The Bernese is most easily distinguished from the others.
I saved all the photos.

>> Many French owners embrace this dwarfish hunter and welcome him into their home as a member of their family. <<
With all that pungent cheese in France, and him with such a sharp nose, I wonder if he eats any.
>> put a piece of your clothing or something with your scent on it near where the dog disappeared and you will most likely find the dog in that spot in a few hours or at least by morning. <<
Interesting. Smarter would be not to let him off his lead! Not so?
>> Clean the ears regularly and keep the toenails short. <<
Same with us!

Most hounds you don't want to let off leash because they let their nose do the tracking and will not stop even if you call them. So this week is the Cesky Terrier. They're from Czech Republic and are adaptable, affectionate, and sociable. This is them here: www.dogbreedinfo.com/ceskyterrier.htm

>> It looks similar to a Sealyham Terrier <<
What's the difference??
- - - - - - -
Jerry had a Schnauzer, such as this. >> The Miniature Schnauzer enjoys time and companionship from its owner. Without the proper leadership, it can be feisty and fairly dog-aggressive - putting on a show of superiority without necessarily intending to fight. This can be fairly dangerous for the Miniature Schnauzer, who will challenge even large dogs, <<
Interesting, as his was always well-behaved, yet he never seemed to show any leadership or training efforts. But "Mister Jiggs" was always calm. But I never saw him when he was young.

What's the difference?? ^I have to look at the difference between a Sealyham and a Cesky cause they do look the same. Interesting, as his was always well-behaved ^Jerry's dog was probably trained since puppy hood which it should be and that is why he was probably such a well trained dog. This week is the Dutch Smoushond from the Netherlands and they're cunning, sensitive, and friendly. This is them here: www.dogbreedinfo.com/dutchsmoushond.htm

I wish that site would STOP calling dogs "it". Pretty dog, and seems very suitable for the indoors, although daily long walks with heeling etc might become inconvenient. Ever consider this one for you?

Ever consider this one for you? I have an image of Katie putting money into a piggy bank, saving to pay for passage of a Smoushond to the US!

We're looking into a breed called the Coton de Tulear. And who cares if people call dogs it, Tom. This week is the cute Entlebucher Mountain Dog and they're from Switzerland and are high-spirited, brave, and lively. This is them here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entlebucher_Mountain_Dog

I just want to say that I used to have a purebred Shar-Pei, and they don't have pushed-in snouts. Just an FYI. See? Not pushed in. Just wrinkly. I personally think they're adorable; they're my favourite breed.

I do. It reduces animals, living things, to the status of things, like a chair or old radio, to be discarded at will. Living things are not "it".
>> Entlebucher Mountain Dog and they're from Switzerland <<
Are there any Swiss dogs without the same tri-coloring?
>> See? Not pushed in. <<
Just saw on ABC News a story on this issue. I am waiting for it to appear on the ABC site so I can post it. Check back.

Whoever thinks Shar-Peis have pushed in snouts is crazy! They have anything but those, a pushed in snout dog is a Japanese Chin, Pug, King Charles Spaniel, Pekingese, etc..not a Shar-Pei. People. Living things are not "it". ^If I could find it I would, but I remember you calling an animal "it" one time and it struck me funny because you always said you hated that. Are there any Swiss dogs without the same tri-coloring?" ^There probably are, but the four main breeds of Switzerland are tricolor. These dogs are from Switzerland and aren't tricolor: 1. Jura Hound: www.devrolijkeviervoeters.org/images/jura_laufhund01.jpg2. Luzerner Laufhund: www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/820/35021988.JPGThose are the only ones I could find, there might be more but I doubt it.

Please do and post it, and I will admit to being stupid that time.
I recall no one saying a Shar-pei has a "pushed in snout". Their problem is their skin.
I am soo tired. Remind me to look at the photos later.
*sighs*
off I go. . .

Well.........I guess I'm in the category for liking the "cute" breeds, Robin. And also I meant by that it's not a cute looking dog for Christmas, but true true Shar Peis and Bulldogs (any dog with a pushed in snout) isn't appealing at all! Editing now, yes I've heard of the Hungarian Pointer. I believe it's called something else, yes it is just looked it up! The Vizsla! This is where I got the "pushed in snout" comment for the Shar-Pei. Unless I read the post wrong...
