Lovely dogs.

I have GSPs but also love these gruff looking wirehairs as well. For me I worry about burrs and prickles in the hair which in summer might be a huge problem.

Elsa lying on top of Kate. That was a family trait of my Blitzen and his mother as well. They love to sit on or lie on top of other dogs and of course humans. I think Elsa will be a dog which loves to be held all her life.

Big little monster Elsa.

Or seeing the shoes, little girl!

Kids need a puppy and dogs to love and play with. Adults need kids to keep the puppies entertained.

While I want a new dog, I dread the puppies need for attention. And probably so would 12 year old Blitzen who has been "dogless" his whole life. Though he always gets along well with other dogs.

Ripp, how does Kate take to the new puppy? Any jealousy? How to you handle Kate and the attention needed for the puppy?
