For real! I keep telling people Buddy is a Belgian Shepherd; he even has the amber coloring like your pup. This is my gallant fur ball:

(Sorry for the pics hehe).

I really don't care what breed he is, Buddy's the beat to my heart : ).

Oh, Buddy is cute!! You gotta love all that hair. If he's not a pure belgian, he's got to be a mix! He's a lot heftier than Shauni, but then Shauni's dad was a very thick boy.

Thanks : ). A lot of the times Buddy can look thick if I haven't brushed him, and he's just a chunk all around. I really do think he's either pure or mostly Belgian.

I love the fur - Mom doesn't! We might be taking him to a groomer soon.

Jayne, if you go, stay here - http://www.deltahotels.com/hotels/hotels.php?hotelId=30 It's alittle bit different than when I used to go as a kid (it was owned by Canadian Pacific Hotels back then), but it still looks basically the same. The great thing is that you can climb a 10,000 ft mountain, see moose and bears, go on a trail ride, go white water rafting, etc....and then go back to the hotel, sit in the hot-tub for a while, eat a gourmet meal, and sleep in a comfy bed. Definitely my idea of a perfect vacation!

Oh, and if you have a husband who loves golf, they have three courses there designed by some super-famous golf course designer...Palmer someone or Trent...or Jones....clearly, I don't know golf.
