Countryfile: what breed is Adam's dog?

She is indeed a wire (wire haired vizsla) Separate breed to the smooth (many think its one breed two coat types) although undeniabley similar and related they arent the same breed.
although you can get smooth wires.....you have to really know your stuff to identify which breed one of those is ;) Both smooths and wires occasionally throw longcoats as well.....they end up sort of looking like an irish setter x!

I dont want countryfile and cant see any pics online anywhere but know its defo a wire....as above, could well be a smooth wire, they do occur!
 
I actually thought I remembered her as a smooth. I too tried to find pics of her somewhere but couldn't and there certainly is reference to Wires on the countryfile links, so maybe she is a smooth wire (how confusing!).
 
it is confusing, yes, smooth wires are indecernable from 'true smooths' unless you can see them in the flesh, even then you could mix them up easily. I wouldnt fancy my chances that much on a line up of smooths and smooth wires!

ETS disappointed CT couldnt recognise as a vizz at all though....I clearly dont post enough pics! :p :D
 
Sorry to be a bit of a biotch, but I have watched it and she seems terribly soft/skittish in temperament? :o I don't know many vizzies but I take it that is not desirable?
 
erm, difficult to tell what you mean really, *must start watching countryfile* was she in any recent eps I could watch on iplayer? They should be bold but equally are soft and sensitive, certainly compared to other gundogs. Wires are actually meant to be more robust and level headed/less sensitive than smooths.
 
To me she seems to spend a lot of time ducking and diving and tucking in her tail, which is a pet hate of mine, but it is probably just me and my irritating breed-specific likes and dislikes and could be completely fine :o
 
I noticed that CC, when she was sent to be mated she certainly didn't seem to have what I would consider a good, calm temperament, but I was going on what I would want in a GSD so perhaps not being really fair on her.
 
I just watched the clip of her on this weeks shes defo a wire shes hooooge! But yes shes smooth! She seems normal vizz in that clip but all I have seen of her.
 
Thats a classic statement" she's definitely a wire .....But yes she's smooth!":D
She was in season on the programme I noticed the temperament, so in all fairness that could have been the reason.
 
Hahahaha! Yes a brilliantly confusing statement that!! :D
*cough cough* funny things hormonal vizzies :eek: Mind you floras not funny in season in the slightest....
 
to clarify, she is a wirehaired vizsla, she just doesnt have the wire coat.
ets of course shes pretty shes a vizsla :rolleyes: really CT :p :D
