Postby tinydoodles » Sat Jul 16, 2011 12:43 pm

ALPHABREEDS

Alphabreeds is a series of 26 pictures of rare or unusual dog breeds, one for every letter of the alphabet. It is meant to give these rare or unusual breeds a place in the spotlight for once, and to help satisfy my undying love for bizarre dogs.

I'm still looking for ideas for a rare or unusual dogs with the first letter of the name being "B" ^^
Okay, I've settled on a Black and Tan Coonhound. Starting work on the picture now ^^

I love it! That's a really good idea. I'm a big lover of all canines, and I find it sad that no one knows about the rare breeds like the Norwegian Lundehund (which, by the way, looks unusually similar to that fennec fox in your signature...) and your Ardennes Cattle Dog. I will be bookmarking this.
Signature under construction. I might get around to it within a century.

Currently on a quest for a decent username.

NOTE: Currently in the process of quitting CS. I have a ton of pets, so message me if you want any. I do have to note that pretty much all of the valuable ones are gone by now, but still.

Thanks C: I'm glad you get where I'm coming from :3 I've only seen pictures of the Norwegian Lundehund, an I think I'll do them for "N". Thanks for your support of the project ^^
