Reindog 5: Green Elf

Reindog 5: Green Elf

I'm not really up on my dog breed knowledge; is this a retriever, or a hound?

EDIT: It's a German Shorthair Pointer. Thanks, cofax!

  1. I can't tell-- it almost looks like a spaniel, but I can't see his body.

  2. Hmmm, I thought spaniels were kind of squat. This one was a tall thin dog, with a body he size of a labrador retriever but less hairy. I feel like I should know the breed, because it doesn't feel like it's uncommon...hrm.

  3. That looks like a German Short-hair Pointer, from the muzzle. The coat is kind of mottled/spotted, yes?

  4. Yes, I think that's it! Thank you! I was looking at setters on Wiki, and it was close but not quite. But a pointer it is.

    Heh, I think I'll be much more knowledgeable about dog breeds by the time this month is over. ;-)
