Born Hunter 17,639 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Difficult to separate from work entirely. I just don't think I've ever found a non working blooded dog a better looking animal than a worker. Form seems to follow function in my mind. A fawn smooth hard muscled lurcher can look incredible. So can a well built wire coated fell type or a houndy looking cocker. 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well in a way most breeds worked at some point even though most now only parade around the show ring, i agree though most working breeds that are in condition look well with it.

I don't know what i prefer, i think these modern over bully looking types can look over the top. Our old dog is a picture perfect Patterdale IMO. Proper old Nuttall type. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Ever since I was I was a kid, I've always liked Dobermans. A well exercised Doberman with good posture is a very majestic thing to see. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, can't beat a 'Terrier looking' type, at the end of the day that's how they should look. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I've come to love this little twat. She's got bags of character, gets her arse kicked by cats, eats dead frogs, hates old people and, insists on laying near my daughter when she's not feeling well. We think she's quarter Jack Russell, 3/4 Chihuahua. She's not everyone's taste but, she'll do for me 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
