I love dogs. I think they're brilliant, and today I saw quite possibly the best looking dog I've ever seen.

I'd love to know what breed he was, but I didn't see his owner to ask.

The closest I've found on the internet is this beautiful animal:

Does anyone know the breed of this dog, and any that look similar? I think the dog I saw today was either this breed or one very very similar. Perhaps a young one - he had a lighter nose and an ever so slightly darker colour to him.

Looks like a gun dog, Weimaraner?

Or Vizsla

Thanks Fin - I'm almost certain the dog I saw was a Vizsla.

I've always wanted to keep a border collie in the future, but I think that may be challenged now! :P

Westies aren't snappy yappy dogs!! They are quiet and dignified, a little reserved and have an excellent sense of humour.

A dog isn't an option for us now, but we've had a Yorkshire Terrier and a Springer Spaniel, both great fun.

I can't do it now, but I'll upload a pic of my mate's mini Jack Russell later :)

We had a springer called Poppy, but she died a couple of years ago.

Irish Setters for me (yes, the red ones :roll: ). They are truly mental :D

However, we recently got a collie cross from the rescue place near us. He's got a lot of pointer in him and some spaniel and resides close to the bottom in the intelligence stakes :lol: This does provide us with some hilarious moments especially when you throw two tennis balls for him to fetch - you can see the thought process as he struggles to choose just one......

He's part collie, part Newfoundlander and part German shepherd.
