Blitz was a Colorado bird dog that passed away 8 weeks ago, and as owner Rick Fitzpatrick says, “He was just an awesome machine of a hunting dog and will be dearly missed as another season gets underway.”
As a homage to Blitz, Rick will be carrying Blitz’s collar attached to his hunting vest as he walks the fields this season.
German Shorthaired Pointer Traits: Like the other German pointers (the German wirehaired pointerand the less well known German longhaired pointer), the GSP can perform virtually all gundog roles. It is pointer and retriever, an upland bird dog and water dog. The GSP can be used for hunting larger and more dangerous game. It is an excellent swimmer but also works well in rough terrain. It is tenacious, tireless, hardy, and reliable.
