Dogs are best.....post your dog shots here

oh Sue, what wonderful photographs ...

Yes I think there are different types of Podenco depending on which part of Spain they orginated. As far as I'm aware the original Podenca was from Ibiza - Podenco Ibicenco which is quite big, around 70 cm. Also Podenco Andaluz, Canario, Malagueno etc. Just looked them up on Mrs. Google - they don't in fact belong to the greyhound family although they have a similar build, as they don't hunt exclusively by sight. I can confirm that as my friend has one (from Teneriffa) who constantly has his nose in the air. Like the Huskies, most Podencos can't be let off the lead as they just take off. They have a very sweet temperament though and make lovely family dogs.

The Galgo Espanol is very similar except that he has bent over ears and actually IS related to the greyhound.

The Podenco Ibicenco  is an established breed here - although quite rare - known as the Ibizan Hound. The dog I saw was rather like a small terrier type rough coated crossbreed - could'nt see the point in importing them as we've got lots of little dogs much the same here already!

Looks like a circus lion    My youngest enjoyed it too.

Not sure if this should be in dogs or wild animals 

Not really a fan of dressing up pets but this is really fun!

This is not a great picture, but I want to share the story. Just before Christmas my granddaughter was crossing a car park and a man walked past her carrying a cardboard box. As he passed her he shouted ""Shut up" at the box. He then threw the box into some bushes and walked away. When my granddaughter investigated, in the box she found a shivering bundle of fur. She took it to the vet who said it was a Bichon Frise pup about 5 weeks old. He said that it probably wouldn't last the night, so she took it home and sat up all night feeding it drops of warm milk. This was taken a week later and "Alfie" is thriving. How can anybody be so cruel? Words fail me.##

Loving all the doggy pics - we got our little border collie bundle a little over a year ago.

Here's Snoop at 5 months:



With his favourite toy - a ball!



And the not so puppy-like dog now that we love so much!





But - I have to admit - we have two cats aswell so I'm in the rare cat AND dog lover category! Dogs are great fun though and I'm starting to teach Snoop agility which is fantastic exercise for me and him!

I was thinking The Three A***s! 

Snoop looks a lovely dog 

Here's the shot I like of His Lordship in the snow (having done a virtual removal of lead and harness)

[Soodge]

Yes - he's good fun and cracks us up almost daily.

Your dogs are absolutely beautiful - wish I had the time and space for more 'husky' type breeds. Border collie is the closest that I'm going to get for the time being I think.

Maybe when I win the lottery...........
