The only feature other than its size that sets the Boston Terrier apart from many other dog breeds is how its nose is mostly flat and smooshed in against the front of its face. I love watching dogs run agility courses. Agility competition is even more interesting when there is… Read More

The legs sport tufts of hair flowing off the back of the legs. And the… Read More

Black and Tan Coonhounds have this sad adorable face. Droopy eyes. Long ears that hang down almost farther than the neck. Saggy jowls that hang down well past the lower jaw. And somehow they still look adorable. The little tuft of brown in the eyebrow gives the face a sense of expression and intention. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 640. 1/160 sec. f/5.6.

The Black Russian Terrier is a fairly large dog. If you like dogs with thick fur you would probably like that aspect of the Black Russian Terrier. They have thick fur that looks slightly wiry, but I have never had the opportunity to pet one to verify that the hair feels wiry. The Black Russian Terrier also has an enormous amount of fur around their head and face. They look like they… Read More

Then there are other times when I go to a dog show and see a breed of dogs I had not seen in my previous visits. Until the last few years I had never even heard of a Berger Picard let alone seen one. I always enjoy being introduced… Read More
