"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

What is it?
This lovely young dog came to visit this past weekend. What breed is she? Those who already know-- Brett, Chris, Daniela et al, please refrain from giving it away!. I'll answer soon.
I'd go with the crowd and guess taigan or some kind of taigan-tazi cross, and the obvious next question would be: where can I get one too? Beautiful hound.
Great to see her on here, ELH! And I'm bummed that I missed you by just a few days. Glad you made it to Magdalena, though. I knew you're pup would be a big hit. She is splendid!
I know what she is, but I am being good and biting my tongue. I'd be interested in what the coat texture is like, does she have an undercoat or develop one in the winter, does she shed out much in the summer? What's her movement like, does she have the afghan boing?
Might it be a Taigan?

My guess too - WANT!
ReplyDeleteGoing to guess non-show-lines Afghan, just to be different.

ReplyDeleteShe's our puppy and we love her. I will let Steve reveal what breed she is but she is a lovely pet.

ReplyDeleteIs it a Flatcoat,....lol!
ReplyDeleteTaigan? Spill beans!
Very strong pup what ever breed name you want to give it, I reckon it would do well here in Scotland.

ReplyDeleteMark - you took the joke right out of my mouth! Hmm - now you've got me thinking - I wonder what a flattie lurcher would be like?
ReplyDeleteI've read that both flatcoat and golden retrievers crossed with Greyhounds were popular with the gamekeepers of old.
ReplyDeleteGolden retriever/flat-coat crossed with greyhound? I've not heard of that one.
ReplyDeleteAfghan poodle--Is that a new designer breed? Afghandoodle!
