Dog Breed Directory
Dogs reflect our behaviour. Which dog do you like, think about, see often, feel a closeness to, have a kinship with? See if it is in our directory. If not, feel free to 'make a request'.I am currently updating all of the reflections. Those that have been updated will have the 'update' in (brackets) below the introduction.

Rhodesian Ridgeback (African Lion Hound)
It’s a lovely day to day, so whatever you’ve got to do, I’d be so happy to be doing it with you. (Well, well, well; what a story has the Rhodesian Ridgeback to tell. Happy to: The Rhodesian Ridgeback is full of so much joy it should be against the law! Yes it should. Why? I’ll tell you. Once upon a time there was a young puppy. This young puppy did not know much love. No, he didn’t. Then, one day, he ‘grew up’. This he did. He ‘grew up’. This was ever so good for the little Rhodesian Ridgeback because then he could start to make his own way in life. Yes, that’s right. The little Rhodesian Ridgeback could then start to make his own decisions and such like. And why was this such an enormous event for the little Rhodesian Ridgeback.? I’ll tell you why. It was important for the little Rhodesian Ridgeback because until this time he was caught up in the ‘less than desirable’ decisions of those around him. This he was. You want more? Yes? Well, I’ll tell you more. Yesterday was not a ‘clear day’ for the little Rhodesian Ridgeback. He had to accept the misgivings of those who surrounded him. This he did. Did he bear his ‘lot’ with good grace? Yes and no. Yes because ‘what else was he to do'? And no, because deep inside him he ‘knew’ that one day he could escape the terrible decisions and make his own way in the world. And what became of the little Rhodesian Ridgeback? Well, today the little Rhodesian Ridgeback is a mighty character; full of warmth, pride, joyousness, laughter, rebellion. Rebellion? Yes rebellion. Wouldn’t you be full of rebellion if you had spent an entire lifetime tied to the strings of danger? Danger? Yes danger. What was so dangerous? The danger lay in living life in a lifeless (less than happy) manner. This is danger at its worst. To forgo happiness is a criminal offence to the soul. That it is. And today? What has become of the danger? It has gone, mostly. Yes the danger has faded and in its place lies a freedom only known to those of us who have been shackled by the whims and ideas of others. Well, my friends; I’m sure glad that the little Rhodesian Ridgeback ‘grew up’. It would seem that many Rhodesian Ridgeback personalities have not experienced a loving youth. And yet, to learn that fun, joy, warmth and togetherness do exist must be a mighty energy to know.)
Saint Bernard (Alpine Mastiff)
And I’ll do it well. Get it? I’ll do it well……. Don’t wake me til it’s time. What a drag…………………………………………………………..
 I’m not often noticed, and when I am people seem to be making a judgement.
What! You had to wait that long! My, my, how dreadful for you.
I don’t like being noticed. I’d rather not be seen. So painfully shy it makes it awfully hard to speak. Thank you.
I have a way of doing things which may not suit you, but it suits me. Thank you very much.
If you have something to say, I’ll listen. It might not be what I would say. No. But if I allow you, then perhaps you may allow me.
I am down to earth. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. It’s the only way! Truth is truth is truth is truth. If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. For your own good, I say this to you.
That’s life; constant change!
Over the moon and far away, over the moon and far away. Over the moon and far away, over the moon and far away.
(Well, well, well, dear friend; so you want to know the reflection of the Shar Pei; most commendable indeed. You see; we are an amiable type; we lovers of the Shar Pei. We do not want any trouble; no sir-ee..! We want only to go about our business and be left alone. Yes sir-ee… ! There’s really not much to say. We enjoy life; we enjoy the smaller things of life; like going for walks; eating good food, yum; staying healthy; taking care of those we love. Yes; there’s not much to us, you know. We enjoy moonlight walks; sunlit shores; majestic mountains. Oh yes, there’s really not that much to us, you see. We have the need to be kind; do the right thing; remain upright in our thinking; be solid in our devotions. No, there’s really not that much to us, you see. We love to allow you to give your love; we love to be there to receive; we love to see you sharing your love. No, there’s not much to us, you see. No, there’s not much to us, you see…..)
(The personality of the Shih Tzu is one that needs to be loved. Generally, though not always, those of us who are attracted to the Shih Tzu have spent many a lonely hour by ourselves wondering why it is that love has forsaken us. We may be in 'good' relationships and yet we can feel alone and unloved. This is just an energy; one which is to be experienced (as all energies are there to be experienced). However, this energy (that of feeling alone and unloved) can rob us of so many other experiences. To explain: It is very difficult to 'relate' to others who seem to be 'in the world'. It can be difficult to 'find oneself'; 'know where one fits' when this energy of aloneness and feeling unloved is present. There can be a sense of 'separation' from others; even though they may be as near as the next room or even within the same room. his is the energy of the Shih Tzu. We, for whatever reason, will almost in every case, feel this energy within our lives when we are attracted to the very cute; the very sweet; the very loyal Shih Tzu.) (see Husky)A little bit sleepy of late. I do need my sleep. I’m just a wee puppy; not as robust as I could be.
Not for me to say. It’s up to each one to choose. It’s not for me to say. Each must find his way.
Springer Spaniel Hello Everyone…………….Come on……………….Let’s go…………………………..!
Staffordshire Bull Terrier (see also Bull Terrier)
Highly strung! Perhaps I am. Keen, alert and true. Much has man given for guys like me to do. I’m just your average wanderer. I have a sense of pride. I like to be alone, at times, with no one by my side. I’m just an average puppy dog letting life go by. Not much is happening, because I’m not that type of guy.
I’m different, I’ll have you know. I’m different from the rest. I don’t like sameness everywhere. It’s diversity I like best. ‘I’m different’.
Swiss Laufhund (Berner Laufhund) A touch of melancholy now and then. Yes, it comes my way. I don’t know why; it’s just there day by day. It seems an inner part of me; I just don’t know why. I do long for the day when at last I’ll fly and when it comes (for come it will) I’ll be of such good cheer. So til then friends, I’ll sit and wait; for sad to turn to cheer.
Swiss Laufhund (Jura Laufhund) I’m a little bit country. I see things quite clearly, for I am quiet, and like to observe.
Swiss Laufhund (Schweizer Laufhund)
Tibetan Spaniel
Tibetan Terrier (Lhasa Terrier)
Guess I’ll…………………………..Well……………………………Hmmmmmmmmmmm………………… I could……..But then……………………I might…………Hmm…………………………… Blank...
Vizsla (Hungarian Pointer)
Softly spoken are we. Many troubles pass us by. We don’t wish to see. Frantic at times. Not able to rest. On the move. On the go. No time to rest. (We are complicated; we Vizsla types; gentle folk too. Not to be disturbed, comes to mind as does gallantry and champion. We may be softly spoken however our words run deep. They need to because they ‘are’ deep; those thoughts of ours. At times we’d rather ‘look away’. Yes. At times we’d rather look away from the ‘horribleness’ of what surrounds. We go within; yes, most of us Vizsla types prefer our own world. Yes; our own world is more to our liking. Why? I’ll tell you why. Life on this planet can be a little harsh, at times. This it surely can. We ‘know’ this; we surely do. Knowing this and appreciating the finer things in life; what would you choose? Would you choose harshness; or would you choose the finer things? Finer things like fun; poetry, musings of the mind; gentleness; laughter; songs; traffic; just kidding! Isn’t life easier when we just allow all of that harshness to go on its merry way; leave us alone; do what it is going to do; without me? Yes; life can be harsh and therefore I don’t get in its way. Sometimes though (when I don’t see it coming) life hands me another set of woes. What are they? Well, they come in the form of rushing. Yes, my woes can be things like rushing about doing this and doing that and not having enough time to do it all. I can’t seem to keep still. I can’t; even when I’m still. Yes, I’m rushing about even when I‘m still. Can’t rest; can’t wait; can’t ‘get it’. Get what? Can’t get that elusive thing called peace. I know it’s there; I know it’s there; I know it’s there, but where? Yes my friends, these are some of the energies associated with the versatile, gentle, loveable Vizsla energies. It is not that the Vizsla wishes to hide its head in the sand. No, this would not do. It is more a case of the Vizsla types ‘see’ far better than most. The rushing; the seeming ‘head in sand’ stance is merely a protective measure used to enhance life as best he can. Nothing wrong with that!)
So much for rotten meat! Don’t mess with me. I’ll have you know I’m strong. Don’t do anything to upset me, for I just might prove it.
Welsh Corgi (Corgi) (Cardigan)
It’s not that I don’t like fun and games. These things are good when in their place. It’s just that many seem to go out of their way to be frivolous, humble and gay. (Westie)
Ahhhhhhh., life’s grand!
Welsh Springer Spaniel (Welsh Spaniel)
Anything - I’ll do just about anything if you please. I’ll go anywhere, almost anywhere just for you. I’ll cry, I’ll laugh. I’ll do just as you like. I’m yours. All yours to have and to hold.
Then came the words: Unchanged for many a year. At times it is so drear.
May we introduce you to good wholesome living! Indeed t'is true; we love life, love, fun and friendship. Don't you?
………and on………………….and on………………..and on. (Owwww go on; ya said ya would…. Always makin’ promises, yeah. Always makin’ promises that they never keep. Ah well, that’s life; I guess. Ya never know what’s around the next corner. Na, that’s for sure. Ya never know and it doesn’t matter if ya did, ‘cause there ain’t nothin’ ya can do about it. No sir-ee; there’s nothin’ ya can do about it. Not that I’m a pessimist; no, that’s not my style. I’m not a pessimist; but I am a realist. Yep; that’s what I am; a realist with a yearning for truth. Yep, that’s me. I like the truth, you know. Yep; I like people to be honest with me. Doesn’t matter if it hurts. Sometimes the truth does hurt. Ouch, ya can say that again…… Yep, it hurts but….. I’d much rather ya tell me the truth than tell me some cock and bull story that’s full o’ holes… Yes sir-ee. Full of holes some stories…..! Well how refreshing is the Whippet personality…..! It has surprised me because somehow I though it was going to be a gentle energy with a rather diplomatic edge to it and yet; in reality it is a very down to earth quality with an insistence upon truth as it’s guide.)
Wire Haired Pointing Griffon (Korthals Griffon)
Wolfhound Over the hills and far away. That’s where I’ll be going one day. Xoloitzcuintle (see Mexican Hairless)
Oh how I would love to be strong; to see life through a strong heart; to be merry and gay and dally all day, singing and happy in song.

I’m adroit, I’m sweet, I’m clever too. And unlike most, I’m modest too.
Life should be easy, but it ain’t.
