It is requested that a photograph or photographs be included in this article to improve its quality, if possible. Preferred photos show the complete animal, head to tail. Additional photos should add information, such as a face-only shot or distinct coat color or texture variants. Please do not include restricted copyright or "fair use" images. |

[edit] More pictures
I've added a picture with both of mine in it. I'll try to get pictures of them this weekend each individually. The honey or lemon-pied is the product of fawn and brindle parents. He has siblings that are brindle with white and cream, as in the other picture in the article. The brindle (unrelated to the boy) has a white blaze on her chest and is brindle on her back and rear, which I'll try to include in an individual picture.
I believe that the brindles are fairly common and the breeder told me that the honey-pied is only a 4% change or something really rare. She sold him because he is too large or the breed standard (30 lbs now).
- Thanks for the photo! Yeah, something that shows the brindle coat better would certainly be nice. Elf | Talk 20:40, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I've added better pictures and I tried to show off the brindle girl's brindle and white chest. Whomever edited the page last time after I put up the image did a great job and I'll leave it to that person to make the page look nicer.
- Um, gee, thanks (about doing the cleanup, I mean). The breed tables have only one photo in them, so you can just see what i did with the other photos and imitate something like that in the future. I'm going to take out the old photo with both dogs since we're getting individual shots. The honey pied photo is very cute.
It would be cool to have one photo of a dog standing, taken from the side, compared to one lying down and one sitting. I kind of like your original standing photo of the pied, too, because s/he's standing and at an interesting angle but you can still see the tail end--and yet an ear is cut off one one foot is behind the brindle. Sigh. so here's your next mission, should you choose to accept it: can you do the same thing for your brindle without cutting off his/her face? :-) This message will self-destruct in 10 seconds. (Or not.) (Taking photos of dogs is *hard*--I know because I do it all the time. Very dark colored dogs are particularly hard to get good photos of. Good luck. I suggest taking them outside where you can get an angle that has nothing behind the dog but grass or shrubbery--if you can get them on a sunny day in bright (not very dark) even shade, you might have your best luck.)

[edit] The artisan community?
The article states Toy Bulldogs were popular amongst the artisan and gay communities in Britain. An 'artisan' is a manual worker. I just can't see manual workers breeding lapdogs and I am sure that artistic (i.e. artistswas actually intended. I will make the change: If I am wrong you may reference it and change it back. --Adam Brink 07:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
