Are you loving this weekly feature as much as I am? I love seeing the adorable photos of your pets and hearing about their crazy antics! Want to see your pet featured here? Fill out the survey located at the bottom of this post.

You might recognize this face, as this week’s featured pet is a regular here at Pattern & Paw. He’s one of our favorite models, and sure knows how to work the camera. Get to know the dog behind the good looks… the ever popular, world-famous, Dash!

(psst! Be sure to check out Dash’s mom and dad and their wonderful photography on their blog, kern-photo.com/blog!)

Name: Dashboard Kern, aka “Dash”
Nick-Names: Bonehead, gomer, meatface, baby dog, meatball, basically anything but dash!!
DOB: January 4, 2006
Location: Lakewood, Colorado
Favorite Food: cheddar cheese — can smell this stuff a mile away!!
Favorite Toy: his wabbit — a stuffed bunny that his mom and dad made for him at build-a-bear
Favorite Nap Spot: his mom and dad’s bed, the living room chair, or at the right time of day, right on top of a spot of sunshine on the carpet
I love… when my mommy and daddy come home, my wabbit and bear, cheese, belly scratches, runs with my dad, swimming!!, chewing on sticks, and meeting new people
I hate… having my photo taken–which is why I am howling in my photo, getting my ears cleaned and toenails clipped
Special Skills: enough self-control to not eat a yummy piece of food on my paw until he gets the “okay.” He won’t even move an inch if we say, “otay, or, oh darn, or oh boy!”
Super-Power(s): the power to cure anyone’s bad mood by rubbing his velvety ears on their face.
Pattern & Paw Collar of Choice: his striped forest big dog collar. he looks very handsome in it!
Anything else special about your pet? Quips, stories, etc.? Dash has been known to dabble a bit in modeling, especially for a high-end, boutique, dog collar company, which will remain nameless… and Dash is also named after Dash, the boy from the Disney Pixar movie “The Incredibles.” It is a very fitting name when you see him in an all out sprint chasing his ball.

P&P Stylist Says…
We love dash. Such a stunning dog deserves an equally stunning collar. We know he has a large collection, but if he had to have a new one, we think the Teal Mod Dots Big Dog Collar would look simply smashing against his copper coat. Or if he feels like showing off his rebel nature, the Blue Flames Big Dog Collar would bring out his wild side. For something a bit more sophisticated, the subdued Moss Green Striped Big Dog Collar would be a natural choice. Dashing indeed!
