Next to a more typical collie*greyhound lurcher

Next to yours truly -

 

[Rupestris]

Ah, thanks.

I guess it looked a bit taller without you in the pic for scale. And Watchful, you're right. I was going on memory. I checked some Borzoi pics. How could I forget that head shape? Good eye.:thumbup:

GEL99,

That Whiskey is a handsome dog. Seems like he knows it too .

Thank you! Wave a dead bird in front of him and he perks right up.

 

[baldtaco-II]

Thinking of bird dogs, there's one with a face I've seen on here a few times and it always makes me smile. He is Radar. If I remember correctly he belongs to Helle as one of a pair with Kodiak.

He's getting a little grey in the whiskers, and seems to prefer the couch more and more these days.

Also, constant tugging by this little creature doesn't seem to bother him at all.

This is Mara.She`s little shy

And Rambo would be disappointed not to show him

This is Boudreaux and my girls!!

Andy,

How's your little guy healing up after that mauling?

 

[orrey45]

Some good looking animals, I'm partial to the lab and lab mixes though.

I must admit that I was expecting a larger array of dog types. They all seem to be full size working dogs.

 

[Brian Jones]

Baldtaco, Is that a Borzoi?

No, it's a tree-humper!

Great thread, and really nice pics

Here are my two friends,

First, Netta, a ~20 lbs Swedish Vallhund (notice that in the picture she's just found a piece of pitchy stump for me to use as tinder ):

And this is Inka, a Smooth Collie.

Here's both of them, running like crazy...

Believe it or not, on short distances Netta runs as fast as Inka. Even though she's not that big, she really is a big dog in a small dogs body. A real powerhouse, and she doesn't give up, ever!

Inka is a bit softer by nature, but she's really smart, learns almost any trick in a few moments.

Nice dogs. Shes gone now, but the smartest dog Ive ever had.

Maybe I'm sentimental today, but this is one of the coolest dog pictures I've seen in a while. I dunno why it struck me that way, but a beautiful shot.

Here is my new pup!!!!

 

[Rick Marchand]

Here are my two.... Australian Cattle Dog - Black Lab mix...

Indy (right, male, 69lbs) and Calla (left, female, 61lbs)
Last year....

Seven years ago....

Australian Cattle Dog - Black Lab mix

Those have to be smart dogs.

Australian Cattle Dog - Black Lab mix

Those have to be smart dogs.

Often times... too smart!

Indy is happy just being a dog... fetching... walking beside me... etc.

Calla wishes to upgrade to human... refuses to catch, do tricks and often snubs other dogs because they are "uncultured animals". Every once in a while I stick a mirror infront of her for a reality check!

Thanks.
Rick

This is Richard my mountaineering mutt:

 

[dipbait]

Richard is a handsome dog. He looks half Husky.

Thanks. I've given up trying to figure out what he is. Australian Kelpie seems closest, but he sure loves the snow.
