I think 10 is a Basenji but although O recognise some of the others I don't know the name of the breed!

 

[soloabe]

5 is a Briard
and 3 is a Berger picard.

Don't know the names of the others though.

 

[FestiveSpirit]

3 is a Belgian Shepherd dog Lakenois, 4 is a Grand Bleu de Gascogne, 5 is a Briard, 6 I recognise but cant remember what it is, 7 looks like a Hamiltonstovaire, 9 looks like a German Wirehaired Pointer (cant tell what size it is) and 10 is an Ibizan Hound?

Or then again, perhaps not

 

[RubysGold]

The ones that are correct so far are:
3) Berger Picard
4) Bleu de gascogne
5) Briard

 

[kirstyhen]

5) Briard

8) Glen of Imaal Terrier

 

[RubysGold]

8 is indeed a glen of imaal terrier

 

[RLD]

9) is a Lagotto Romagnolo but the dog in the picture has been brushed so the coat has gone fuzzy. Really they should be left so the coat has its natural curl. (Can you tell I own one!)

Is 2) a Havenese?
10)Pharoh Hound

 

[RubysGold]

yeh 9 is a Lagotto Romagnolo, I'd never heard of one so I assumed that was how they are supposed to look. Stunning looking dog

You guys are better at this then I expected!

 

[RLD]

I think thats how Americans/Australians like Lagotto to look. It is very frowned upon in Italy (their country of origin) and over here and Europe. I don't know who made the rules though!

 

[kirstyhen]

1) Bavarian Mountain Hound
2) Coton De Tulear
3) Bergerpicard
4) Bleude Gascogne
5) Briard
6) Dogo Argentino
7) Endelbucher
8) Glen of Imaal Terrier

How very dare you!

I knew them all straight away but thought I'd let others have a go, then went to watch telly, came back and no one had got them so I thought I would

(I definately didn't use google anyway!

)

 

[Puppy]

Ooh, this thread and the pics so very much reminds me of my "book of breeds" that I used to read religiously when I was younger (shame I can't remember them so well though!

)

 

[MurphysMinder]

10 looks too big to be a podengo, I sw them at crufts (was quite taken with them) and they were a lot shorter in the leg. Know some of the others but will bow to your superior knowledge (or google

) with the rest.

Okay have just looked for pictures and it would appear they come in different sizes

, it is these little ones I fell for.

[RubysGold]

Wow! Hen, how did you know all of them, there are so many breeds that look so similar, its hard to get them right, but you got them all!

 

[kirstyhen]

I'm just clever like that

 

[freckles22uk]

I only knew 2 of them.. lOL.... the podenco looks a lot different to a spanish one..they are a lot taller...

Ok I got one for you.... Whats this???

 

[RubysGold]

Which 2 did you know?
I don't have a clue what that dog is, not very good at rare dogs.
I bet Henmeister will know, she knew all of mine!

 

[freckles22uk]

I knew 5 and 6..

 

[Three]

Is it an Anatolian Shepherd?

 

[freckles22uk]

Nope.......

Looks like some sort of mastiff crossed with a st bernard

Lovely looking dog though whatever it is

 

[freckles22uk]

Very close... shes a ''Mastin Espanol'' or Spanish Mastiff.... and they do have St Bernard in them somewhere..... breed to protect the sheep from the wolves, great guard dog and loyal member of the family, the one above is my dog 'Penny'
