Elliot

Elliot is the newest member of the Dunow Bunch.  We are the luckiest of families to have gotten him.  He is two years old.  Mother was a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dad was a German Short Hair Pointer.  I probably got that backwards.  Oh well, he's a beautiful dog.  

Elliot is so well behaved.  Izzie and Elliot get along wonderfully.  The cat's can't stand either dog so it doesn't matter.  My little Guinea Pig men are up on a table, out of harms way now.  One big happy family.

 The reason the his last owner were waning to get rid of him was because he acquired a taste for their chickens.  This isn't good for a hunting/working/bird dog.  They were actually going to shoot him.  
So know we have a very loving energetic dog.  I'm amazed at how smart he is.
 We won't be using him for hunting or retrieving birds.  I will be doing some field training with him, just to keep him happy and mentally stimulated.  Elliot is with us just to enjoy life and to be loved.
Something in which he wants.  So for right now, we're trying to get him fattened up a bit, worming him and giving him lot's of affection.
Oh, and poor Izzie.  Elliot is making her so tired!
