Good Fishing Dogs

Kim and I are anxiously awaiting word whether or not we will get one of the pups out of a just born litter of German Shorthairs that we have a deposit on.  It got me thinking of my first fishing dog Rocky. 

He was a great fishing dog who loved going fishing with my dad and me. When we got fish on he'd  investigate each fish and give them a little lick before we released them. 

My dad has a young Shorthair named Bucky and he's on his way to being a good fishing dog in his own right. 

I think the most important thing to being a good fishing dog is looking good in the drift boat with a big smile on your face.  I'm looking forward to getting a new pup and all the days we'll spend on the water together.
