I have an Entlebucher. "A what?" is the next thing people usually say! The breed's one of the Swiss Mountain Dogs, along with a Bernese and a couple other breeds nobody's heard of! He's a great dog, very smart, loyal and obedient.

Boxer "Bo" is my ever present shop helper. Lays by the door when I'm working and puts his head in my lap when I sit -- yes, he gets a treat whenever he wants!

From the pound. Got her about 5 years ago, when she was around 2.
We've got 2 rescue dogs; a rat terrier and a black lab/plott hound mix. We got the little ball of energy, the terrier that is, about 7 months before the lab. When we lost our English Setter we knew we wanted another dog, but a totally different type--terrier fits the bill. We then lost our chow/shepard mix and went for the lab. They both came from the same rescue; in fact they were together for a little over a year before we got them. It is unbelievable how well they get along; they are truly best friends.

Two Drahts. Most excellent hunting dogs and pheasant hunting season opens tomorrow!!!
And by the way a skunk tried to get in the kennel with Rosie last night. Not a good thing to try with a Draht. Rosie killed it, ate the head and legs off from it. She is such a sweet dog!

I have 2 Belgian Sheep Dogs. They are bright, energetic, and very neurotic. It takes a very gentle and consistent approach with these dogs. I am not a big fan, but my wife loves them, and I love her, so...
Our dog Daysha, product of the local pound, and her nemesis, Sylvia, a.k.a. "The Cat".

We have 4 and they are great fun to have, live in the house or should say (take over the house). Sunny shows them, people ask me why I don't but my job is transportation, security, and turds.

We have about 60 , they come without hair, with mange and worms and whatever but in 3 months they look like new. My wife was going to have a rescue center for street dogs but instead we have a adoption center. Once she gives one a name it never leaves again.
Here is an example , Toby has been with us 6 or 7 years and is doing well.
The next are Leal before and after and the next is Zarina stealing a box of Dunkin Donuts. We heard she was brought to town to be in dog fights but she just rolled on her back.
The last is Mancha a Great Dane giving a freind a kiss.

Thanks for that Jerry. It was a tough program and on a few of occasions I actually thought about letting him die. But I am glad I didn't. He put up such a fight to live I felt he deserved the chance. I think he may have a collapsed or damaged lung as he breathes funny and gets puffed out quickly.
It does not stop him from chasing rabbits and doing all the things an adolescent dog does. He makes me laugh at least once every hour with his antics.

Two rottweilers. Really nice dogs. Breed has a bum rap about being mean. About 120 lbs each.

Black Lab mix. He is a rescue dog found as a puppy on Huenme Road. Grew to 100 lbs of friendly muscle.
Our two vicious attack pugs...Fred and Ethel.

This is my buddy Max, his mom was a rottie and his dad was the uninvited neighbors shepherd
Only male in the litter... that explains the ear. Here he is hiding from the big black thing.

Never seen a lab/shar pei mix, interesting. Looks like stormy has a deep voice.
Funniest mix I ever saw was at the vet when a woman brought in this little black dog. The thing was tiny, but totally had the big dog alpha attitude, so I had to ask. Turns out it was a Pekinese/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. Not really sure how that happened... I'd guess there is a Bernese out there who is still mystified as to how she got pregnant, and a Pekinese tellin' all his friends "you'll never guess what I pulled off..."
