Oh, my! I'd have to take a sabbatical from work if Gibson was my doggy -- I wouldn't be able to walk away from his cuteness long enough to deliver a productive day!
This is my friends dog- Dexter. He is the son of my male 'Schnitzel' and my female 'Dutch'.
He is a fantastic dog. Super friendly, very smart and does great in the field and water. He is totally like his mom and dad- perfect blend so to speak. His owner says he is the epitome of a German shorthaired pointer- best companion dog at home and a true hunter in the field. Very cooperative on the hunt too. He works with the handler- figures things out very quickly.
I wanted to keep this little guy but with two young dogs already I decided to wait a few years..
If you like to see working dogs, especially versatile dogs- our NAVHDA chapter as some great photos on their page. I'm a member, and my dogs are in there so I think it's okay to post a link to their site.
My female GSP Dutch getting some field training in. She is in the distance, pointing. The other dog is a pretty Llewellyn Setter, honoring Dutchs' point on the bird.
I was going through some old photos and found this. Jessie-I got her when she was 7 or so, sent her over the bridge 5 years later.
Jessie! I loved that name so much I used it twice. Had a white shepherd when I was just out of college who I named Jessie. Best of all my dogs. 20 years later I got a shepherd/collie and could not come up with a good name. So I said screw it, my Grandmother had 9 parakeets named Pete so I'll just have 2 Jessies.
Below is my last Jessie, the other one is referred to as "White Jessie".
My 2 aunts and grandmother would name every other dog Sasha and Lindy. If Lindy just died, the next one's name would be Sasha. When Sasha passed, the next one would be Lindy.
Kept things simple I guess.
