Pitter Patter Pitter Patter



Can't you just hear them now. The Pitter Patter of four little feet running through the house. Exploring all the new things that only a warm and loving home can provide. These little guys are 8 weeks old and are purebred Pointers. They were turned into the shelter in Hopkinsville, KY because no one would buy them from their breeder. You are probably asking yourself, Why? Well, it's like this. Some folks out there think that the only way a hunting dog can be any good is to be the stereotype dog. In this case, the straight 12 o'clock tail and have nothing missing. In Ernie's case, it one of his toes on the rear leg, and his tail has a kink to it. Now it doesn't stop him from running. Nor walking, or even jumping up and giving kisses. Heck! it wouldn't stop him from hunting either. But some ridiculous theory says differently.

Now, Bert on the other hand may never be the hunter and that's okay too. See, Bert is deaf, but with proper training, he can enjoy all the fun and love just like any other dog. Right now all either one of these pups wants is a home to play in and round around a big 'ol yard.
