Saying goodbye to puppies, two were taken yesterday, ànd another will be gone this weekend. Bittersweet goodbye.

It is hard letting go of them. I raised a litter of Labs one time and never again. I wanted to keep them all

I have had a litter of Shorthairs and one of Rottweiler's and even though you know they are going to be sold it's hard to say good bye.
Gunner was a product of the breeding of his Mom Ilsa to a male from the hunt club I belong to. I rationalized it as way of generating funds for an Alaskan hunting trip and I promised ever so faithfully that I wasn't going to keep any. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.....and puppies and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

We kept our litter of five close - family & friends.
Here's a pic for you Rich - our neighbors Rottweiler (she basically lives with us) She and Kansas are like peas and carrots. ..to keep on topic - here's a snapshot of my first bird-dog (Deputy) when he was a pup and of course, Kansas when he was very young. |

Our Rott was one of the best dogs anyone could ask for. She gave us 13 years of love and friendship.
I'm looking forward to Charlie coming the end of April. He will be a started GSP.

Here's a recent pic of my 2 little girls, Willow and Doodle taken on Up trip, . Unfortunately, they were too young to hunt, but they had a great time, and training is coming along nicely

Poor Willie(willow) started the trip getting extremely car sick, and hated to be put in the truck--she would start foaming at the mouth as soon as she was put in the dog kennel. Fortunately, she did get over it. Doodle had no problems, and is a quick learner. I would hide the grouse I shot, and the pups would find them.
