I love the look of wolfhounds and deerhounds but they aren't a good fit for me with the size and short life span.
Any dogs that look like them but are more medium size? Maybe a mix?
there are a bunch of terriers that look similar. they're small to medium sized dogs.

Just get a lurcher? Not that you should be getting a dog just for its looks.
I'd try for schnauzer or airedale/welsh terrier mixes from a shelter or on Petfinder. I've seen a few, mixed with god knows what, tend to have similar body shapes but are much smaller.

Doesn't sound like OP is just getting a dog just for it's looks because they already know these breeds are incompatible for them. Besides, even with adoption or rescue situations it'd be ridiculous if you think people don't get pets because it's general appearance appealed to them initially.

Get an Italian Spinone or something of that ilk. They're great.
My gf has a massive Spinone dog (for the breed) and he's only just starting to feel his age after nine years of being in his physical prime. All the others we've come across are generally smaller then he is.
If you want a good hunting dog with course hair that sheds (and don't mind slobber), go for them.
