Dave's German Shorthairs 3 |

The goal of breeding is to produce pups better than their parents, and with Billy and Rosie I succeeded - even though Annchen was remarkable. They both combined beautiful conformation with unsurpassed bird hunting talent, both on quail and waterfowl. |

Billy posing!! Good conformation means that a dog is built right to hunt all day long. It isn't just about beauty - though that doesn't hurt either. |

Not only were Billy and Rosie talented hunters and beautiful dogs, they had great personalities as well. Though Rosie is sadly gone, Billy keeps the Von Geldie tradition alive today. |

It's in there!! Billy pointing a dead bird before moving in for a retrieve. I could tell it wasn't alive by the angle of his tail (it's higher on live birds). . |
