Coffee and Arlo

Coffee's best pal is another German Shorthaired Pointer named Arlo. We were already pretty much set on getting a pointer of some sorts (there are different kinds, the English Pointer or just plain Pointer, and the German Shorthaired as well as the rarer German Wirehaired Pointer). Then our friend Haven came back from Arizona with an adorable GSP puppy. I was won over, especially after the breeder in Arkansas where we had a deposit on a Pointer puppy did us wrong. So I got on the internet, found Coffee's breeder and the rest is history.
Arlo is much bigger than Coffee -- she's still pretty young in this photo but today, full grown, she is about 50 pounds while Arlo is about 80. He's also from a serious hunting kennel and will run, swim and play fetch for hours on end while she's all show -- bred to look good. Still, they seem to sense they're the same kind of dog and love to play together. Arlo's owner says Coffee is the only dog Arlo likes.

Here's a link to a YouTube video of them playing together at my house in the summer of 2008.
