Dog Pictures: Siberian Husky Or Alaskan Malamute? Big Dog Breed Either Way!

Dog Pictures: Siberian Husky Or Alaskan Malamute? Big Dog Breed Either Way!
Here we go again with me taking pictures and not getting the 'specs' on the animal. This is a big dog, and a beautiful dog. Not really a puppy dog at all. I have, however, done my research, and I believe this is a picture of an Alaskan Malamute. At first I thought it was a picture of a Siberian Husky, but then I read more about them both.

The Siberian Husky is actually somewhat smaller than an Alaskan Malamute dog. According to the American Kennel Club, the Malamute goes to 75 pounds for females and 85 pounds for males. Of course, there are plenty of Alaskan Malamutes out there weighing more than that. Siberian Huskies go more along the range of 50 and 60 pounds, female and male respectively.

This dog looks like it weighs closer to 75 pounds than 50 or 60. But hey, I'm no carnival weight guessing pro! This is a working dog breed, that's for sure. You may have guessed this already... the Alaskan Malamute was bred to be an Alaskan sled dog. That's right, this dog was originally bred for pulling sleds in Alaska! Well, this particular Alaskan Malamute is living a LONG way from that job, in Dunedin, Florida!

If you'd like to read more about the Alaskan Malamute, check out the AKC link above, or read the entry on Wikipedia. Oh, and check out the pretty pair of Collies in the background. Very pretty.

Dog Pictures: Smooth Haired Standard Fox Terrier Dog In A Top Hat!

Dog Pictures: Smooth Haired Standard Fox Terrier Dog In A Top Hat!
Now I've gotta tell you right up front, I can't guarantee that I'm right on the breed this time. I mean, it's obviously a small breed dog, and sure looks like a terrier to me. When I went searching images online, Smooth Haired Standard Fox Terrier is what I came up with. Should it be miniature also? Or is this the standard size for this handsome little puppy dog? The white color with brown patches seems to match.

Either way, for being small breed, he sure looks like he can hold his own. As if the top hat weren't jaunty enough, closer inspection reveals he is wearing a BOW TIE as well! I love it! If you're curious to learn more about this small dog breed, both the Dog Breed Info Center and Wikipedia have excellent entries on the Smooth Haired Standard Fox Terrier.

Dog Pictures: Styling Pembroke or Cardigan Welsh Corgi Too Classy For Dress-Up

Dog Pictures: Styling Pembroke or Cardigan Welsh Corgi Too Classy For Dress-Up
This pretty Welsh Corgi knew she was looking too good to have to dress up for the parade. The classic pink collar was all she needed! I'm sorry to say, I can't tell for sure if this is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi or a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. If you know, leave a comment and let me know! Thanks.

According to Wikipedia, Corgis are one of the oldest herding dog breeds, and they can be extremely loyal family dogs. However, they need an amount of daily physical exercise that is surprising for their size.

Dog Pictures: English or Old Time Farm Shepherd Meets Whippet or Greyhound

Dog Pictures: English or Old Time Farm Shepherd Meets Whippet or Greyhound
Honestly, I have got to remember to ask more questions when I meet these pretty dogs! The one on the left is either an English Shepherd, or an Old Time Farm Shepherd... I think. I went through a long list of dog breed photos to try to figure out which it is. And the same goes for the other dog in this photograph, which I believe is either a Greyhound or a Whippet. It's a very thin dog just the same.

They were certainly working hard to make friends at the moment that I snapped this shot. Both handsome dogs to be sure, but I prefer the shepherd on the left. If any of you visitors knows for sure which breeds these dogs are, please leave a comment. Thanks!

Dog Pictures: Cute Little Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy Standing
How about taking this little guy home? That is one very cute Bernese Mountain Dog puppy standing with his owner. Who's legs are the hairier? :)

I have to admit, if I had the right place for it, I would take this cute little puppy dog home in a second. But then, that's why they are so cute, right, to make sure we want to take them home? Haha.

According to Wikipedia, the Bernese Mountain Dog is also known as the Berner Sennenhund in Swiss German. They are also called Berner, Bernese, and The Little Bear of Switzerland. Cute, eh? These dogs were used to pull small carts and wagons in Switzerland. As you can imagine, that means this dog definitely qualifies as a large breed dog, and a working dog!

Dog Pictures: Can You Say Dalmatian? Hi Spot!

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dog Pictures Dalmatian Breed Standing Dog Spotted Puppy Dog
See Spot. See Spot run. Run Spot run! Anybody else remember stuff like that? I wish I had some of those old readers from grade school. What a hoot. I have to admit, there are times when I wish life were that simple still. I found an interesting article about the Dick and Jane books being published again. Wouldn't that be fun.

What a pretty dog this is. Looking a little tired or bored, but still, a really neat looking Dalmatian dog, standing near his owner, wondering when it will be time to eat again! His left front paw is taped a bit, and I hope it was minor and healed fast!

According to the Wikipedia Dalmatian entry, the country of origin of these beautiful dogs is the region of Dalmatia in the Republic of Croatia. It sounds like the earliest references to Dalmatians me be as old as 1792! Wow!

Dog Pictures: Beautiful Australian Shepherd Taking A Break

Dog Pictures: Beautiful Australian Shepherd Working Dog
Wow, that is some pattern on this Australian Shepherd's face, very pretty dog. Although the breed is classified as a working dog breed, I think, this one seems to have a pretty good gig at the end of the hot pink leash. Love those cool shoes in the background too. Someone had to be pretty brave to wear those beauties out in public.

Dog Pictures: Standard Poodle Showing Signs Of A Drinking Problem
Seriously, I don't mean to disrespect this snappy dressed poodle, but seeing the way he has dressed himself, in public, I have to wonder if perhaps there is a drinking problem at home. You know, I'm just saying... Who doesn't love dog pictures? HAH!

And how about those cool green boots in the background? LOVE IT!

Dog Pictures: Corgi Dog Puppy Eyes Big Ears
Nice looking dog, eh? This Corgi looked up at me, and I thought he could see right through me. What a handsome dog. Wow, what big ears, eh? I like Corgis as much as any other dog, and this one has quite an expressive face. I thought it was very nice of him to stand still for me while I took this photograph.

That's one pretty dog if you ask me. This Weimaraner has the prettiest silver gray coat. Talk about a sweet looking dog. From looking at his ears and paws, I get the feeling this cute little puppy dog will not stay little for long. These are the kind of puppy and dog pictures we love.
