I didn't realize it until, today, but it's been almost exactly a year, since Sandy passed to the big timber in the sky.....I've done a ton of research this past year on hunting dogs of all breeds, and finally decided that I'm ready to train another hunting companion.
After all the research and talking with other owners, I decided on a female German Short-Hair.....they are quite intelligent, and can be trained or cross-trained to pursue various game animals, as well as retrieve.
So, I put a down payment on the pick of the litter for a female, which was born last Wednesday.....there are only a few breeders here in MS, and this one is very honest and has five star facilities.....I'll pick her up in 8 weeks.
Here's a picture of the sire:
