Alex

Alex' History: Alex is an amazing birddog. He is everything you want in a Field Bred Pointer. We have been training him on live birds and not only is he quite the hunter, but he handles beautifully off leash and is starting to hold point. He was definately trained for Field Trialing- but we think the training could have been abusive as sometimes he is hand shy. He is so good that we have decided to enter him in an American Field walking trial the end of the month. Our ideal adopter for Alex- would be one who is familiar perhaps with Field trialing, or one who is an experienced hunter- but also one who understands that these dogs absolutely demand human interaction and will spoil him rotten as a house pet. Alex would also be a good candidate to get his AKC Indefinate Listing Priviledge to compete in Hunt tests. Alex is house broken, crate trained, and really the Best snuggler ever! He has been delightful to have around, and is slowly learning some basic manners - like walking on lead - (he wants to GO!) He has learned not to jump over the couch and to stop petsterign the girl dogs before they get upset.


He still is a good boy in a crate, especially if he gets to take his nyla bones and rope toys with him. Big and brawny as he is - Alex loves to cuddle. He has a big soft head and when he puts it down, all his extra puppy skin puddles in to wrinkles! He sleep squietly in bed at night and doesn't snore - he does like his own pillow though, or maybe you would like to share yours? Alex is a pure-bred Lemon and White American Field English Pointer- but looks like he has a big 'ol Lab-like head. He is a big strapping boy and his foster Mom says he looks like a Doggie Chippendale Dancer as he is very toned and muscular. She says he is just gorgeous. He is most likely under 1 year old and will make someone a fabulous pet and companion. When I take Alex out for a walk, he literally stops traffic with his good looks! He loves to play fetch with a tennis ball too.

Update from his forever home: Attached is a picture of Alex in Wisconsin this weekend. We had 18 inches of snow up north, and drifts of 3-4 feet. The dogs had a blast running through the drifts and digging around the banks of the frozen river. The picture is Alex hunting something, possibly a muskrat.
