Dixie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dixie
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: German Shorthaired Pointer
Home: Denver, Colorado, USA
 
   This is Dixie - "Triple D" which is short for Dixie Doodle Dogger if you really must know. Dixie is a very proper lady, and is always ready to cross her feet or pose for the camera. In this picture Dixie is in her favorite location in the world, in her basket to sunbathe in the morning sun. She generally gets dragged around in her basket to align with the incoming sun through the window, as she tired of moving her basket herself. When she is not lying in the basket, she is sleeping on the bed or on the couch if there is a blanket laid out for her - the leather is too slick!

    Although Dixie is a bird dog, she has taken a liking to squirrels that we could not break. Luckily she does not have a mean streak and would prefer to sit and point at the squirrels as they run around in the backyard and steal birdseed. In fact, several times when the squirrels actually got within a few inches of her she was tough would not break her point and let her parents know they were actually friends and would play together when she was alone.

    Dixie loves to swim, camp, hike and fish... and is pretty much a mountain girl. Dixie has been the best dog in the world, and we look forward to many more years of fun in the sun and mountains with her. Since she is a pointer - we know she has about ten more years of puppy life in her to keep us busy.
