Arrival Story:
Gypsy came to us from grandparents in Pueblo that socialized the puppies with their grandkids. She comes from a maternal line of crazy canines; Daisy, her mom jumped out of a speeding car window (and survived fine!) Gypsy is a great family dog.

Bio:
My husband was laid off when Gypsy joined our household. He had previous experience training German Shorthairs. He spent a great deal of time with her and she is super smart. Gypsy is whistle trained for hunting and has a "soft mouth" for retrieving birds. I have trained most of her "show-off" tricks with little effort (and tasty treats!). She can be a little stubborn at times but what a personality!
