It's Official... I'm a Sucker for Spots

Yeah yeah yeah... I'm a GSP girl, but sometimes I just can't say no to spots...  This 9 month old string bean was at our local shelter and his time was drawing nigh, so I figured I'd bring him home to foster.  Plus, no one else seems to know bird dogs...

It's a good thing DH has a soft spot for setters.  This guy is a total sweetheart/goober.  He's leggy, no training, total puppy, but so soft and cuddly and much calmer than a GSP.  He has a super underbite, and you have to carry a towel at all times because of all the drool (sooooo nasty, never had a dog like this).  He seems to love lying on dirty clothes (he hit the jackpot at our house, by golly) as well as chew bones and playing rambunctiously.  I have to keep telling DH he's not staying with us, and then DH will walk around cradling him like a baby saying things like "He's ours now!"  HAH!  Funny...

And now, PICTURES!

Re: It's Official... I'm a Sucker for Spots

  • He is so handsome! Adorable! Have fun with him Smile
  • I think that face could make anyone weak for spots.  He's adorable!

    image. "Wanna go for a run, Momma?"
  • HE IS SO FURRY! I LOVE IT!

    All those cow-lick type areas/tuffs. So. Freaking. Adorable. 

  • Awww, he really is such a cutie! All legs with that stick-out-y fur all over! He does look goofy and loveable, and his coat is such a pretty pattern. Enjoy him while he's with you, I bet he'll find a home quickly (much to your husband's dismay!)

    Sounds like her H isn't going to let him get adopted! ;)

  • Awww! How cute is he?!

    Glad he got to go home with you guys for a while! Hopefully with some training he'll be adopted in no time! (That is, if your H will let him back out the door, haha!)

  • Awww, he's beautiful!  Definitely looks like some English to me.

    If he's in the market for a lovely tri-color Super Setter friend, Lucy's available ;)!  

    Enjoy... he looks like a sweetie!

    Yep, he's a purebred English Setter.  He's a really tall one, not the short field setters or Llewellins we often see around here, so despite the underbite I have a feeling that someone who sort of knew ES's bred him.  I've sent out a few emails to folks around me that breed, in case he's one of theirs. 

    And I'm sure he'd love a buddy like Lucy :) I'll put him in a mail for you if you want :) lol

  • :)!   So cute, even drooly!   Wish you guys a great time with him. While I like the look of setters and spaniels, I always thought I was flexible and ?ber breed specific.  After Lucy though, no going back!  All ES all the time!!
