Dale

Dale is an almost 3 year old very handsome liver roan male German Shorthaired Pointer. Look at those ears!

He is very social, and very friendly and gets really excited to go on his walks. He is very curious and likes to chase the birds and lizards.

He is a big, strong boy and does pull a little bit on leash in the beginning of the walk because he is so excited, but listens well, and calms down after a few minutes. He is food and treat motivated which is perfect for positive training.

We feel Dale would be a great dog for people who like to go on long walks and hikes. He loves to explore, and gets excited for walks.
