Description
Second batch of dogbreed icons up, whee yay. this time it's the ever-beloved Herding Group. ^^I put in breednames this time because people kept guessing and asking if they were right on the last one. These aren't random breed sheets and all the breeds are very easy to find by going to the AKC website and clicking on the group du jour (or for that matter by clicking the link that takes you to the icons xD). and I know I said only AKC-registered breeds, but I couldn't not put in the Laekenois. The Belgian Shepherds are like.. an inseparable quartet. or something. o.o;

Guess i'm one of those people although it makes me one less person to worry about asking for a certain breed

My favorite is the Puli. They look like funny mops when they run lol! I love all the dogs in this group except for collies. They are ok. They are pretty mean and like to snap. At least all the ones I have met. They are NOT like Lassie!

I know, I don't think there are any bad breeds. But I still think collies tend to snap more than other breeds. They were bred to herd livestock and they snap at livestock to get them going. They snap at people too if they get angry. It is just in their nature. I'm not fond of them...nor pitbulls. :/ I would never trust a pit bull alone with another dog or little kid. They are bred to be dog aggressive. No matter how much training they get they can still attack with out warning. Same with Afghan hounds and rabbits. I would never trust one alone with my rabbit. You never know what is going to happen with animals!

"there are no bad breeds, just bad owners." pitbull or otherwise, it applies. my neighbour had a collie once, and he was a big old sweetie.

X3 I forget if I've commented here or not, so I'll just do it and if I have, you get two out of me.
I'm totally using that Pem icon. I wish I could show Callie, but she's got this little white freckle in the middle of her nose... *laughs* I'm pretty sure she wouldn't do well. And besides, showing's a lot of work. I'd rather laze about in the outdoors and pack somewhere!
I think the Herding group's my favorite out of them all. Next would be the the Non-Sporting group. You did so well with these!
And if you ever need corgi references, drop a line! I'll send some over for you.

I'm so glad you like them! I really have been a lazy butt with the icons though, I still have the Working Group to do next. I deliberately left the Hounds last so I'd have the motivation to finish xD though the Non-Sporting will be fun because there's such a mixed bag. (even if I am still not entirely sure why that group exists at all. eh.)
also thank you for the ref offer! you're too sweet. :3

swift-whippet In reply to gudruna [2007-07-23 01:46:36 +0000 UTC]
but it is not in the AKC registered breeds. therefore I did not draw it. there are very many dogs that are herding breeds but unregistered and therefore not drawn here.
I will eventually be taking dogbreedicon requests though. you can ask for it then if you really want it.

So sue me. I am only drawing registered AKC breeds, but once I am done with them I WILL DO REQUESTS. honestly. I apologise, but I am sick of people complaining about how I didn't draw their favourite breed.
Glad you like the rest though.

You're not causing me trouble, no fear. I just find it a bit wearying that people will keep bringing up what dog breeds I DIDN'T draw when I've drawn so many as it is. and the herding group isn't even 'my' group.

Aw, yay! Malinois are such an awesome breed thank you very much for the compliment! except this is the AKC Herding Group, which are the livestock dogs. the hunting dogs are the Hound and Sporting Groups.

Man, this seriously makes me want to practice on my dog breeds.
Personally, I make them look to alike.
I really love how you did the Pembroke Corgi and The bearded Collie.
They ALL look amazing.
Great job on all of these.

well if you know what problems you have with your art, then you can go and fix them, no?
I'm glad I inspired you to practice the breed differentiation - the sheer variety of breeds is what makes them so much fun to draw for me
thank you.

=_=; The Saluki is not a Herding Dog. It is a Hound. This is the Herding Group, therefore I did not draw a Saluki.
