    I dont usually go for the 'shaggy' look but I vote for Kernel!! Kenya and Hershey tie for my second faves, they look like fun sporting dogs ... get a good game of tennis ball fetch going ...

    Yeah Kernel gets my vote too... He reminds me of the dog off of Grey's Ant.

    They are all cute! What is wrong with people! The border collie melts my heart, reminds me of my dear departed sheltie.

    Yeah, Kernel is almost a dead ringer for Percy and Quincy when they have their hair. Here is Percy cut down -

    These type of dogs shed in clumps, and not all year round. Brush 'em once a week and they stay pretty nice.

    Zoo! How adorable! Reminds me of a light colored Benji, just bigger.

    My inlaws adopted a stray that is a dead ringer for Benji, just darker. Love that little dog!

    I'm such a sucker for a dog with a beard...it will kill me not to go and adopt Kernel, but having surgery in less than two weeks and not a good time to add a critter, besides, four dogs and two cats all living in the house, my hubby can count...

    Will keep my fingers crossed for all of them.

    Gosh that dog looks so much like Trixie! What do you suppose gets mixed to end up with those cuties? Trixie is nearly all black with brown accents around her face, just adorable and a super personality. I've threatened to put her in my luggage and bring her home! Unfortunately, my hubby can count too, hence "only" the two cats we have now. Dogs are a bit too much maintenance for as much as we are out of town, but one of these days..............

    Zoo... what kind of dogs are those? They are adorable!

    I have a dog that looks almost like those in the face except he weighs about 18lbs and 1/4 the height.

    I'm a sucker for bearded faces too... and fluffy eyebrows. LOL

    Percy - the first one pictured is likely Briard and Bearded Collie - my best guess - in full coat he looks quite different. I pulled him off death row - literally - from Wake County Animal shelter - he was about 1 1/2 at the time and is 7 now. He goes between 55 - 65 lbs depending on time of year. He and Q are Frisbee junkies so in good weather exercise a lot.

    Jimmy - his mother was a small 20lb Terrier - his poppa was a 'traveling salesman' he was adopted out of a back yard in Princeton after a snow storm - he was a year old when he came to live with me. He's 3 now. He stays right about 45lbs.

    Quincy - below in almost full coat face cut back as well as body - is likely Afghan/Briard mix he weighs about the same as Percy...he looks short in this photo, it's the angle I took it from - I was standing on steps, but he has some long legs...nickname is stilts :)

    Q was the one who was the cruelty confiscate I adopted from SPCA Wake - he is 8 now.

    And my little guy, the only one without a beard...Frankenstein...aka Frankie - is a 10 pound terror - got him from the Johnston County shelter when he was about 8 months old... - my $1K $5.00 dog...he was sick when I adopted him...so put some bucks into him to make him better. ..he is going on 4 yrs old.

    He's a feisty little bugger, tough as nails! Half papillon-half LH miniature dauschund...looks like they cut the head off a pappilon and put it on a mini dauschund body- a dog experiment gone terribly wrong...thus his name.

    If he knows you he is loving and sweet as can be, if he doesn't, he can be a scarey little cuss.
