When Bear was surrendered his papers indicated that he was Poole/Irish.....
Now is that Irish Setter or is the Irish Wolfhound?

I'm voting Iris setter/Poodle because of his coloring. Not sure if Wolfhounds come in apricot. I bet he was purposly bred to have that doodle look. I've been agreeing with Amber lately that Addie has some Sheltie in her. She has a Sheltie-like body, holds her tail high, and likes to herd. Maybe a Sheltidoodle???
ReplyDeleteI, too, vote for the setter/poodle mix. Bear's body seems more shaped like a setter than a wolfhound, plus there's that reddish color. However, I'm having fun envisioning an "Iris" setter -- is that a setter growing iris flowers all over its body? :-)
ReplyDeleteI did a Google image search for "Irish setter poodle mix" and found these, neither of which looks especially like Bear:

My husband Pat thinks that Bear's nose looks more like a wolfhound's.
ReplyDeleteSetter Doodle - definitely. so gorgeous! Congrats Bear!!
ReplyDeleteHere's yet another "Irish" dog breed, the Irish Water Spaniel:

They look kind of like a lab body with poodle hair.
