Top 8 Most Elegant Dog Breeds

Introduction

All dogs are beautiful, but it has to be said some breeds just top the charts for pawsome poise and elegance far more than others do. They may be daintier, have longer legs, or an incredible attention-grabbing stance which puts them leagues ahead of other breeds. Sometimes it's the furrific length or glossy condition of their coat which gives them that extra outstanding look and puts them in a class of their own. When they move, some doggos are as graceful as ballerinas, even though they've got four legs rather than two. Here are the top most elegant dog breeds that will exude grace in every step.

Afghan Hound

The Afghan Hound is the epitome of canine elegance, and holds number one spot in the most elegant dog breed listings. Their tall, slender build, pointed muzzles, long legs and flowing mane-like coats combined with their catwalk model manner of striding makes them almost incomparable. They are totally pawsome pooches.

Irish Setter

Irish Setters are truly one of the most elegant dog breeds. The Irish Setter, a medium-sized pup belonging to the retriever family, has stunning long, red fur and they're beautiful pups - even when they haven't been groomed to tip-top perfection. They are the Disney princesses of the dog world.

Weimaraner

The Weimaraner is a breed apart and one of the most elegant dogs imaginable. Their muscular stance and the way they hold their head high gives them a proud bearing which is noble, and almost regal. Their unusually colored, glossy grey-blue coats make them extra special too. They're furrifically elegant.
