All four are different, which makes life interesting!
Jamie vs Deacon (English Setters)
Jamie is vocal and stubborn and obstinate, a lap dog who is happiest with human company, happiest when sleeping in a bedroom than in the kitchen with the other dogs'. Can go offlead most of the time, as he has more recall than is breed standard! Can be affectionate, when he wants though!
Deacon, is playful, norty, cheery, hates seeing you cry he will 'cuddle' you if you do Loves playing with Codee and his football, has no recall at all, needs secure land to run, as he will go off anywhere and as he has no sense, its worrying! He is as happy with the other dogs' as us humans and is very laid back!

Honey the Irish, can be very clingy, but she will sleep alone surprisingly. She has recall and always wants to be by your side.

Codee the Pointer, affectionate, sensitive, norty and a digger. She lives to run and is always chasing squirrels, birds, butterflies when in the field, but she will come back when called. She hates sudden noises and men in black!

My two are different breeds and different groups so obvious differencies. Both however have German bred parants, have high hunt drives and both enjoy the sport of agility.
The munsterlander is pretty typical for her breed, stays fairly close when off lead with a range of about 70yrds, fairly easy to train, biddable and loves all people. Typically of the breed she will also run hot and cold as to if she wants to do something.
The Bavarian has more of a hunt drive and will range until she sees fit. Recall can be difficult. Untypically for a bavarian, fairly easy to train, but typically aloof with strangers and hard headed.

Hector (now passed) & Throp are littermates and were raised together at their racing kennel prior to being adopted by me and personality wise are chalk & cheese.

Throp gets anxious in new situations and a little shy with strangers, when we first got him he'd try to bolt if a stranger tried to speak to us and hector would be pulling to say hello. Hector was outgoing & pretty unphased by most things in life, had a bit of naughty streak, liked to talk and was a velcro hound that liked to be around his humans . Hector didn't tend to demand a fussing like Throp, but was affectionate. Hector would be up straight away when called & ready for a walk, Throp quite often can't be bothered to get out of bed he's so lazy & is stubborn, if he's had enough on a walk & wants to go back to bed or we aren't going where he wants to go he'll plant & put on his best abused dog impression. They got on amazingly well and quite often would be seen in synchronized sleeping positions

Can easy see the family resemblance but still different. Throp (left) & Hector (Right)

Bear is a "leap before you look" type character, full of energy, will play with anyone.

Ella is more gentle and aloof with strangers.

Locky is a more inependant and loves nothing more than being cuddled/petted by anyone and everyone he meets.
They all look different but share one thing in common,they are all gorgeous xx

Awww, thanks a lot.
Now, about the difference between a N.I. and an E.B.T. !

Totally chalk and cheese - literally could NOT get any different and in every way from their size to their personalities.

Marius - chilled out as a norm, extremely gentle by nature he is a gentle giant, often sits outside and birds hop around the garden while he watches. Only really gets excitable when he sees other dogs or people who he really loves, then he goes into gushing boy mode and gets zoomie attacks. You can take him for a walk and he would happily sleep for the rest of the day. He's a bit of a couch-potato.

Lola - a total loon and clown - Miss Personality Plus who I often say she should have a speech bubble coming out of her saying "Ta daaa" when she enters a room. Is like the Duracel bunny, loves to run, be constantly playing, total live life to the max kind of girl. No bird is safe in the garden, she chases them every time. Totally dominates Marius even though he towers over her, she hasn't an ounce of fear in her body and is ultra confident. Only seems to sleep when she has run out of petrol and then she is the total opposite, wants to be cuddled and cradled like a baby

Mine are BCs, 2 boys 1 girl, all resonably simular age wise, 2 years, 1 year, 7 months.

Flint, 2 years, is a very relaxed boy, acts like hes much much older and doesnt really get involved in games, unless its with a human playing ball.
Hes happy just laying on the sofa all day and not doing anything, but when the lead comes out all hell breaks loose lol

Simba, 1 year, manic! Hes calmed down alot recently, but he is VERY in ya face, loves cuddles and is an all round joker.
He initiates play with Gemma and wont stop til hes knackered. Hes a maniac when out walking with the others, but if hes on his own hes a brilliant lad.

Gemma, 7 months, shes a very delicate little girl, but stands up for herself at all times! She will give as good as she gets when Simba body slams her, even though she is half his size and weight!
Shes quite vocal and likes to let you know shes around.
Shes not keen on leaving the house, but once we are out she walks very well. She gets very car sick, which is not like the boys at all.
