They are all beautiful!
We love our English Springer Spaniels! They are “Field Spaniels” and are lovely goofs. They have endless energy outside, but are content to lie around inside. Friendly, friendly to everyone with a constantly wagging tail. The only thing I’ve been unhappy about is that they bark when they think there is something to bark at, and they bark when they’re not sure if there is something to bark at. Or they bark if there is nothing to bark at. And I think it has to do with having 3 of them, not their breed. The young one is the one we like to call “The Activator!”
Used to have labs and beagles, too, and a golden.
How can you say no to any dog? I really think it’s nearly impossible to choose.
Thanks for following me – I enjoy your dogs. My best friend is a toy poodle!
I have the best, most beautiful Golden Retriever ever!! He’ll always been on my top ten list!!
But I love almost all dogs except mean spirited ones.
Beautiful pictures. I love dogs – my forever best friend ^_^
We have a Tervuren Belgian Shepherd.

We got her because we had a great experience with a Groenendal Belgian Shepherd years ago.
She’s great, but never stops moving. We really need a bigger yard for her.
Wow! Rotties made the list. I have loved this breed for over 15 years now. Even after losing two to canine cancer, I still had to have another one. Summer is my fourth. Big cuddlebugs!
