Dogs you admire

[grizabella]

Following the fun of following some beautiful dogs competing at Westminster, who are some dogs who have caught you eye (not including your own!)?

Some Australian dogs whom I believe to be extremely beautiful include:

Chance the Afghan, I LOVE watching him in the ring.

Zee (a cousin of Bella's), I think she's totally gorgeous, makes me yearn for a brindle grizzle. A grindle? A brizzle? ;D

Miss Bee (Bel's mum's litter sister)

Let's see some pretty dogs then!

I think the link to Zee is missing!

Oh my word, those are all so GORGEOUS.
Saga is a stunner. Eddy's coloring is so rich--magnificent! I love Chane, and Llewis, and all the Salukers. Aladdin looks a lot like Sage (Ulla's sire) did; sadly, he passed away a couple years back. Those glossy blacks, the lovely grizzle, the handsome fiery reds... They're amazing.

Let's see what we've got...well, sadly I couldn't find photos of Ulla's siblings and some other relatives we know (e.g., Latifa, Jackson, Dawn, Sasha, etc.) There are some pedigrees and records of entries and wins/placements online, but that's all I saw.

Buuut, here is her daddy-o!

And her mom, although there's no picture...but several of the dogs in her pedigree have them there, and just as with Sage, they are all splendid! I especially love the reds on her side of the family. She looked a lot like Ulla, and now I can really see how strong the color is on the maternal side. Both pedigrees are very varied in terms of colors, though. =D

I do, luckily, have two pics of Tara nursing the one-day-old newborns...a mostly dark litter, as Sage's black & tan genes were evidently dominant!:




Some others I've really loved:

I totally fell for Eleanor Rigby, the Bedlington...after checking out her breeders' site, I realized that all of their terriers are worthy of that!

GCH Riverwatch Grand Illusion, aka Ariel...perfectly beautiful name for a perfectly beautiful Curly Retriever! ^u^

So many Kuvaszok I've seen that I love...just a handful:

No wonder I liked this 'Zoi so much, just look at her family!

And hooooooow about this coincidentally-named kennel I spotted in Dog Fancy magazine?!: ariaborzoi.com/Aria_Borzoi/home.html

Of course, the fabulous Chanel (and her posse) would be worth a mention.

Loved this guy~

...and Kam as well...turns out he lives with a bunch of prettiful Salukers as well!

And the partis have always been my favorite Cocker Spaniels (surely they're Pinkie Pie's as well), but this somewhat unusually patterned one--Lance, with his "make-up"-like markings--really caught my eye.

There we go, I found Zee:

What a stunning fellow Sage was. Tara looked beautiful as well, albeit a little tired with her lovely babies! Lots of gorgeous redheads behind her, including a very, very distant relative of Bella's (it seems Bella is related to everyone)!

Oooh, so many pretty dogs! Ariel's name is really lovely and fitting. I wish we had Kuvasz here- they are just. so. gorgeous.

*sigh* One could look at pretty dogs all day...

[Gazinghound]

Oh, Zee, you beautiful creature--and such an enviably epic pedigree!
Tara does have that nearly-exhausted, but proud and glowing parent look. :3 LOL! Bella, how do you manage to be related to everybody?! I guess that means you and Ulla are veeeeery distant relatives, too, then! How awesome.
Yep, I could easily oggle and drool over them endlessly...man, somebody's got to open a Kuvasz kennel in Australia!!

Recently I've become quite a fan of the beautiful Sento...
