Lancaster,

Sorry to hear of your Carl's passing. These old fellows so enjoy their families when old, and are so loving and appreciative. Love their families so much. Not very useful anymore but they are retired and deserve being spoiled.

13 1/2 years, a good innings for Carl.

Blitzen is upset when he does not get his share of vintage matured cheddar cheese at the end of any meal. My little Gromment.

My Blitzen is now one month short of 13 and has been on and off arthritis medicine for three months. His back legs and hips give out sometimes, and even the front legs. Needs lifting into cars definitely the 4WD and tractors.

What a lovely little Vizla, is Andreas. I can see he is an eager little beaver!

What sort of hunting do you use him for? Boar, tracking deer, retrieving, does he point? Shotgun shooting over him as a pointer?

I was originally considering GSPs. GWPs, Weimarers, Vizlas as a choice of dog for hunting and a friend at other times.

Blitzen is to get a Donder in mid December I hope. Another GSP, a young boy. I think an eager crazy mad energetic GSP puppy will be a shock to both of us!!! Hard to get good puppies as every 'tard is trying to get a puppy now. To add to their vege gardens and TP supplies. I think I am in line for one at this breeder if one is suitable to me. Been waiting a year! But must get my name down at another SA Adelaide Hills breeder - where Siegfried came from - and the Victorian Euchuca breeder where Blitzen came from. The Victoria Berlin Wall has or is coming down now, so can possibly travel to Victoria.

Great to see your lovely puppy.
