Are You A Puppy Nerd?

January 22, 2009 By Colby 2 Comments

I know there has to be other puppy nerds out there. I hesitated showing this picture because it truly shows that I am a puppy nerd. If you enjoy this picture as much as I do then you may be a puppy nerd too. It’s not just the image, but the headline that went with it. So, lets see if you like me are a puppy nerd.

I found this one amongst the many images at Puppy Parade.

Where Dat Puppeh ATAT?

If you read the headline: Where Dat Puppeh ATAT? and then looked at the image and found it amusing then you are probably a Star Wars nerd like me. If you just thought it was a dumb headline with a stupid toy and a cute puppy then breathe a sigh of relief…you’re normal…

Big Puppy Paws Equals Big Dog

January 19, 2009 By Colby 2 Comments

It’s an exciting day…you’re bringing home that puppy for the first time…you introduce him to your friends and family and they all say: “He’s got big paws, he’s going to be a big dog!” That’s what happened with my last three puppies and I’m sure I’ll hear it again. In fact, my dogs did end up being on the large side, but it takes a little bit of time before they get those gigantic feet.

Case in point is this picture I recently came across. Take a look:

That’s a mommy and her puppy. I think you can tell that first, the puppy’s paws are small and second the puppy will eventually have large paws. Yikes! now that’s a big different in paw size. Can you guess what kind of dog this is? I’ll make it a little easier for you. take a look at this picture:

Do you know now? That’s mommy with her pups…they are Newfoundlands a wonderful breed that can grow in excess of 100 pounds. Now those are big paws and a big dog.

I came across the puppy paw photos and thought it was too adorable not to post. I hope you enjoy!

How Many Sprollies?

January 5, 2009 By Colby 15 Comments

While browsing through my RSS feed I came across another great puppy photo from the PuppyParade. I was trying to figure out what breed of puppies these were because they or absolutely adorable. If you go to the flickr stream by clicking the title: The Calm before the storma you can see more great pictures of the litter.

After viewing some of the other images I was thinking some looked an awful lot like Springer Spaniel, but I also thought mixed with some other breed. Here’s what I found in the tags: Sprollie, Springer Spaniel, and Border Collies. I’ve never heard of a Sprollie before, but I guess it’s a mix between a Springer Spaniel and a Border Collie. These puppies are adorable Sprollies!

Take a look at this picture and tell me how many puppies there are.

How Many Sprollies Do You See?

Did you guess 6? You need to go back to school and work on your math skills!

Did you guess 7? Pretty good, but not quite there yet.

Did you guess 8? As far as I can tell 8 is the correct number. If you look closely just off to the right side of center of the image you’ll see puppy number 8′s head and if you scan to the top of the screen just below the black and white puppy at the very top you’ll see the end of the puppies butt.

Did you guess 9? A solid possibility because we can definitively say that the head and butt I identified above are conclusively the same puppy. Therefore 9 may also be the correct answer.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say there are 8 puppies in the picture above. What do you think? Do you see more or less than 8 puppies in the picture? Have you ever heard of a Sprollie?

Puppy Or Guinea Pig?

December 16, 2008 By Colby 2 Comments

Yep, I’m receiving adorable puppy pictures through my RSS feed on a daily basis and sometimes I find images I enjoy so much I just have to share with my readers. While browsing my feed I scrolled past this picture and at first glance thought why is there a guinea pig on a puppy website?

Take a look at the picture:

Puppy Or Guinea Pig?

What do you think? Is this a puppy or a guinea pig? Well of course since this is a site about puppies this is a puppy and a cute little Chow Chow at that. Here’s the details on the Flickr stream:

4th Puppy Born – Boy, originally uploaded by Xianyang Chow Chows – there’s more adorable Chow Chow Pictures here if if you want to check them out.

I had a guinea pig when I was in the first grade (I named him Harry) and for some reason this little Chow Chow reminded me of Harry. So, in my pursuit for knowledge I decided to compare this little puppy to an image of a Guinea pig just to see if this puppy really does look like a guinea pig. Check out this image:

Sorry this was one of the best images I could find of a black guinea pig. This one is also from Flickr: Guinea Pig, originally uploaded by stkali2.

I’m not so sure now, but there’s definitely some resemblance (besides them both being black).

What do you think? Does this little Chow Chow look like a Guinea Pig?

How To Enjoy Your Puppy Toy – The Air Kong

December 8, 2008 By Colby 1 Comment

Christmas is just around the corner and maybe it’s time to go buy your best friend a new puppy toy. Unfortunately, I’m not going to go into great detail on puppy toys this time (we’ll save that for another post), but I did come across this great picture of a puppy playing with (apparently) his favorite toy.

My Favorite Puppy Toy – The Air Kong

Toy Joy, originally uploaded by klocean

My guys have that toy, it’s the Air Kong and in case you were wondering here it is:

Air Kong Squeaker Donut Dog Toy, Large

It’s very durable, although Stetson was good (or bad) enough to tear one to shreds. As long as I keep an eye on him and let him just play with the Air Kong and not sit down and start chewing the toy lasts a while and is good for the dogs to have a little game of tug of war.

Does your dog have an Air Kong? What is your dogs favorite toy? Please let us know in the comments area.

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part X

November 29, 2008 By Colby 6 Comments

We finally made it! Number 10, the final edition, the last puppy in the Cutest Puppy Ever series. I hope you guys didn’t get tired of all these puppy pictures. I know I can never tire of pictures of puppies. Anyhow, this is the tenth and final puppy I’ve raised.

Here’s the recap of all the articles in the Cutest Puppy Ever series:

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part I – Linus the Australian Shepherd Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part II – Buttercup the German Shepherd Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part III – Blondie the Labrador Retriever Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part IV – Sally the German Shepherd Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part V – Derby the Yellow Labrador Retriever
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part VI – George the German Shepherd Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part VII – Brisby the German Shepherd Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part VIII – Boots the Labrador German Shepherd Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part IX – Cocoa the German Shepherd Mix
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part X – Stetson the Black Labrador Retriever

The final puppy in the series is Stetson, my first Guide Dog puppy in training. The inspiration of this blog.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Stetson

Stetson is an absolutely awesome dog and he was an adorable puppy. Thank goodness he was so cute because he was by far the most difficult puppy to crate train. For those of you interested in crate training your puppy let me tell you…some puppies are easy and take to the crate right away i.e. Derby. While other puppies can take up to months to adjust to the crate i.e. Stetson. A quick not about Stetson: he was adorable, but during his first month he would not sleep more than 2 hours in a row and he would take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes of whining, crying, and howling before he’d fall asleep.

Stetson is a purebred black Labrador Retriever. He has a big block head and is not the most athletic dog. His legs are short and he’s on the stocky side (I think he’s adorable, but then again I may be biased).

Now for the good part…take a look at these adorable pictures of my little puppy in training. Nowadays Stetson is almost 2 years old and rarely ever barks. I’m not even sure what his bark sounds like.

Take a look at these adorable pictures.

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part IX

November 29, 2008 By Colby 7 Comments

Sorry guys running a little late with this edition of the Cutest Puppy Ever. No worries, I’ll get together an article for our ninth and tenth puppies before the end of tonight.

Our ninth puppy is my favorite from puppy out of the seven German Shepherd mix. I told myself if Cocoa was the last puppy to be taken out of the litter I would keep her myself. That probably would have altered my entire puppy raising life. I probably would not have raised Stetson or Derby and I would have probably never had the chance to volunteer with Guide Dogs of America. However, Cocoa was adopted very early and I decided not to adopt any of the German Shepherd puppies.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Cocoa

Cocoa was an adorable black and tan German Shepherd mix puppy with a personality to match. Out of all the puppies I thought she was the most relaxed and even tempered. She had a lot more tan coloring around her ears then George, Sally, or Buttercup. The one thing I remember vividly about her was when she stole a large tomato from my sisters tomato garden. She had the little round orb in her mouth and ran around the yard while the other six puppies chased after her wanting her little treasure.

Here’s her photo gallery:

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part VIII

November 27, 2008 By Colby 6 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is having a great day, watching some football, eating lots of turkey, and of course checking out todays edition of the Cutest Puppy Ever!

Here’s our recap of the past seven cutest puppies ever:

Linus the Aussie Shepherd mix
Buttercup the German Shepherd mix
Blondie the Labrador Retriever Mix
Sally the German Shepherd Mix
Derby the Yellow Labrador Retriever
George the German Shepherd mix
Brisby the German Shepherd mix

Today’s puppy is Boots…can you guess why we named her boots. Well, she has adorable white boots on each of her feet. This puppy is a cross between a German Shepherd and a Labrador Retriever…we think.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Boots

Boots was an adorable puppy. She was the second biggest puppy in the litter, but she was still much smaller then George. There were three light colored puppies in the litter and Boots was a cute little blond puppy with a dark muzzle and as I mentioned white boots on her feet. She was also the wild girl of the bunch and would sometimes be very calm while other times she loved to prance around the yard with all her puppy energy. I’d love to see this little girl today to see if she still has that wild side to her.

Here are Boots adorable pictures:
