Are they that rambunctious as puppies?

Yes they are very rambunctious Einstein the big white is only two and is still growing he weighs 180 pounds and still acts like a pup .When he was 4mos old he weighed 75 pounds so think of that size dog with a four month old puppy brain.

This is Brynna. We adopted her 3 years ago from the Keokuk Humane Society. She's had some health problems, but everything is good now! Such a beautiful girl! She's an Aussie/Lab mix. I wish the photos showed her colors better, she's gorgeous merle.

Brynna reminds me of Jazz!

I only have one dog, Jake, a 7yo Australian Shepherd X Border Collie mix.


Standing guard over his ball last winter at the dog park


An "artistic" shot I got of him last summer. That green tinge under his chin is just the glow from the grass, lol


One of the first shots I got of Jake next to one of our cats. He'd hurt his paw and wasn't in the mood to chase them, so he learned a lot during that time and now understands he doesn't need to chase the cats


"Heyyyyyyyy"


Unfortunately, his herding drive is still strong when he's outside. In this pic, he's staring up at Buffy, who was perched at my sister's window


The look of wisdom

Lovely Jake. Nice to see ya here buddy.

My beautiful Soul in one of her last days

It hurts too much to dig up pictures of them right now. We are such bad parents but when they started trying to kill our cats we had to let them go.

I'm so sorry about that, Sam. I didn't know. That's awful. You're not bad parents AT ALL, know that.

My Beloved MR WONDERFUL is at the Bridge with his Neices, Minnie and Corkie and with my my Mom (his late owner (he became mine after her death))

HE was a BIG ( used to call them Royals but not any more - even though he WAS ROYAL) Standard Poodle - a Tuxedo, and he NEVER met a person or a cat he did not love! TRUTH!

He was a gift to my Mom on her 77th birthday and always viewed ME as his sister. They (mom and him) would sit on HIS blue corderoy sofa each night to watch tv and I sat on the floor! ONe day I complained and Mom said "It's HIS sofy!" That ended that discussion!

Schatzi WAS the gift that kept on giving as on Mom's death he became mine, and he was the BEST gift my Mom ever gave me - as he loved all my cats and protected them even from each other! Schatzi huggin Mom

they howl?

This is Nunuk an 18 month old 110lb Alaskan Malamute/Border Collie/who knows from the SPCA.
Acts more like a Malamute than anything else, he loves to pull on the leash and roll in the snow.

Lord you should live next to Siberians they are much worse about howling than the beagles are I don't know but for me...tis music to my ears to hear them howling. I bet my neighbors don't though especially when all three of mine have a concert at 3 am.

I found an old CD with a couple more pictures!

This is Bear's Animal Control mugshot, it shows his colors really nicely, he was 9 months old here.


And this is probably my most favorite picture of him (in black and white). I may actually get it blown up and framed. 10 months old here.
