| Irish Red Setter-not a common breed anymore. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Jack Russell- a very popular breed in the UK but not so common in model form. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The new Schleich Great Dane with my other models. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]English Springer spaniel-again a very popular breed but not so common in model form-the ERTL models seem more like a Brittany spaniel to me.

| Very useful photos and the only non British brand is the Great Dane which is not Danish either. It is a pity the only known figure of the giant English Mastiff is the Wild Republic moveable. I asked the most famous AI program of the moment why is the German Mastiff popular known as a Danish dog when it is Deutsch instead and here is the answer: "The Great Dane became associated with Denmark in popular culture due to its use in a marketing campaign for a Danish brand of canned meat in the early 20th century. The brand, known as "Gammel Dansk" or "Old Danish", featured a stylized image of a Great Dane on its label. This image was widely circulated and became synonymous with the brand, and by extension, Denmark itself. The association was further cemented when an American cartoonist named J. R. Bray created a cartoon character called "Marmaduke" in 1954. Marmaduke was a Great Dane who was depicted as living in a suburban American household, but he often made references to his "Danish heritage" and was shown wearing a Danish flag collar. This portrayal further contributed to the association between Great Danes and Denmark in popular culture." |

| Thank you all folks. Roger,its interesting to hear about how the Deutsche Dogge or Ulmer dog became a Great Dane,even though the dog had a very long history in Germany as a hunting/guard dog and was even favoured by the man that did a great deal for Germany,Bismarck. Also that Great Dane was used by Captain Graham in his recreation of that iconic Irish dog breed-the Irish Wolfhound. |

| It is much more interesting reading you, Taylor. We learn a lot with dogs, it is like collecting horse breeds or so, they tell a lot about the history of each country or region. |

| Sorry for bringing back this topic but if it is easy for you to find the AAA spaniel, could you please share a picture for TAW? |
