Of dogs and people

Mom is sick and asleep on a lazy saturday afternoon, Dakota is sitting close by and I am reveling in the simple, wonderful Saturday. I decided to blog part two of dogs and people. Here they are.

Since Oprah is leaving her show, I thought it only fitting to start things off with her. I feel she is irrevocably an English Toy Spaniel
The English Toy Spaniel is a compact, cobby and essentially square toy dog possessed of a short-nosed, domed head, a merry and affectionate demeanor and a silky, flowing coat. His compact, sturdy body and charming temperament, together with his rounded head, lustrous dark eye, and well cushioned face, proclaim him a dog of distinction and character.

And Dr. Oz... The thickness of fat pads under his eyes, prominent nose, and general dopey expression make him an English Cocker Spaniel. (Not to be confused with the American Cocker).
The English Cocker is merry and affectionate, of equable disposition, neither sluggish nor hyperactive, a willing worker and a faithful and engaging companion.

Dr. Phil is a Welsh terrier.
The Welsh Terrier is a game dog-alert, aware, spirited-but at the same time, is friendly and shows self control. Intelligence and desire to please are evident in his attitude. A specimen exhibiting an overly aggressive attitude, or shyness, should be penalized.

Now, while not all Boston Terriers have a hitler moustache, I thought this particular boston resemled Phil.

Donald, Donald, Donald... I'd vote for you.
The Mastiff is a large, massive, symmetrical dog with a well-knit frame. The impression is one of grandeur and dignity. Dogs are more massive throughout. A combination of grandeur and good nature, courage and docility. Judges should not condone shyness or viciousness. Conversely, judges should also beware of putting a premium on showiness.


Its not the best match, but I couldn't resist posting this picture!!! Mainly for the expression of the eyes and face wrinkles. (Did you know that pugs were bred to have the Chinese character for price on their foreheads?) Its true.

Dianne Sawyer. What could she be but a Golden Retriever?
A symmetrical, active dog, sound and well put together, displaying a kindly expression and possessing a personality that is eager, alert and self-confident.
