Today’s model – the German Wirehaired Pointer!  Don’t you just love their beard?  This is a hunting breed that needs a job and a good amount of exercise.  They have a wiry water repellent coat to protect them when they are hunting.  I don’t know, for some reason when I look at this breed with the longer muzzle and beard, I think of the Phillie Phanatic [Philadelphia Phillies baseball mascot]!  Just call me crazy!  🙂
