This gorgeous creature is my nephew's dog, Misse (pronounced Missy). He bought her from the pound at 12 weeks old and she was supposedly a whippet cross. She is now 6 months old, getting big and very, very fast. I suspect she might be a greyhound, and not very cross at all.
Her personality is delightful. She is very friendly and full of joie de vivre.
As a great dane owner...I'm thinking great dane mixed with one of the sight hounds, possibly whippet, I suppose (although I'm having a hard time imagining how that would be physically possible). Probably a breed with ears that stand up, because natural great dane ears are big and floppy, almost like a labrador retriever. But those feet and the coloring are all great dane.
I have to agree with kasaba I think there is great dane in there somewhere. More light in the eyes would really make her pretty face stand out. I am looking forward to seeing more photos of Misse,
Yes, looks like a greyhound to me. Misse is a beautiful dog (it's amazing what you can find at the pound), & this is a lovely portrait. I like the bed & toy in the BG. Hopefully you can get a shot of her running, all 4 feet off the ground. It's amazing.
How nice of your nephew to get a dog from the pound. She looks VERY large ... Greyhound-Dane mix? Love the way those long legs are placed, looks so elegant.
She's adorable. I love how you captured a moment of excitement. Almost like she was laying there and someone called out "treat" which brought her straight to attention.
What a happy looking pup. Nice capture, especially how you picked a low angle to get the shot. The toy in the background reminds us she is a little one....
I love dogs and this girl is a beauty - great job getting her fur so crisp .. I also agree with sulamk about lightening the dog's eye - a bit of dodging would make her beautiful face jump right out .. I can see that there is already a catch light in her left eye so dodging it would be easy to do. For 6 months she is definitely going to be a bog dog with long legs .. just a darling - thanks for the beautiful photo - I could look at dogs all day.
