Fitz is 3 months old now and a blast. Pretty calm most of the time and will not leave my side which is awesome but also gets aggravating at times. Dude loves to fetch and returns to me promptly and calmly. Loves the water so far (jumped out of the boat twice last weekend ) He doesn't jump on people, get on furniture, or sleep with me. He lives in a kennel while I'm at work and handles it nicely other than pissing in there every so often, but I can't do much about that right now. Overall he's awesome and knows his place to the point where a stern look in his eyes forces him down. Looking forward to some training in the near future. His beard is coming in nicely and he's getting darker every day.


eta: UPDATE 5/6
Here he is at about 4months old

Nice looking pup. Is this a retriever, or just a pet?

That is a cool looking dog bud. Never heard of this breed, looks like a GSP w a beard. Where did you find him?

ETA: after researching,,, I see it is a German "wirehair" pointer.

I wouldn't own a dog like this and have him as just a pet.

ETA: yea he is a GWP foremost and a Deutsch Drahthaar which is sort of a sub breed of the GWP

Cash reward, huh?

"I was a pet detective for a while. I once found this dog, bought it back to the lady and she gave me $20. So I started doing it more often until it got weird when people wouldn't pay the ransom."

"Ransom?!?!"

"That's what the lawyers called it..."

There might be something to edit or blur out on your picture.

Love these guys. I've had GSP's all my life. How do they compare? Maybe when the boy turns two I'll make the switch to GWP.



Yeah, you might want to blur that out. Why are you advertising cash reward? Way to motivate the criminals.

Gorgeous pup.

Nothing more rewarding seeing your dog learn and progress into a bad arse hunting dog.

You gonna eventually send him off, or do all of the training yourself?

C'mon man. You didn't have to post that. Take that down.

At least have to common decency to send him illicit text messages like I did.

This. I didn't buy a companion to send him off for 4 months to do something I understand that I must make time for. I've got plenty of resources and people to help me out along the way.

Vom Fenco out of Mt Pleasant Tx. I'm in a group text with the other owners of the males from the litter and they are all outstanding for such youngsters. I'll be going to the Dallas area soon to do check out some of the DD training days and get my pup some exposure.

When it's time to get another pup, I'll be doing all of the training myself, after knowing what I know now.

I've got a couple of secret spots around BR I like to go work my dogs if you want to get the pups together soon.
