8 month old shorthair female- repost

Postby dwilson » Thu Aug 26, 2010 9:13 pm

I am reposting in a new thread to get all the info at the top. Up for sale is an 8 month old german shorthair female. He is liver patched and ticked. She is a very nice looking dog and will be a bit on the bigger side. She is in her gangly puppy stage right now. She has excellent breeding behind her and has an incredible prey drive. She is not fixed. She is mostly house broken but not 100% reliable. With some individual attention she could easily be a house dog if you wanted. She has had bird exposure and points but being a puppy she does chase a bit yet. She has been in the water and had limited gun exposure. She could be a NAVHDA dog, AKC hunt test dog, some other bird game dog, or a home and hunting companion. She is bright and friendly though a bit hard headed at times. She has been raised so far with another dog and 2 young kids. She has been socialized and been around vehicles. She has not been around horses much. She takes a light touch in training but is not what I would consider soft. She is not a wash out or anything like that. I bought her to play games with and hunt but due to some cutbacks at work my workload has tripled and will likely remain that way for the next 12-18 months so rather than have her go to waste we are going to place her into a new home. She has a bit of east-west front going on now but I expect her to grow out of it as she fills out and finishes growing. She was never injured and moves very well. Tail is high as is her head. Local pickup only or I could meet part way if you definitely want her. She is currently in the house and is kenneled when she can not be supervised. I have 2 young kids that do not fully understand what is going on though they are not super attached to her I would prefer to only hear from really serious people just to keep the stress level down here at home. She is AKC registered and I still have her puppy papers so you can name her anything you like. I believe that answers every question I was asked in the 50 or so window shopping emails I received last time.

I have a lot invested in her at this point but in order to try and get her in the field this fall and to to give someone a break on a quality dog I would be willing to send her home with you for $500. She will come with her full registration, food bowl, and a bit of what she is currently eating so you can switch her over easily. I am located in the far NW suburbs of Minneapolis. I am leaving for India for work in a week so would really like to get her into a new home this weekend if possible. email dustin@dkamwilson.com

Price dropped to $400obo

Larue, I did try posting an ad over on versatile dogs but in the last week and a half it has never shown up and no one responds to any emails over there.

After several more no shows and tire kickers I am willing to take an offer on the pup from any serious buyer. Just shoot me an email with what you are would be willing to do and lets see if we can make a deal. Again, local pickup only please.

Dustin,

I forwarded this page to my dad, who is in Waverly. He knows a few hunters, so perhaps he knows of someone.

Have you contacted the breeder to see if they would take her back? Shorthair rescue?

I feel for ya, it's a bad situation. :( If I were closer, I'd bring her home just to avoid the pound.

Best of luck.

Thanks guys for the support. By shelter I hope I mean the shorthair rescue. I would never put a dog of any quality in a kill shelter I have not been able to get a hold of the breeder since I started this journey. He is about 500 miles away which also doesn't help.

She is still available for anyone wondering.

I cross posted this to Shorthairs.net. The local pickup is not possible for me, hope to see her get a good home.

With this being FT season, perhaps an interested party can help with transport arrangements??? Lots of dogs/trucks travlelin right now....get the dog placed and worry about transport later. Worse case scenario the new owner would spring for airfare??? Hate to see a perfectly good pup end up in rescue when I'm sure compromise can be reached.....

The pup has found a new home. She ended up flying out to Seattle, WA on friday. Shipping a dog was definitely a new experience.
