Close.  He is a German Longhair Pointer. 

The white one is a Bichon.

BTW I have been noticing that the elevation of the GLP's nose is directly proportional to the distance from the birds.

That point in the picture the birds were about 30 feet or more away.  When that nose is level with his body it is generally in the neighborhood of 10 feet.  Nose on the ground usually means less than five feet. 

The Bichon definitely has a nose for birds.  He does have a hard time with retrieves and he does have a hard time honoring points.   We will see if he is more than a novelty this fall.

I have never seen a GLP in the flesh, gotta love that high headed point! almost a rock star kinda pose.
