Staunch German Shorthairs

We spend so much time worrying about the future that we forget our dogs are already living in their favorite moment right now, right beside us.

They don't know about tomorrow, and maybe that's their greatest gift to us—a reminder to just be here, today, with the ones we love.

Give yours an extra belly rub or an extra minute on the walk tonight just because.

What's your dog's absolute favorite thing to do in the entire world?

Well it’s been a week so I guess it’s time for a life update for us at Staunch. We were contacted by the owner of a male out of our 2018 Shotgun litter. He expressed his love for his dog but also, due to some significant life changes, he didn’t feel like his dog was getting the attention or exercise he needed. He remembers the contract and contacted us first about whether we would be interested in him. We never thought we would get an opportunity to own a Dallas puppy, let alone a Dallas x Annabelle puppy. But here we are and he reminds us so much of Dallas between his looks and his behaviors. Except his ability to swim. That comes from Annabelle for sure. 😅 Here’s to welcoming R***r back into the home!

Despite all of Dallas’ blood work, labs, scans, and biopsies not pointing towards cancer, when they opened him up for surgery his intestines were fully involved as well as his spleen and lymph nodes. He was in the end stages of cancer. Looking back there may have been a minor sign or two. Nothing alarming. It’s not fair and the only sense we can make of it is that Annabelle needed him more than we did. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers the past two weeks.
