Welcome to
shorthairs.net
I finally had a couple of old (1987) photos scanned of my first GSPs as puppies. You can probably tell which one grew up to be The Best Dog Who Ever Lived, and which one was known as "The German Shorthair from H*ll!" (I may have to do this in 2 posts.)
(Oh nuts, I should have resized.
Here's the other one. http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff174/vnrose/Dogs/?action=view¤t=pepper2.jpg&newest=1
Oh well, this time I got the wrong link, but its there!
Yes, you're all right--the first one is Clio, and her expression is "I'm supposed to get off this sofa? DREAM ON!" Stubborn, independent, she got by on beauty and turning on the charm when it suited her! Pepper was sweet, good-natured, a little goofy, and, as I said, the best dog who ever lived. I miss them both, but having them led to my current GSPs, so, life goes on!
Actually I looked him up interesting pedigree. His Grandfather was Native dancers Father. Great horses. Was he yours?
Gunnar, that threw me until I realized I'd scanned that old photo onto Photobucket--no, he was a great racehorse back in the 1960's--very popular, sort of "the Black Stallion come to life," (except that he was a gelding!).
Rachel or Zenyatta? (You got one chance to get it right!)
