I had a friend tell me about a dog in need, so I went to check him out and ended up bringing him home. He is a 4 year old English pointer and an excellent dog! The people have a bird dog kennel and when we went to see him the said that his bloodlines are worth thousands but he is worth nothing to them, they continued to tell us that he would never make a house pet or be a valuable member of the canine community. They kept him out in a kennel year round that was much too small for him, he is skin and bones, partially deaf and had worms really bad. They at least got him neutered last Friday. He was never let into their house, and they thought it was a crazy idea to even try him in a house, saying that he is too much dog to be inside and he will destroy it.

Well we brought him home and he is the biggest sweetheart, which we could tell upon meeting him. He is completely housetrained, and hasn't destroyed anything. He knows his boundaries, manners and well we are just enjoying him very much! He is great with other dogs of all sizes, ages and sex, loves children and all people. He is just one happy go lucky boy. And he is not hyper, he doesn't even jump on anyone, he greets very nicely. I walk him twice a day with a Halti because his only real issue is pulling and that is working great for him! His partial deafness hasn't been much of an problem with us.

He is just an excellent dog and we know our little Calypso and him are going to be great siblings!

Glad to see pics of the little guy, he's a cutie.

So glad he's got a loving home now that he's been rescued from those wretched people!

Thank you both, he is such a lover...that's all he ever wanted and needed for that matter!

Awww glad you found him!

What a cutie! Glad he has a real home now and a real family

Oh my gosh, how cute! After never seeing the inside of a house I bet he's incredibly happy to have a couch to lay on! Glad he has a fantastic home and family to spend the rest of his life with

We have numerous hunting kennels and clubs in my area and I have heard this story way to often. Although I will admit most of the 'rejects' do find homes with relatives or do end up living as a house dog, its sad.
My husband wanted a pointer before we started researching hunting breeds, now its GWP or Griffon.

Thank you all, he is enjoying his life here for sure, you can just see the happiness .

what a sweetie, thank god you saved him!
