We have always had working strain Red setters so often get asked what they are and also "they must be cross breeds!" because they are not the show build and have small white markings.
any pics? I don't think I've ever seen working line onesWe have always had working strain Red setters so often get asked what they are and also "they must be cross breeds!" because they are not the show build and have small white markings.
I was once walking a male goat and got asked three times, by different people, what breed of dog was it.
He takes daft to entirely new levels!lol, but he's daft enough to be showbred surely!?

I have WCS, Springer and a Lab . my Lab is out of working stock- looks like the fox red variety- (although not paperered-pure gamekeeper bred) and very fit and lean- I often get people saying how lovely she is then they ask what breed
Any idea what sort of a collie Nancy is? Apart from a lovely one, obviously!!
I had loads of people asking if mine was an Australian shepherd and kept saying no, he’s a border collie (hadn’t even heard of Aussies) Then I looked into his pedigree and saw he does have an Aussie grandparent, so pretty close. And now looking at photos of Aussie shepherds I can see them in him.
My lab has no tail so people think she night be a vizla, or a cross. She looks very much like a lab to me.View attachment 29141
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.
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.

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 was once asked by a child if I 'had a pig in there?', thanks to some hysterical squealing and snorting (he likes going to the beach).

Lovely! What happened to her tail?
