My husband and I are so excited to make the following announcement:\u00a0 a baby is on the way – a baby puppy, that is.\u00a0 After months and months of research and planning, we are taking the next step in our marriage and adopting a puppy!<\/h3>\n

We have decided that a German Short Haired Pointer is the dog that will fit our lifestyle the best.\u00a0 We want someone who can go jogging, camping, hiking and traveling with us and will adjust\u00a0 easily to an infant when we decide\u00a0to\u00a0expand our \u00a0human family.\u00a0 We talked to people and\u00a0\u00a0debated and have decided to get a female.\u00a0 My husband, who has never owned a dog, was pulling for a male, but I grew up with female dogs and know how loyal and caring they are.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Our little lady will be born in Canada, just north of Niagara Falls, in March and will be ready to come home with us in May.\u00a0 This breed is known for having large litters, and the breeder feels confident that there will be more than one\u00a0girl to choose from.\u00a0 As soon as the puppies\u00a0are born,\u00a0the breeder\u00a0will start sending photos in order for us to watch the growth progress and to start bonding – virtually.<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
This is the mother “Phoebe.”<\/em><\/div>\n

We have read several books on how to train a puppy and hope we can pull it off.\u00a0 When I was little, my parents got a springer spaniel, and she was one year old when she joined our family.\u00a0 Several years after she died, my brother and I adopted a three-year-old greyhound for our parents.\u00a0 Both dogs were potty-broken by the time they came to us, so I missed out on that aspect of pet ownership.\u00a0 Both my husband and I will be rookies in that area.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n
This is the sire “Dawson.”<\/em><\/div>\n

As soon as we start receiving photos of the new crop of pointers from our breeder, I will share them with you…….so, stay tuned.Cheers!<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
