I know Shar-Peis don't have pushed in snouts, I must've worded the sentence wrong, sorry Dez. I meant that Bulldogs have pushed in snouts. Next time when I'm writing like that I'll make sure it makes sense.

Dog photos. . . .
The Jura looks bi-color.
But the Laughhound (sic) looks black, brown, gray, and white! Curious coloring.

That would be appreciated. ^ I was speaking to Dez actually. Yeah Dez, they are cute! This week is the Greenland Dog and guess where he's from? Yep-Greenland and they're dominant, full of energy, and independent. I'm actually using one in my upcoming story. This is them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_Dog

Distinctive head shape! >> Greenland dogs have been used on many expeditions by explorers, the most famous being Roald Amundsen. Roald Amundsen recorded the earliest known data for Greenland dogs being used as working dogs. He was a successful polar explorer and had a natural gift with dogs. He carefully chose 97 Greenland dogs to accompany him and his team on his expedition to the Antarctic and the subsequent capture of the South Pole.[3]. << Oh! So THAT is the type of dog this very famous explorer used! Bad news for the dogs: when going to the South Pole he started with 52 and returned with 11. I assume some died, and some were killed and eaten. Scott, his rival, relied on Mongolian ponies, who died, and machine, that broke down. They then had to man haul their sledges, and arrived to see the Norwegian flag flying to their dismay. They all died on the way back - why is a big controversy. Was Scott a boob, or just very unlucky? Little of both, I think. Seventeen years later Amundsen vanished while in a plane on a rescue expedition around the Arctic Circle. Here is "new news! >> On 23 February 2009, the Norwegian Navy announced that in late August, a search would be made for the wreckage of Amundsen's plane, utilizing the unmanned submarine Hugin 1000. The search will focus on a 40 square mile area of the sea floor, and will be documented by the German production company ContextTV << Interesting.

>> They do best in homes with large areas to play or owners who provide extensive exercise. Prolonged periods of inactivity can cause them to become restless and unhappy. The Halden does not hunt in packs, as many hounds do. They are bred to hunt alone with their owner. [6] << There you go!

He looked like a goat at first glance with those ears!
>> Coat: Solid fawn, ranging from dark smoky reddish-fawn to light fawn, and black and tan. Fawn may be accompanied by white markings on the muzzle, skull, neck, lower legs, and tip of the tail, and white flashings on the chest <<
So what IS fawn?? It seems to be almost anything.

Fawn is a light brown color, liver is darker. Liver is usually what you see on English Springer Spaniels, among other dog breeds.

Then the one in your avatar looks liver as he does not match the photo color on the link. And read what it says on the link vis a vis color - it seems "fawn" has many variations.

From your first link: >> Coat: Solid fawn, ranging from dark smoky reddish-fawn to light fawn, and black and tan. Fawn may be accompanied by white markings on the muzzle, skull, neck, lower legs, and tip of the tail, and white flashings on the chest. <<
Seems like as I said fawn has great variations.
My point was the description (above) on that site has a very wide variation for fawn.
