bear and shadow

Lately I've been spending some time with some gorgeous shepherd mixes. Bear, who is a five year old husky/shepherd, and Shadow, who is a one and a half year old labrador/shepherd, are lovely dogs with totally different personalities. Bear is very much self-sufficient. He likes to roam the area and is quite determined on the walk. Shadow is very people oriented, and after his initial "OHMYGOD I'm going on a WALK!" excitement, he heels very nicely and sticks close the entire time. Shadow could also play fetch all day long, where Bear likes to lounge in the shade and watch. Both are great dogs... and also, quite beautiful! :)

shadow and penny

Whenever I go and visit my friend, Sarah, I always say we have to take her dogs for a walk so I can get pictures of them. Shadow is a gorgeous german sheppard/border collie mix, while penny is of unknown heritage. We were trying to put together what she could be, and the breeds we were thinking might be in there somewhere are german sheppard, border collie, smooth collie, hound (beagle?) and maybe even a spitz of some sort (because of her tail). What a mystery! Either way, both dogs are fantastic and awesome to watch run and play. Shadow is the black one, Penny is the sheppard coloured one. Enjoy!
