Ah! I suppose I'll spotlight some others, though not from today.
Basenjis! We actually have quite a few Basenji in camp because there's a Basenji breeder not too far away from us and quite a few local Basenji. The Basenji we see in camp seem to come in two flavors. One "flavor" are the Basenji from Eldorado (the nearby breeder) and then the rest of the Basenji population. Be it by breeding or by nurture, the Eldorado dogs seem to have a temperament more suited for camp and large groups of dogs whereas the other Basenji seem to be a little more standoffish and more about the people-attention.
@curlytails - they really are their own type! It's kind of incredible. They have an excellent temperament - I mean, I like the Basenji temperament anyway, but the Eldorado Basenjis seem to be more... "bombproof" and social with the other dogs, less reactive and have this fun-loving, almost "mushy" personality when it comes to the things they like.
They DO seem to be a little wary when they aren't comfortable, though. I don't know if that's a trait of all Basenji, but the "other" Basenji just seem to want to find someone to cling to so they DO feel comfortable.
@poeticdragon - I think it's a bit of both! Piggy has a larger head (and huuuuge ears) than Dioge - I'm not sure if that has to do with the "line"/breeder or if it has to do with sexual dimorphism...
Thanks for the Basenji flood. I really want a brindle someday... Apparently they're more popular on the East coast. But who knows where I'll be when I'm finally in a position to add another dog!
Next time I get more pictures, I'll put up all the Japanese breeds we see in Camp. But I'll leave you with Duke... who I've been told is an Akita x Lab.

I have heard great things about Eldorado B's. I'm amused that you separate them into the Eldorado B's and... everyone else. Haha.

Piggy's ridiculously large ears.
Annie, his "sister" (out of the same household), from the same breeder.
More Pig, since he's a star.
Another of Dioge and her "brother", Ra. Ra is also from Eldorado.
Macey, a rescue.
that's all the Basenji flood I have!
That Boerboel is super fat tho
Now Shikoku time! Mura's the reason I came to the forum in the first place! I've probably shared most of her boarding pictures before...
And Nala! The AA! Nala is a sweetie.
Shiba Inu, Griffin! Griff is actually great friends with Piggy, the Basenji.
Nala is a neat looking akita too.
Really cool to see the different dogs!
