Hey everyone! I am new in this forum as well. My name is Natalie, 27 years of age and a new GSP owner. I recently adopted a German Shorthaired Pointer from a rescue organization. She is currently 2 years old and her name is Gappy. Glad to know she was not abused from her previous owners (like other dog's history in rescue organizations). The family was relocated to another country due to their nature of work and could not bring Gappy with them. I know it was hard for them to leave Gappy but I assured them that I will give all my love and care to Gappy. The organization gave me the previous owner's email address and it's nice to know they have another dog right now. Glad to meet all of you. Hoping to chat with you all around.

German Shorthaired Pointer training is something I need to put in my mind and heart to make it successful.

I am new to Shorthairs.net as well - although not new to GSPs. My last Shorthair was Sophie, whom I rescued from GSP Rescue of Wisconsin (great folks). She was a great dog, and highly trainable - although there was some evidence that she was hit too hard as a pup. She would cringe if I was upset at her, and stood over her (like she was expecting to be hit) - poor girl! She turned out to be a great hunting dog - very eager to please - and a great snuggler (with my wife, of course...)!

It is watching the dogs work that I thoroughly enjoy, and love. I could get by with just watching them work - if it weren't for all the training, and the joy they exhibit when they pick-up, and deilver to hand a bird that they pointed, and you shot. - Todd

Welcome to the forum...all three of you! And welcome to the wonderful world of owning and loving a GSP! My best advice would be to READ..READ...READ the previous posts on here by using the search function to find out lots of valuable information!! Secondly, I would highly recommend asking any questions you have that you can't find using the search function. There are so many patient, experienced, and knowledgeable members on this forum that are so willing to help out! But they can't help if you dont ask. For the most part...I would start out by using the general discussion forum to ask questions...seems like more members are on there or you get faster answers. But be sure to browse the other forums also. I would encourage each one of you to start a new thread(individually) in the general discussion forum...introducing yourself...your dog...and POST PICTURES!!!!

The NDP has released christian louboutin outlet daring attack ads against Prime Minister Stephen Harper, claiming his Conservative government is responsible for the largest deficits in Canadian history and accusing the Tories of leading the country into another economic downturn. The ads directly attack what is perceived to be Harpers strong suit, the economy, a move made famous by Republican strategist Karl Rove. The Harper Conservatives won their first majority government last year by touting their economic management to Canadian voters. Stephen Harper cheap nfl jerseys says the economy is very fragile, and hes right, a womans voice says in the English version of the ad. Because after leading Canada into the worst recession of this generation, Conservatives have another economic downturn on their hands. And whats Stephen christian louboutin shoes Harper solution? Attack the most vulnerable Canadians when they are most in need, the ad continues, as menacing drums swell in the background. The ads, one in English and one in French, were uploaded to the NDPs YouTube page Tuesday afternoon. Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae weighed in on the new NDP ads on Tuesday. Attack ads on both gucci outlet sides as NDP and Cons savage each other C they deserve each other, and Canadians deserve better, he said on Twitter. Attack ads outside of the electoral season were rare in Canadian politics until the Harper Conservatives began to use them to try and define their opponents. The NDP move comes after the Conservatives launched their own attack ads against Thomas Mulcair in late June, saying his party has risky economic theories and wants to implement dangerous economic experiments such as a carbon tax. The English louis vuitton outlet ad concluded with the tag line: ??We can??t afford Mulcair??s NDP.?? The French version of the ad was similar but contrasted Mulcair??s carbon tax agenda with Harper??s job creation record. The Conservatives strategy against Mulcair, who has been leader for less than four months, is in stark contrast to their previous attacks on former Liberal leaders Stephane Dion and Michael Ignatieff. Both Dion and Ignatieff, respectively, were branded as ??not a leader?? and ??just visiting,?? in immediate attacks ads from the Conservatives after taking over the Liberals. Neither were able to mulberry outlet effectively counter those ads. Mulcair has had three months to introduce himself to Canadians, in which polls have shown the NDP gaining a small lead on the ruling Conservatives. With files from The NBA jerseys Canadian Press.
