Kilimanjaro Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Well, I just couldn't stand not sharing the pics I have of my new pup! heck, I haven't even got to pick him up yet. He is 6 weeks old as of 2 days ago. I have about 2 more weeks to wait. I got a feeling that he is going to be one helluva bird dog. These pics were taken yesterday. He sure was hammin it up for the camera! One of my best buds back home in TX has this litter and has some of the best bloodlines these dogs have to offer. I have just been waiting for the right pup. I was waiting for the right breeding, color pattern, etc. and this little dude has fit the bill to a tee. He said he had this pup picked out for me since the litter whelped. I think he'll do just great. I feel like that proud dad bragging about his sons base first hit at the ball game! I haven't had an English Pointer in about 5 or 6 years now. I forgot how much I enjoy them. I can't till this fall to see him and My Brit tearin up the Mearns hills out here in AZ!!! What do ya'll think, we are thinking of naming him either Kanaan (pronounced Caynan) or Virgil. Give me some input on that boys.... Hope these couple of pics bring a smile to your day as only a puppy can!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Scott, Good Looking pup! I'd name him Canaan; the hard K and long A sound will carry farther when you call him. Sonoita or Montana, here he comes. Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Wow Scott, that pup's a looker for sure.... Our family dog died over a year ago, and if my kids see that picture, I'm sunk! Seems like every week they're bugging me to get a puppy! Scot, Doug, anyone; what are your honest opinions of vislas? A buddy of mine, who is fairly new to bird dogs, has aquired two of them over the past couple of years and it looks like he's going to maybe breed them in the next year or so. He's promised my kids a free pup from the litter. OK bird dogs? OK 'kid' dogs? Any opinions would be appreciated. S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kilimanjaro Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Stan and everyone else , thanks for the kind works.Stan, if that litter is out of that buddy of yours that hunts Mearns pretty religously, I'd snatch one up ASAP!! They are really good dogs and since they are fairly uncommon, they haven't been polluted with "show dog syndrome" if ya know what I mean. And if I am right about whose litter it is, it sounds like the breeder has some good dogs already. And on top of that, they are really beautiful dogs to boot!Go get ya one Stan!! Give me a ring and we'll talk.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 29, 2005 That is one gorgeous pup!! I like Kanaan best of the two choices of names. It sounds studlier than Virgil and more pleasing to the ear. That pup looks like he knows he is from good bloodlines! Have fun with him. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az4life Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Sharp looking pup! For calling the dog, Kaanan is better, but let me toss out another idea. how about something like "Arrow"! seems appropriate for a sharp straight dog like that! Great for a pointer too. Another .02 you probably did not need for a name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kilimanjaro Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks everyone for all the kind words about the little toot. We are still in limbo on what to name him, but I think after he comes to the house next week, his most commonly used name will be what most new puppy's are, Dammit!! And if all of you don't mind, I'll post some more as they come. Travis ( breeder) said he was going to send me a few of him in the yard with a hobbled pigeon in front of him. Again, thanks.......

stanley Report post Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks for the input on the visla Scott. Yes, it is my buddy from Tucson, and he's been working his two dogs pretty good. He said his female is really coming-up nice, and his big male had a great year. He's been buying birds and getting them out on them on occasion, and has been bugging me to come down & join him. Might have to do that some day... Be sure to post some more pics of the little guy! S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
