but with less whisker, squarer face and a smooth coat. very deep red, probably a bit bigger.

i saw a beautiful, beautiful dog like this at the rec, i should have asked, i was chatting to his owner.

    Sounds like a cross to me, possibly with deerhound in it?

    Breeds that look similar to the Irish terrier :

    Airedale
    Lakeland
    Welsh
    Kerry Blue

    However, none of these are deep red, nor are they smooth coated, so either it may have been an Irish that had been clipped very short, or possibly a cross. The Hungarian wirehaired Vizsla looks quite similar to what you describe as well.
