I didn't mean for this to be a list thread, but anyway...

http://www.icelandicsheepdogregistry.com/puppies.htm

The bottom two pictures were originally linked to some very nice puppy 
pictures on our site, but now go to one ugly dog and one mangy dog.

FWIW, you'd be surprised how hard it is to actually find pictures of ugly 
dogs.  I figured it'd be easy, but this was the best I can do.

I think I replaced the pictures in spring.  They still haven't figured out 
the pictures were changed.  Note all the heavy-handed copyright warnings at 
the bottom of the page.

Since supposedly they have their own puppies for sale, not sure why they 
felt compelled to lift our pictures.  Nevertheless...

Anyway, back to MGs...
