Dog 360

Always a medium to dark shade of liver, their distinctive coats make them stand out in the crowd. Other than their muzzles, a V-shape at the front of their necks and the tail, (apart from the first 3-4 inches), the entire body is covered in dense, tight ringlets. The tallest of all the Spaniels, IWSs are well-balanced dogs and the only breed of spaniel not to have a customarily docked tail, which gives rise to another favourite nickname - “Whiptail”. They are upstanding, strongly built, compact dogs that move freely, soundly and cover the ground with good reach and drive

The tallest and largest breed of the hound group, these muscular, powerful dogs have a commanding appearance whilst still being gracefully built. Their coats consist of harsh, rough and rather unkempt-looking hair. Their long legs cover the ground in an easy, active manner.

This is a elegant and slender dog, looking like a standard greyhound but in minature. The coat is smooth and glossy and can come in a variety of shades. The head is narrow with a very fine muzzle and ears are softly folded and set high on the head. The spine slopes gently and there is a defined tuck up in the loins. The gait is high stepping and free. This can be a very fast dog when it is so inclined.

Bearing an undeniable resemblance to their larger cousins, the Samoyeds, the Japanese Spitz is a handsome breed. Their profuse, white, stand-off coat, pointed muzzle and bushy tail carried over their backs make them instantly recognisable.

Kerry Blues are unmistakable due to their distinctive colouring – blue-grey. Their coats are, unlike many terrier breeds, soft, thick and wavy without an under layer. They are upstanding,well-put-together terriers with short, straight backs and a good depth of chest. They are compact, spirited dogs who move freely and powerfully.
