is learning about pheasants, and with idiosyncrasies, endearing. We are going slowly on insisting on retrieves because everything he meets out here is new.
Neat to see a lot of folks have gone to breed rescue sites and humane societies to get their pets. Young Bert, the not-right dog, is a German Wirehair who is now 11, but was going to be put down by his previous (idiot) owner. For the last 9 years, he has been in bird-dog heaven out in the country with a pheasant hunter. What a tragedy if he'd never been allowed the chance.

My brother in-law with his two dogs.
When ever you get a fish they always rush in to attack it! They're good ratting and rabbiting dogs though.
