That is too funny! |
What is the dog breed? |
How darn cute is that? |
susan, asked my youngest to investigate, but alas links for more info don't work. thought she could hack her way to find out. it's a nice mix whatever breed she is. |
Looks like a brown Wire Haired Pointing Griffon or a Wire Haired German Pointer. My mum's neighbour has a Griffon and everybody always thinks that's what Ru is but we are pretty sure he's a labX. The brown ones look exactly like that, with brown noses (which is the standard). They are great dogs! Also rare like the OES (although I believe they are higher up on the AKC list of dog breeds in terms of popularity). Love the video! |
sweet! |
Susan - it looks like a Drahthaar - or more often known as a German Wirehaired Pointer or Griffon. http://www.vdd-gna.org/photos/?album=1&gallery=2 They are from Germany, and one of the versatile European hunting breeds - Like the Shorthair Pointer, Viszla, etc. They all hunt fur and feather both. Growing up with hunting breeds and field trialing/hunt tests and hunting trips does have it's perks, I guess. More data stored away, taking up valuable space.... |
Quote: brown Wire Haired Pointing Griffon or a Wire Haired German Pointer That's where my mind was going, especially with the big brown nose. Human over voice, "Just another bird" made me think, "Ah ha, bird dog" which lead to the above. Just a sucker for a shaggy face............susan |

I think it is an Spinone Italiano which is a rare breed. I have seen two of these in the states and they do look a lot like a griffon. here is the link from the club. http://www.spinoneclubofamerica.com/ |

We need the owl-dog to get up and move around so we can get a good look at him and see movement. The Spinone's have a movement more like the hounds do - dead give-away! |
