My first dog that was really mine was called Doc. He was a registered English Pointer. He went everywhere with me. Although we always had hounds and birdogs around the place because my Dad and another man ran a bird dog kennel, and training facility. So I always had lots of pups to socialize, but old Doc was my first personal dogs. He wasn't worth much as a bird dog becasue I spoiled him rotten, but he was a fur catcher, coons, bobcats, badgers (SKUNKS) LOL!
He didn't discriminate much and I can remember the scolding I got coming home smelling like skunk and my Mom would make me and dog lather up with Heinz tomato juice, and hose us down. Old dog lived to be over ten years old but was poisened by a nasty old hermet neighbor who blamed him for killing his chickens. Of course he was right Doc hated chickens but I sure had a mad on for a long time for that old man for killing my pal doc.

Same thing my mother says! LOL He was a bloodhound named Hector. I used to hold his tail and he dragged me around.

My first dog was a Basset Hound Named slobbers great dog miss her.

My first dog was named VESI. The "I" was added on to the end just for sound recoginition. The VES stands for Venor Ergo Sum which, in latin, means...I Hunt Therefore I Am.

Vesi was a Brittany and will be missed greatly, but never forgotten by me any way.
