I tried to find the old thread of spitz pictures, but I got tired of looking for it. So... here is a new one! I was hoping to see some fresh photos of all of your gorgeous dogs Plus, I happen to think my boy is pretty cute, so I shall share some pictures of him. Kody is a Finnish Lapphund, he turned one a few days after Christmas. He has been a perfect fit in our family, his breeders did an excellent job at picking him for us! I don't post pics very often, so my memory is a little rusty. Hopefully this will work! Hubby calls this his pretty shot. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54463897@N04/8478539008/" title="149 by PPPP89, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8512/8478539008_e2af926f27.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="149"></a> We may have distracted him mid poo. But his fluffy bum is so cute! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54463897@N04/8477452297/" title="131 by PPPP89, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8375/8477452297_7a59a33f1c.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="131"></a> Getting a good look at the camera close up <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54463897@N04/8477450993/" title="137 by PPPP89, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8528/8477450993_6266814a47.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="137"></a> Anyone else want to share some pics of their fluffy buddy?

What breeder is he from? He looks like a Theldaroy.

VERY current photos lol...ie: yesterday. My sister and I were out back with the dogs, and she snapped some shots of my girl. I adore her so much...she is so sweet and extradordinarily well behaved, now she's stopped chewing the kids toys She's the perfect dog for kids. And for me.

Yes, he's a Theldaroy dog He is from the Angel/Jukki litter. He is the most gentle, quietly affectionate dog I have ever met. He and my 2.5yo DS are best mates. Snik is gorgeous, I love her markings

Ah yes, he is snik's half brother. Jukki is snikky's dad. He is so so gorgeous! I think Snik is gorgeous too I can't believe it took me nearly 40 years to find a breed I was in love with But I'm a lappie devotee now.

Oh he's cute ceeshell! Although now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a lappie that isn't cute.

This is my girl Mishka just after I spent an hour with her and her Furminator... She isn't from a breeder - we had planned on buying a husky from a breeder but then we heard about Mish and her brother...a friend of a friend had some dogs and they decided they couldn't be bothered getting either of them desexed, so it came as no surprise when puppies came along. One of the pups died, so there was only Mish and her brother left and the vet convinced them to have one of the parents desexed after the pups were born, but we were worried that the idiots that would wind up keeping the pups and use them to breed. There was no way I could let that happen, so DH and I asked if we could adopt Mish and we know that someone else adopted her brother. We always thought she was a husky as they idiots told us that both the parents were huskies, but we are fairly sure given the size / shape / coat of the dad that maybe the dad was a malamute / mal X and mum was a husky (mum was definitley a husky, and Mish has the blue husky eyes, so there is defintley some in there, but she has the shape and tail of a malamute). Regardless of what breed she is though, she is a beautiful girl and we love her to bits... however, I am so over vacuming EVERY SINGLE DAY when she throws her coat!
