I sure do miss my German Shorthair. Tempted to get another but I don't know if I have the patience for how active they are as puppies. I would love to find a senior female GS.
Check with the rescue league.

Check with the rescue league.
We have been looking, however, our old age seems to get in the way. The adoption agencies question what happens when we pass away. My only answer is that it is highly unlikely that we both will pass simultaneously. Some of the rescue leagues are more difficult than children protective services when it comes to adopting a child. They also want fenced backyards, but our backyard is 15 acres, and I wouldn't leave a dog out in the backyard because of the other wild creatures that roam the land. We have coyotes, porcupines, skunks, fishers, bears, and a few that I probably haven't listed.

It may look that way for those who haven't been involved. I can assure you we needed more than a backyard fence.

Things are always more complicated for those with direct involvement. A good example is chickens. Until I married into a family that had an "egg farm" and learned more, I assumed that it was super simple. Just put corn and water in one end of the chicken. Eggs and poop came out the other. :)

:ROFLMAO: Our neighbor has a German Short-hair, name Luna... (which is short for Lunatic, very fitting name!)
Mine was very laid back and gentle. She loved to be outside but never went very far. She would love to lay in the edge of the woods when it was hot out, and her brown color made her difficult to see or find. All I had to do was to put a handful of dog food in her stainless steel bow and give it a quick up and down so she could hear it. She would appear instantly. She wasn't that good about coming when you called her because she preferred to be outside unless it was cold or snowing. Then she wanted to be in front of the pellet stove.

I have a 4 year old Lab female, and she is a big love!
My son has a male German Shorthair the same age, and he is a great animal.
There is a HUGE difference in activity though.
The Shorthair only stops to sleep, the Lab sleeps all day.
They are BOTH wonderful animals.
The Shorthair actually begs to have his teeth brushed.... with meat flavored toothpaste.
