Male border collie cross
 
An edited version with straighter perspective - which meant cropping

I took this photo of my dog, and I think it's a good example of a working dog.

  • Oppose. Is that working? Tell my boss! Jonas Olson 14:41, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Bad light and exposure, bad composition, bad background. Ericd 16:50, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose, can't see his eyes, and don't see why this is a working dog. Mgm|(talk) 18:31, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
    • He is working dog in that he is expected to earn his keep. We use him to protect our chicken coops from foxes and to kill snakes. Neither of these can really be illustrated in a photo unless I'm fortunate enough to see him as he kills a snake. I think it still illustrates a 'working dog' because this particular breed of dog is what all farmers around here (East Gippsland) use. --Fir0002 22:22, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose It's....just a snapshot of a dog...--Deglr6328 22:24, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose A picture of a working dog should actually show the dog working. Denni 23:58, 2005 Apr 20 (UTC)
  • Oppose Just not striking enough (but a nice pic) - Adrian Pingstone 15:22, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose Not striking, and you can't see the dog's eyes clearly. Circeus 16:19, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support (The top picture.) I find the colors and the angle pleasing and intriguing. "Working dog" refers to the type of dog, by the way. Are for being "just a picture of a dog", the current picture of the day is just a picture of a bird. And the Mona Lisa is just a painting of a lady. - Pioneer-12 18:40, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Crisp photo, interesting demeanor. --brian0918™ 04:22, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. While he is a working dog, you can't see that from the picture; surely we can find a good picture of a dog at work... --Andrew 10:36, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
