Agility, Art, and Aeverything else

I'm Ell, a 28 year old animal welfare and conservation masters graduate from the UK. I post about dogs and art, with some vet, pet and 'other' mixed in

Ok, so out of the shortlist I want the red setter or Chesapeake bay

I don’t like weimeraners, but this is the worst looking one I’ve seen. Is it ill?!

“It is thought that the Irish Water Spaniel has Poodle in it’s background”.... You don’t say?!

Flat coats are just serotonin in dog form

I want to take this munsterlander home

I love the Chesapeake Bay laying down and having snacks in the background

Waggy tail!!! I love this long-haired pointer.

Sidenote: I am adding waggy tail to my drinking game

I didn’t like the Brittany until I found out his name is Kyle. That’s a Grade A dog name right there

M'am..... the am-cocker is not the 'raciest of our spaniel breeds'

[a-framed-dog]

It’s definitely the raciest of the north american spaniel breeds...

okay so i'm not an expert and there are a couple of different collies but:

australian shepherd:

medium-large

pretty fluffy

may or may not have a tail (may or may not be on purpose)

ears supposed to be nice and sophisticatedly folded

comes in blacks and reds and tris and merles

sh jusht a little chonky maybe

Australian but in the sense that it's American and has really nothing to do with Australia at all as far as anyone can tell

collie:

medium-large with a side of large

either smooth coat or stupidly fluffy, anything in between is illegal

long tail (should reach the hock)

ears meant to stand on top of the head maybe with a fashionable little forward tip

comes in brown (sable) and black tricolour + merle

legs legs what's on the menu legs legs

longest snout you've seen in a while

British

shetland sheepdog:

what i have (allegedly)

see: collie, but 1/4 of the size (unless something went wrong)

but calling it a mini collie is a federal crime

the fluffier the better. needs more fluff.

colors are sable and black tri- and bicolour as well as merle

very sweet but should have capacity for evil to keep things spicy

Shetlandish (Scottish) (British) (twice removed)

border collie:

insane<3

rectangular-esque

sneaky bastard

size: approximate. ears: yes. tail: yes. coat: usually. colours: sure

from the BORDER REGIONS OF SCOTLAND

you'll know

Compassion Fatigue

Anyone have any good resources regarding this and how to deal with it? Also burnout as well?
