What is your dog's breed/s?

[bckrazy]

Gonzo is my Border Collie boy. I don't necessarily feel he is "badly bred"... as far as appearance, a lot of people say he's "funny looking" and doesn't "look" like a real BC. These people are mostly those that are used to seeing show Border Collies - which he is far from being. His personality is very BC, though. He is insanely loyal to me & his family, he is smart and catches on to anything, he is wary with strangers, he stares down anything that's moving, he is always ready to go out and play for hours, but he is super sweet and happy to just hang out. I feel like, besides a few of his little "quirks", he's the perfect dog (for me)! I hope I never have to be without a BC... but no dog could ever compare to Gonzy.


Fozzie is a Corgi x JRT x Husky? He is the best puppy I could ask for. He already knows to go potty immediately on command, he has a great recall, knows all of his basic commands, and is truly devoted & attached to his family. Gonzo loves him to pieces and they groom each other often. Fozzie has not met a stranger, human or dog, but he is most affectionate with people he knows. I think he has a total Corgi personality, he's very intelligent & a little bit stubborn, very active, and very goofy! Whatever he is, it's a wonderful mix. =)

Marta & Vallis are corgis. I just love them to pieces, I could go on and on about corgis and often I do! They are very smart, outgoing, and if dogs can have a sense of humor I swear that corgis do. They love to have a good time and they are usually starting a new game, that is when they aren't napping! They are also the worlds biggest suck ups and love to get pets from new people. Oh, yeah, they can also be a bit willful, but I think it just adds to their charm.

My beautiful Marta...

And cute little Vallis


Adele is a greyhound mix- we think maybe she's 1/2 JRT, so we jokingly call her a "jackhound." She's much more hyper than a full greyhound, but she definately has the greyhound need for comfort! She refuses to lay on the floor (like a normal dog), if her bed or the couch isn't available, she will pace until she can steal someone's place when they get up! She's definately not in the running for the doggy Mensa club or anything, but what she lacks in brains she makes up for in affection and obedience....for some reason she listens to everything we say. (Very unlike the corgis, who often have their own agenda). She's a great dog, too, but she's the serious one in the bunch! Can't you tell from her picture? She's very intently looking at something that must be chased:

Border Collies come in all shapes and sizes I'm finding. AKC can go to heck with their Barbie Collie dogs as that is not a BC.

Two of my crew are Aussies and two are Border Collies. Experts......tell me which is which in my siggy and yes this is a challenge.

Visa is a Belgian shepherd. I love the breed because they are active, driven, beautiful, and devoted. They are versatile and amazing at whatever it is they do.

mmkay. Well, Aussies with tails always throw me off, but their facial structure is totally different between the two breeds so I'm pretty sure I know. Cody & Bozy in the back are Aussies, and Buddy in the front & Niki on the right are BC's. Right, right?

Your BC's definitely aren't "Barbie Collies"... they are much, much cuter.

bckrazy I *LOVE* that pic of Fozzie!!

Nebo is a siberian husky.

I love the breed for many reasons. I was originally drawn to them because of their amazing good looks (biased opinion ). I really like the "wolf-like" appearance and the blue eyes, and also their medium-large size. They look like a big dog but they're not that big (40-60 lbs). I also like their thick plush coat that doesn't get very dirty and doesn't smell (though it sheds) and they don't require a haircut. They have great personalities and a wonderful sense of humor. They are generally very good with people and they are not watchdogs. They are also highly intelligent, but stubborn. I know other huskies can be quite vocal but Nebo is very quiet which I love, he doesn't go nuts at the doorbell like some certain schnauzers I know. They are active and enjoy the outdoors, Nebo is the best hiking companion. I could go on and on but I'll stop there.
Reggie and Sydney are miniature schnauzers.

I love Reggie and Sydney but schnauzers are not my breed of choice. My parents have always loved them, my mom really likes terriers. They are sweet and intelligent but they love to bark at everything. They firmly believe they are big tough dogs when they're really not. They are adorable though of course! It's not their fault, but I prefer dogs that don't need haircuts (feet trimming ok) just my personal preference, I'd rather have a shedding dog than have to shave a dog every 6 weeks or so.
