A friend sent some links about a breed called a Vizsla (pronounced "veesh-la"), which is a hungarian bird hunting dog. Aparently, it's the oldest pointing breed in existence. The descriptions of their behavior sure does seem to match hers. They usually crop their tails a bit, and I guess whoever had Zephyr before us didn't, thankfully.
What do you think?
Zephyr herself...
A Vizsla...
The only real difference seems to be that Zephyr's nose is darker than most of them. The color of her coat depends a lot on the lighting... not quite as red as the dog above, but darker than she looks in the pictures. Otherwise that dog above could be her...
Here's some info about the breed:

Thanks for all the pictures of the islands. Definately seems like the best place to "study" to me. I heard that the Mylroies went down to Australia? Busy Busy chasing Salamanders up here. Having a nice summer, but too busy. All the salmon a jumping around here. Lots of Sockeye and some kings. There was a pretty awesome 600 plus person Critical mass this friday must have stretched out about a quarter mile.
Pretty cool. Lots of art bikes and a sweet stereo system on a burley trailer. My friend got a vizula or whatever not to long ago and love it.
Take care
