Grandpa And Hunting Dogs

My grandpa has had dogs all of his life. I have loved them and tried to be friends when each and every one of them.

Grandpa really liked spending time with his dogs. I remember Old Ruby, she was a Beagle Harrier. She was one of the sweetest dogs grandpa ever had.

The dogs had less to do as grandpa got older. He got Daisy and stopped shortly thereafter.

The love of my grandpa for his dogs was clear to anyone that noticed. Each of the dogs that grandpa had over the years knew it was loved. Grandpa always treated his dogs well.

My cousin has dogs on his property. I didn’t actually realize, until he told me, that there are so many different breeds of dogs that are dogs.

My cousin has four dogs and they are all American Water Spaniels. I had to go home and look them up on the internet. The dogs were really very pretty and personable. They just didn’t seem like the dogs that grandpa had always had.

I saw some dogs last fall near my home. They were very unusual. I had never seen Cretan Hounds before and they looked



a little weird with little heads.

I went to a dog show a couple of years ago that reminded me of my grandpa and his dogs. There was an English Foxhound there and it was just so striking with its tri-color coat. I wish that grandpa had been there with me to see it.

I found on a website detailing dogs and their breeds that Labrador Retrievers are used as dogs. I find that hard to believe that these incredibly cuddly dogs chase prey. I personally don’t know anybody that uses Labrador Retrievers for dogs.
