A pack of beautiful dogs.
We have had a number of these different breeds over the year and we have had a couple of Heinz 57 "designer" dogs that were the best friends of all
See if your favorite canine pal is pictured above
Enjoy!
Great series of dogs. Yup, we have a mini doxie and an All American (Heinz 57).
RIO, can you provide another link? The one above takes me to an article with the introduction, but no pictures! I really would like to see the doggies! Thanks!
Vizsla.... The aristocratic clown in the plain brown wrapper.
FLY
A beautiful dog, a neighbor has one that is in his teens and though he is a little slow and stooped he still moves around with dignity and guards the place like he was a puppy, unless of course the burglar wanted to scratch his ears and then he is made welcome

That's weird I just opened the link from the article and there are all the pictures, you can try again or maybe try this one

I have found over the years that the quality of the pet and companion depended less on the breed of the dog than the character of the dog
And over the years, I have had some characters
The term I have always used with the Vizsla breed is "Goofy". Great family dogs.... lousy guard dogs except when it comes to members of their family.
It could be my firewall, on my computer! It blocks things with a lot of cookies-- but this worked perfectly! Thank you!
What darling dogs! I had an Eskimo dog, and loved him very much! He was so beautiful, and was very sweet, to me. He hated everyone else-- even my father!
Thanks so much for the different link, and for the article!
Note: all my dogs now, all 3, are mixed breeds. Sometimes, we're not sure what breed, but we know it's mixed.
What a gorgeous dog! I bet he is a real lovey!
Sounds like the neighbor dog I mentioned
What's your rare breed, Alex? We love dogs, here...
The standard nickname for the Vizsla is the "Velcro Vizsla" simply because they want to be with you all the time. One of the toughest things for them to overcome in obedience training is to have them put on a sit-stay, and have their owner move out of sight. They do everything else with ease. The blind sit-stay is a killer for them.
Was reading about some of them the other day.
I think the Komondor looks very interesting:
Yes... the other dog from Hungary! I've never been up next to one close. Also known as "the dreadlock dog". The Hungarian Vizsla is a short-haired dog, with this one on the other end of the scale to say the least.
I don't know anything about their temperament.
Alex
And the breed is?

Two staunch body guards and guard dogs if every there were two

Pretty dog
FLY
Friendly from the looks of it
They are such cuties! I love Fly's dogs-- they are gorgeous!
I think they are gorgeous!
None of our dogs sit/stay, either. But then, they are not too bright, any of them... Tommy is amenable, but you can't get out of his line of sight, either.
Tommy reminds all of us of Eyore. Like Eyore, he just sits and sighs...
Our family pet when I was very young as a German Shepherd named Rex - he obeyed my Dad (sort of) but treated the rest of us as equals unworthy of giving him orders.
He would stop if you stopped and he would stay so long as you did not move ,,,,
Havanese my girl Gracie
A Mac
That face says "I did not do it" clear as day to me
Beautiful!
Gracie is so cute! To me, her expression is, "Daddy? What are you doing?"
Two darling babies! How we love them!
I've seen one in real life, too-- he sniffed my hand politely, but had no interest in me. Now, if Tommy had been with me, maybe he would have been interested!
I think they look like a giant mop. Darling, make no mistake, but mop like.
I can relate to that. Tommy will stop if I stop, but LuLu and Freddie just keep on going... They have other fish to fry, to be bothered by the likes of me!
My wife says it is their way of letting us know who is leading who
Well, I admit that I'm not in charge!
I saw something about it during the Westminster this year. In order to keep it clean takes a minimum of 24 hours of washing and drying, every week.
Thank you. Thank you. They are spoiled for sure. However since we got a new one about 18 months ago I haven't been giving Sally all of the attention she used to get. I have to get some pics of Molly, the newer one. We bought a claw proof blow up float for all of three of the dogs to use in the pool, but only Molly will. If it drifts to the edge she jumps in and paddles around with her head and paws out front and the rest of her just lazing in the float. She comes trotting back in the house at least once a day soaking wet. Harry hates the pool and won't go near it. Sally only goes if I carry her around. Then she sounds like she's purring. They all three sleep with me too.
Doesn't take a detective to figure out that the dogs are in charge around your house
I was wondering what some of these dogs looked like in real-life pictures... So, I downloaded a few to add to the article:
Max was a little fluffier, too.
Pretty dog!
One more, and I'll quit:
I saw a picture of the "mop dog" online-- at first I thought it was a hoax. But they are very real. (I've never actually seen one in person).
Apparently they were breed as a guard dog, and their "mop" protects them from wolf bites. When an enemy attacks the animals they are guarding, or wants to attack their master's house, they can be quite ferocious.
This is from Wikipedia:
A rare dog that has been brought back from the verge of extinction.
I can't imagine wanting to own one unless yol have some sheep or other animals that need guarding!
There is a good series of videos about different dog breeds on Youtube called "Dogs 101" (There's also "Cats 101"). It says Komondor require lots of grooming. (There's also another breed that looks similar-- the Puli).
Here are the videos about the two:
Vizsla:
Pretty decent video that I have seen before. Our female slept under the girls cribs when they were born, and when she weighed in at 45Lbs, she backed a 70Lbs German Shepard down that wanted to get aggressive with one of our kids out on a walk.
Vizsla's take to training well, but you have to change it up on them as they will get bored.
We've had this breed for 25 years, and have done breed rescue for that long as well. They are tremendous hunting dogs, but not meant for "Buba hunters" who are better suited to German Shorthaired. Vizslas take patience when working them up for each hunting season. Their field hunting trials are done by horseback if anyone cares, and they were initially used by the Magyars paired with falcons.
This is a breed that needs exercise everyday for mental stability. As such, if you're a couch potato, this is not a breed for you!
I have to admit that there are more canines that I would rather be around than people!
So MANY!!
Much fun. Thanks.

A beautiful set of pictures, thanks for sharing them with us

Breed?
FLY

Bob
Glad you liked them - thanks for stopping
Looks like a Pastaranian.
Sorry, I forgot to show the breed.
It's an American Indian Dog. There are about 1,000 of them in the U.S.
They are not a wolf/dog hybrid.
There is a really good link to this. I'll try to find it again and post it here RIO.
KAvika
A beautiful animal for sure
Thanks for the feedback and info
If you don't mind Kavika, I'd like to post some info on the breed.

Origin
Breeders of the NAID state that the Native American Indian Dog (NAID) is being selectively bred to recreate the appearance and versatility of the original dogs of Native Americans. Dogs were the only beast of burden utilized by Native Americans before the Spaniards introduced the horse in the mid-1500s and were an integral part of village life. Dogs would pull a travois carrying the family's belongings, hunt and fish, and were "babysitters" for the children and elderly when the women were gathering berries and herbs. Historical documents authored by missionaries, trappers, explorers and entrepreneurs recorded what life was like for the "Natives" and their dogs and many included drawings, paintings and photographs. It is upon this documentation that the breed was founded and then the name was trademarked by Mrs. Karen Markel, Majestic View Kennels, in the mid-1990s. The NAID today has proven to be a nationally recognized and registered dog breed exhibiting traits the Native Americans admired in their ancestral dogs. They are highly intelligent, versatile, enjoy extended longevity and are hypoallergenic. They are used as excellent hunting companions, therapy dogs, handicap assist dogs, search and rescue animals, weight competition draught pullers, skijoring dogs and exceptional family companions.
Others have claimed that any dog sold as an Indian dog is not a re-creation. Original native dogs are extinct and have been since before the invention of photography. Indians themselves did not have a pure breed of dog. Theirs were mixed dogs. With the arrival of the Europeans, these dogs became interbred with dogs from Europe and other countries. Because the dogs were never a purebred dog, and because no one bothered to study into them much, it would be impossible to "re-create" them. The NAID are a new type of dog started by one breeder.

Thanks for the info - a beautiful dog and a breed I was not familiar with
Here is a link to the foremost breeder and expert on the American Indian Dog. Great story on how the dog was saved and great photos of many American Indian Dogs.
