Puppy !

***EDIT: The title was supposed to be "Puppy Pohrn" - surprisingly it won't let me type the 2nd word correctly!****

Looking forward to getting to know this little guy and the future adventures in store for us!

Finn vom Coraschatten (he is a Deutsch Langhaar [aka German Longhaired Pointer])

He is actually REALLY laid back! I am so not used to this, as I am used to very drivey schutzhund dogs (dobe, gsd, mal, etc.)

This is something I was told about the breed but didn't really understand until I got him. It is a very nice change...but something I still haven't gotten used to!

He's a great looking pup! When I looked up the GLP (My initials too) on Wikipedia they say "Watch out for aggression in puppy years". Wikipedia wrong again?

Hard to say as he's only been with us 2 weeks now. His personality at this point is on the more dominant side....but we'll see what this matures to. Very confident and Very calm are the two major traits that stand out up to now.

Congratulations, good looking pup and I believe you have done considerable research looking for the dog. You have been on several forums always asking questions. Will you be looking at testing in the JGHV program or others? I know that the longhair is frequently tested through that program.

Thanks BDH!

This has been a VERY long process! I had my mind made up lon the breed (and breeder) long ago, but have been training in schutzhund for the past 8 years so had no time to train a dog in a different discipline. My older dobe retired 2 years ago, and we moved house since then, so it was FINALLY the right time. So happy!

And Yes, I will be testing Finn under JGHV.

Very nice. A DL out of that kennel has been on my must have list(DL, DK, DD) for a few years. And on paper the Dam looks phenomenal, I'm sure he will be an excellent hunter.

I've had a lot of time to think about what breed, and breeder I would like. And after much conversations and research I found what I feel is the best fit for me from the DL, and vom Coraschatten kennels. I always wanted a versatile dog, and love the German dogs/breeding program in particular but the DL's calm temperament was the key reason I chose this breed over all the others. I also like the look and wanted a dog that had a good coat for our winters.

Pricing was typical of other versatile dogs, and Cortney posts her prices on her kennel website: http://www.coraschatten.com/

I will test in the JGHV system, and plan to test in NAVHDA as well.

I believe Bianca is the only GLP with a VC. But if you were to ask Cortney (her breeder) she would tell you that Bianca is not special over the others.

Looking forward to seeing what my little guy grows into :)

Thanks!

Would love to get him into blood tracking, now that it is legal :) LOL

Not planning to focus on coons or bear (if that's what you are talking about?) But, if the opportunity presents itself then I may have to oblige :)

BTW, love your signature! Pretty sure that is relevant to most of us on this forum!

Yep, I did mean blood tracking. There is a need for tracking dogs in S. Ontario, its fun to do and is an under estimated part of the hunt - at least for new hunters. Just a matter of getting the word out.

Good for you, and couldn't agree more. I was so happy to see the change to this law, and hope we all make use of it.

I plan to :)
