This is a blog of my photography. The PotD will be updated daily. I shoot around the Chicago area, in the city and out in the state parks in the northern part of the state, and all around the suburbs. You can click to enlarge any photograph, and requests for prints and wallpapers are welcome. My photos are stored over on Flickr too.

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

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a German Short-hair Pointer, from the muzzle. The coat is kind of mottled/spotted, yes?
ReplyDeleteYes, 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.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I think I'll be much more knowledgeable about dog breeds by the time this month is over. ;-)
