This is a regular laying position. Seems cramped to me but what do I know.
That looks like a bernese?
He’s a large Mini American Shepherd. By large we are only talking 38 lb. But he does have that classic Bernese coloring.
How tall is he?
I used to own an Australian Shepherd that was a great dog and have been considering if a mini might be a better fit for my next dog.
I am not quite sure how measure. I would say around 20" at the withers, but he is much bigger than any of the other dogs from his litter.
I have had full sized Aussies before as well. Imagine taking that energy and compressing it to a singularity that is always ready to explode. That is Rufus and I wouldn’t trade him for the world.
Aww reminds me of my pup, sometimes I look at her and wonder what even is a spine lol.
