Annabella’s Rocky Road

Who can turn down a FREE AKC german shorthair puppy with a solid lineage. I couldn’t. Now I have three german shorthair puppies to train and take care of. My neighbor Russ Peterson of Rooster Valley Pheasants found himself with two litters of puppies when he meant to have only one. With six extra puppies under foot he needed some help and my little boy Travis just fell in love with this little male shorthair pup. The pup is an all liver male that’s about 9 weeks old. His dam is out of FC AFC ANE UND Evolutions Sparkler. You can check out the dam’s full pedigree here. I will get the papers on the sire later this week, but he is hunting machine on a pheasant preserve.
We have been working on our training with our now three german shorthair puppies, Jake is 11 months old, Abby is 4 months old, and now Rocky who is 2 months old. With a wide range in ages and skill levels it makes dog training quite challenging. But, I don’t know of a better way of learing to train dogs than to get a puppy and start training. My 8 year old son Travis has been quite a big help and is learning to teach the dogs basic obedience with the use of treats and simple commands. Right now we are working on Here, Kennel, Bring it and Sit. Rocky is the best at playing fetch and never seems to tire of the game. Jake seems to have the best nose and Abby is the most birdy of them all. It will be an exciting and busy year for me and the dogs.
