Hey guys,

Don't know how well this will work, but here goes... my sister-in-law is quite the artist and while visiting with my brother and her over the holidays I wandered into her studio to find that she had created a few pieces involving some hunting dogs. Then the debate started....what breed were these pooches? Well, there were a few theories, but no definitive answer. I thought perhaps somebody on the forum might have some ideas - anybody?

It says for the birds so I would assume German Short Haired Pointer and an English Pointer. The painting isn't exactly a real life portrait so it is hard to tell.

Not sure about the dogs but both hunters are blind and deaf, and one of them is a mute too.

Nope, you are right, not exactly a photo, is it? Interestingly enough, it looks like a line of crows in front of the dogs. Is hunting crows a common practice out there?
