Help me remember the breed!!

[ibot]

Ok so i was trying to tell my aunty tonight on the phone about a dog that i saw and for the life of me i could not remember the breed. So i thought now would be a good time to put you all to the test.

i would say its a large breed maybe of the hound family.
size bigger than a retriever.
smaller than irish wolfhound.
quite broad.
reddy brown splodges on white.
fur wirey with a furry face beard short coat but scruffy.

what else do you need to know

stollen for those that help or a glass of baileys
thank you

Merry Xmas

[Dizzykizzy]

[ibot]

wow cute, dizzykizzy what is your breed? have you seen the sponone? they are very similar

 

[Dizzykizzy]

Hiya, yes my friend has a spinone.
Ours is a Korthals Griffon, closely related to both the spinone and the German wire haired pointer.
Ours is a bit diddly!

 

[willhegofirst]

Will post some pics when I can get photobucket to resend my pass word!!

 

[willhegofirst]

Hope this works. The girls on their hols last summer

Lovely dogs.

My dog who is a cross between an English & Welsh Foxhound keeps getting mistaken for a Spinone ,although he looks nothing like one really.

 

[ibot]

i just love them i think they look how sherlock and watson would look if they were dogs don't you think

yep love the photo of the girls on the beach.

is there anything i should know about the breed? are they ok with horses?

 

[willhegofirst]

They have great temps, but can be wilful, being a gun dog breed they will hunt and follow their noses, mine have killed rabbits. Great with horses, they do tend to drool, not a breed you can be house proud with. As you may have noticed they love water! They seem to be addictive, most owners seem to have more than one. Oh and they are great at stealing food, you can't leave anything out they will have it.
