Were You Right?

Yesterday I posted an image and asked visitors to guess the breed of dog that I photographed. Here’s the image: http://betsydallasphoto.com/WordPressNew/?p=5335 How many of you were correct? This is a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Very close looking to a German Wirehaired Pointer, but in reading about both breeds, I learned that yellow eyes in the GWP are not desirable. This dog has beautiful yellow eyes, characteristic of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. This breed has been called “the 4-wheel drive of hunting dogs” because they enter briars and underbrush without hesitation. They are pointers in the field and retrievers in the water. Such a sweet look, don’t you think?
