Having been such a fan of pointers and setters for so many years, I didn't really want to get a Vizsla, but after building our new kitchen and putting in counter-tops made of old reclaimed southern yellow pine, I decided that I should pick a breed that went well with the colors of the kitchen. She's a pretty close match. Obviously, I'm joking, but over the years, I've heard of folks choosing a dog breed for reasons more trivial than this.
