Beautiful...

Both of these breeds were not exactly first in the queue for brains. Stupid dogs are frustrating.

Dash it all, was going to post a picture but the big boss man is about. At least most of ILX could pass for work related shit on first glance. A picture of a doggie with it's ears blowing in the wind wouldn't. Not unless I worked for the Kennel Club.

Sigh - you'll just have to imagine it...

They're the models of the dog world Suzy. Beauty over brains.

Pfft, who wants an elegant dog anyway? Give me an Irish Wolfhound.

It depends on whether you define 'elegance' as equivalent to 'fashion accessory'. To me, the most elegant dog is a working dog who really knows his job, like a seeing eye dog, sheep dog, retreiver, or police dog. Those dogs are smart, alert, and happy. Their breeding and their work lives merge together into a snug whole.

That's elegance - in the same sense that a mathematical formula or scienctific theory can be elegant.

I think Irish Setters are elegant.
