Remember! Dog is just GOD spelled backwards!! :-)

We got a big (90 #) German Wirehair Pointer from some people who train service dogs. Sundance flunked out of the rigorous training course because he was deemed just too timid around new people. He is the best dog you could ever imagine, well-trained, and I respectfully recommend that anyone looking for a truly great dog consider adopting such a service dog.

Anyone looking for a great dog should consider adopting wash-outs from training programs for helper dogs. We adopted Sundance, our beloved big 90 pound German Wirehair Pointer from such a program. He had almost completed the training but washed out because he was deemed just too timid around new people, a characteristic that makes for a great watchdog. Otherwise, he is trained and I can't imagine having a better loyal dog and friend.
