Beautiful as that dog is, I would have guessed setter cross! But Welsh or not, all show bred springers look like setter crosses to me.
What sort of dog is that

I know what you mean - I reckon it's the show trim. He looks very different now he's retired from showing to be a dog again!
I think the one that really got to Dad was "Is it a Beagle cross?"

He looks like a spaniel's older, titled relation.

If anyone asks me what the Sprollie is I tell them he's a Miniature Spanish Collie. Just for fun. He's a Cumbrian Farm Mutt really. As is the spaniel.

He looks like a real life toby dog - I don't know if anyone else has a name for those matching dogs that people have on the fireplace/shelf, but that's what my family calls them

What about flatcoats then? No one ever knows what they are. Either Lab x Spaniel or some sort of setter.
A friend with a black one ( not even liver) got asked if it was a red setter!! 🤪

Clearly I'm weird because I can correctly identify most breeds lol - the Leonberger owner was hugely impressed and spent a long time telling me about the breed while I was trying to make a bored fidgety TB stand still and not carry on our hack regardless
I still remember with great fondness though that this, according to the lovely group of Brownies I was walking past, is a dalmatian.....

tbh when I first met a large munsterlander I thought it was some sort of setter cross- mostly because it had no recall whatsoever

To be fair I don’t even know for sure if my own spaniel is Cocker Sprocker or Springer

Flatcoat owners are always impressed with me as I invariably recognise them! I also met some swissies recently, and impressed the owners with my recognition of those too. HHO is rather helpful sometimes 😂😂

Ringcraft classes are a minefield - I had lengthy conversations last night with two ladies and complimented them on their lovely dogs. I still don't have a bloody clue what either of them were.
One puppy was the same shape as an entlebucher mountain hound but with a longer coat, blueish rather than black and I think I overheard her say that another dog in the litter was merle.
The other looked very like a wire dachshund but her first show was to be National Terrier. Which ones are wiry, loooong and loooow?
Fair's fair though, I apparently have a lovely Finnish spitz!

I was once walking a male goat and got asked three times, by different people, what breed of dog was it.

Probably 95% of people think our Lancashire Heeler is a terrier. Including the judge at a Companion show who very kindly told me he shouldn't be in the Working and Pastoral class !

There's a lady in the next village who breeds large Munsterlanders. Beautiful dogs they are but I bet she gets fed up of people asking what her 'springers' are crossed with
The OH says he fancies similar size springers next time. Given I’ve never seen such tall ones as mine, I reckon Mumsterlanders may be the way forward!
I did once find him with his head in a bag of kibble. His stomach looked like he’d swallowed a basketball!
I’m pretty convinced they’re pure, mum was definitely a springer.

Now I was thinking of a Skye terrier.... which for no logical reason whatsoever always remind me of little earwigs (in a cute way!)

My German Shepherds are sable and the two bitches are bi-colors. I'm often asked if they're Belgian Malinois. One man asked me about my sable boy's bloodlines so I thought he knew GSDs and started talking about his breeding when the man cut in and asked what sort of mix he was.

I’ve seen a few pure black what I think are shepherds recently. Are they more likely Malinois?
