Bless saw one of these at crufts yesterday he fast fast asleep in his owners arms,do they suffer any major health problems ?

Sheila.

Met a breeder of these at discover dogs. Really interesting breed although I would n't necessarily own one. The chat we had was really interesting  she was very knowlegable Apparently there are 3 different sizes the bigger being sort of retriver size I suppose. Seemed great temperments, she did mentioned that they can have teeth problems as they are not deep rooted and as in cresties another breed I admire , care with their skin otherwise nothing I remembered. As there are few british breeders it could have been her if I remeber correctly she was from Derbyshire have a web site details somewhere.

now that would freak me out if I saw a bald retriever sized dog running about the park!  I like my dogs to have hair but each to their own.

well perhaps that was wrong comparison LOl more vizala ,weim or something that size. Does that sound better !

Donna is really nice, she is the lady you are talking about, she is from my puppy training. She has a standard and intermediates. I love her standard, Diva, she is my favourite. I would have one if they had hairy feet. Thats the only thing I'm not too keen on, something about bald feet that I don't like. I don't know if i could put her website up here, I think its classed as advertising, but if anyone wants it I can pm it them. The standards look a little like Pharoah hounds mixed weim, but a bit thicker set.

Thats the lady Tanya yes very nice lady. Diva is lovely and your description was better than mine in fact oh thought it was a pharoah hound ! I have just found her site via champdogs breeders  

Could be the same breeder as it was in discover dogs that i saw this lovely boy he was the size of a pharoah hound he had very dark grey skin,I saw a crested with pink skin and black spots,lovely temprements wish i had room for one.

Yes the crestie or one of the cresties there was called Armani and being rehomed she was spotty with pink skin I gave her a cuddle. Like cuddling a warm peach and she has now got a lovely new home. Not mine she needed somewhere quiter than my house and oh isn't up for extras atm.

I gave her a cuddle too

I only thought they came in toy size, I think I much prefer the standards, they look a bit like a sight hound.

They are lovely. They have really nice characters too. They love a cuddle

me too! I saw a dog on Sunday at Crufts and couldn't work out what the hell it was--but about the size of a lightweight retriever, bald as a coot and not perhaps the best looking dog there on the day. To tell the truth I wondered if it had Cushings :-O

RRRRRR I thougt he was lovely,beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Sheila

sorry Annabella, you are right--and I don't normally judge anyone or anything by the way they look. apologies :-(
