Yesterday we made the trip up to Lincolnshire to choose out Munsterlander puppy and here he is - 'Raycris Branko' who will be known to us as 'Sirius' after the Dog Star, NOT the character in Harry Potter and absolutely nothing to do with IPods!!! We were so impressed with the breeder and owner and his mum, Hanna was an absolutely gorgeous girl with a temperament to match. We chose this little chap as he was full of character and beautiful with it. The breeder called him the 'thug' - he was certainly the fattest so is apparently getting more than his fair share from the 'milk bar'. But he doesn't throw his weight around in a nasty way - he just tries it on a bit and is contrite when corrected (perhaps I can identify with that myself!). This behaviour to me speaks of great intelligence and when properly channelled, will make a fantastic dog. Now begins the looooong two week wait until we can go back and collect him!
Lovely looking puppy Katherine!! I have a German Short haired pointer and they are a hunting dog but she is afraid of water and hates going outside if it is raining. So she has never hunted! I have never heard of a bird dog who hates the rain! LOL But she has a sweet personality if a bit stubborn.
ReplyDeleteThose traits make for a good hunting dog usually!
I'm sure Sirius (which would probably become Siri around here!) will fit in your family just beautifully! Congrats on the new addition!!
lovely dog and what a little fattie! no one will push this pup around, for sure. i hope dougie takes to him when he comes to his new home, and it's nice to see his new dad loving him up. will you breed him?
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, how wonderful that you have a GSP - another hunt, point retrieve. But yours is scared of water? Did she perhaps fall in when she was a pup? BW - I hope Dougie takes to him too - he may be a bit grumpy at first (he is an old man of 14 after all) but pup will have to learn respect - I have no doubt that Dougal will be the boss, though he'll be smaller by quite a lot!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a cutie! Love the pink puppy belly!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michele and welcome to my blog- we've arranged to go and collect him a week tomorrow (Friday 18th) so the countdown begins!
