Yeah sorry no I’m busy. Yeah it’s gonna be all day (speculating about what future dog breeds I might get)

Halloween

Little Halloween photo shoot with my lovely dog Marlow. He’s been forever obsessed with trying to get into my study, so I think he found it pretty fun/interesting to finally be allowed in here to explore and touch things. He showed great restraint despite the amount of interesting smells and textures.

Find him on instagram @/marlow.gsp

there is actually a furry version of anime girl same face sydrome. it's usually when an artist draws everything as generic dog.

The pointer was the 1st one of these I drew so thats why he looks a little different

Oh to be a little bird dog learning to do big bird dog things with some friends (sniff for birds)

ough... the brown dogs

Rip Thomas Chabot, he's not dead, his dog is just going to be disgusting for the foreseeable future

Having had both, I don't think I would consider owning either breed again (for many reasons), but...

German Shorthaired Pointer or Border Collie?

god this ask made me exhausted just reading it.

if i could be specific and say i want a show-line border collie, i'll do that. otherwise... i guess border collie just because i like herding dogs in general and they're less likely to eat my cat. GSPs are really cool-looking dogs but i havent met one that wasn't some flavor of Batshit and while i'm not a huge fan of BCs, they at least seem to have slightly more self-preservation instincts.

West Siberian Laika are not bred to pull. Yes, I do pulling sports with my dogs. Yes, they enjoy it. That doesn’t mean this is a pulling breed. If I was able to hunt year-round I probably would not do any pulling sports and might not even pack, we do that as a way to stay in shape when hunting is not possible. I have had a lot of people ask me about getting a WSL specifically for pulling sports. Some of these people want to be competitive, too. They can never give me a straight answer on why a breed developed for pulling is not a better choice.There are a lot of them to choose from. Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Alaskan Husky, Samoyed, Yakutain Laika, etc. Those are just *some* of the spitzy picks, there’s even more variety if you include draft/cart work. And yes, you can find working versions of all those, as well as crosses. If your goal is to get a dog for pulling, especially if you want to be competitive, get a dog that’s bred for that. I have worked with actual sleddogs, the desire to pull is WILDLY different between those dogs and mine.

I’ve been super busy while I was here, so I haven’t had a chance to take many pics of my old collection, but I did wanna take a pic of my current fav, Sunny, with my old fav, Strudel!

She’s super well-loved at this point, with most of her stuffing from her middle pushed elsewhere and a lot of matted fur. Considering the state of most my other sigs, which are rather pristine, it’s really cool :)

been rereading Shades of Magic lately, which i first read in 2018 (!!). it's been really nice to revisit characters that made such a lasting impact on my brain, so i've been drawing dogs about it i guess!
