I tend to think of Wyatt as more of second stringer who was called off the bench to play. He's adjusting very quickly, much more so than my rescue who literally took years to become a "normal" dog.<br /><br />Anna, I hope you didn't change your mind about that name on my account. I don't have a trademark on it and I think it's cool enough that there should be a few more out there. Good looking Vizsla, by the way.Mark Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105837142551567890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568087049707971913.post-44338249570277579972010-08-04T10:08:32.129-04:002010-08-04T10:08:32.129-04:00Sounds like you're on your way.

Rare is the Brit I've seen that will stand still for more than 5 seconds, but there are a couple that come here that are fantastic, and very sweet dogs with lots of natural ability. Hopefully I can get a pic of them this season when we kick start training again.<br /><br />You have good taste in names, we were thinking Wyatt (after wyatt earp) for our newest addition (lab puppy). Looks like that's out now though.<br />Enjoy, look forward to hearing moreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568087049707971913.post-61426296024603774732010-07-29T22:58:43.848-04:002010-07-29T22:58:43.848-04:00This is an awesome story!

I purchased her from a trainer that was convinced she wouldn't hunt, so he left her tied up to a tree to drink out of a hub cap for the rest of her days.<br /><br />Phoebe was unsettled when more than one or two people were around at once, and she was always a little nervous in the house. Still, when things would quiet down in the evenings, she was a constant loving pet and just terrific around the kids. She was a demon possessed in the field after our first fall together. Turned out all she really needed was someone to leave her alone in the field and trust her instinct.<br /><br />I lost her just this past spring to ovarian cancer that had quickly spread to her chest. We enjoyed ten seasons together, each one eclipsed by the prior. I never could put my finger on it, but it just seemed like she tried harder than any other dog I've owned, always in a state of euphoria around birds and the uplands. Who knows maybe she was just reaching out to her prior owner to give him the finger.Gary Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023031956233923783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568087049707971913.post-5318727987795243812010-07-29T19:12:42.105-04:002010-07-29T19:12:42.105-04:00Good for you all!
