Travis German Shorthaired Pointer Vancouver, BC

Travis is a pure bred German Short Haired Pointer. Age 9, he
has had a few different homes and now we want to find him
a final family where he can live out his life surrounded with love.

His first owner put lots of time in to train him for agility
competitions, and he remains a well trained animal with excellent
recall and good heel, stay and wait.
He loves obstacles, ramps and tunnels.
Well used to even the smallest children, he can sometimes however
not know his own strength or size, so little kids may not be best for Travis.

We are not sure how he is with cats, but is generally fine with other dogs
and all people.
His trademark greeting is to lean in, and sit on your feet.

Although a little slower these days, he proved himself to be an
excellent dog as a mountain biking, and/or trail running companion.
Not keen on water, he has never swam! Wade at best.

 Travis is Very food focused, he can unfortunately be tempted to take from
counters, and all temptations should be removed. On the other hand this will make
additional training very easy for his new owners!


He would do very well with regular exercise, and was a instant
success with the tracking courses he participated in a few years ago.

He has been well cared for and very much loved. Is in excellent
health, and presents no resistance when nails needed clipped, or any
wounds needed cleaned.
Travis is a very happy dog, and will make a great new companion!


Update! June 16, 2013


Travis has some mild separation anxiety. We are looking for a home with another dog to keep him company. He will bark for a while when he is left alone.
