Whoops, sorry...I've spent so many years associating with some seriously obsessive dog people online that I lapse into fancy jargon without thinking about it. ACD = Australian Cattle Dog, aka Blue/Red/Queensland Heelers -- did I guess the breed right? :) Those two are utterly lovely, whatever they are -- I love those alert little freckled faces!

(And feel free to smack me if I totally screwed up on the breed ID! I am best at eyeballing the Northern and Asian spitz breeds that are my first love, rather weaker on the herding and sporting breeds, and downright bad when it comes to some of the smaller dogs -- I swear there are a couple squillion small-brown-terrier types that all look pretty much alike to me. *grin*)
