These are just a few of the highlights of owning a German Shorthair Pointer. Enjoy!

All dogs owned or bred out of Phil Urban's River Ridge Kennel
Three generations afield in pursuit of anything that flies.
(Generation #3 was taking the pictures that day.)
This is where the majority of our training/hunting takes place.
My wife's family's farm near Greensburg, PA.
Gracie with her Junior Hunter ribbons.
Each orange ribbon was for passing one day.
The red/white/blue ribbon was for earning her AKC Junior Hunter title.
By 12 months, Gracie was already proving herself as a hunting dog.
Yet she still continues to mature into a more refined hunting machine each time I take her out.
Retrieving yet another quail.
At this point, I am ruined from ever hunting with any dog that will not both point AND retrieve...

Gracie at 3 months old investigating a strange, bird-like scent...
Gracie at 7 weeks old. For me, this is day 1 with a pointing dog.
