Do you mean mine? He is actually a Belgian Tervuren :) Not to many people are familiar with that breed, but they are becoming more common.

Ah ok, I thought it was a German Shepherd with a darker coat, just goes to show how much I know about pedigree dogs.
 
Had to go with scorpa's regal-looking buddy.
 
Voted Larkspur, nice dog!
