I love the above picture of Storm and Freighter hunting in the forest together. They look like bookends.
But I have a confession to make. Sometimes I have a hard time telling which is which in some of the pictures that I take of them while they are training or hunting. From a distance or in dim light, they look alike. I am sure there have been times when I have captioned a picture with the wrong dog’s name.
Of course when Storm and Freighter are sitting next to each other, it is obvious which is which.
Am I the only one who has this problem?
In my Newfs I have one of each color to avoid that. I must admit if they were the same I would have difficulty at a distance 🙂
haha! They do look like book ends!

Love that photo and kind of relieved to know sometimes you can’t tell them apart. There are times I have to read your captions to be sure 🙂
Such a wonderful pair!
Quite the brace! Happy Chessies!
Great picture! It’s like they’re doing synchronized walking! 🙂
We don’t look alike, so it isn’t a problem, but with solid colored dogs from a distance it would be hard to tell.
Ok, now I don’t feel so bad about not being able to always tell them apart! 🙂
I would think it would be difficult. (I know I have trouble telling them apart when they are in the field.) 🙂 It makes me happy that my dogs are two different colors…although in the dark sometimes I cannot tell them apart. LOL
Basset Hounds look quite different from one another and Bentley has the number 7 on his side so he is easy. White West Highland Terriers all look alike so with Pierre it is sometimes difficult when we pick him up at the groomers and they are running around together. (Don’t tell him) BOL!
I would have the two different colored collars too so I could easily tell them apart at a distance. It would be hard when they’re running and playing and you can’t see their faces that well. One thing is for sure, both Storm and Freighter are stunningly handsome!
Hi Y’all!
My Human used to work with a field trial trainer who trained Labs. When dogs are built similarly and colored the same, the only way to tell them apart is the way they react and move. She says she could never tell them apart, even up close.
Y’all come on by,

When Callie and Shadow were much younger, they were about the same size – only about a quarter-inch difference in height and length – but I could tell them apart anyway.
BUT that didn’t stop me from calling Callie “Shadow” or calling Shadow “Callie”. And when we adopted Ducky it got worse. I just gave up trying to correct myself. Now with Callie in Heaven, I call Shadow “Callie” more often than I did when they were youngsters. Oh well. Maybe it’s inherited – my grandmother used to do the same thing when we were all together. Poor dear couldn’t tell her own twin sons apart from the day they were born, or so my Mom always told me. 🙂
Heck no, I’m sure glad to hear that you have that problem, since I often can’t tell your crew apart, or other dogs on other blogs that are the same breed/basic size/color! However, I did get it right with the Storm/Freighter photo when they were side by side! 🙂
If I’m sleepy and Scout or Zoey come up close to me, I sometimes mix them up. They look nothing alike, but they both have similar coats (they’re siblings) and so my sleepy eyes mix them up at times.
I used to do that with Norman and Nellie too.
