Bento


Bento was a german wirehaired pointer. Born Juni 1990. I was there when Bento and the 6 other puppies were born. They were born next door, and I could follow them growing.
The puppies few days after birth. Bento is exact in the middle with his head resting Biancas body.
Bento soon made contact, and wanted to live here. When Bento showed up to become cryptocid (missing one testicle), the pyppy buyers interest in him faded. 12 weeks old, he moved in. Bento has never been used for hunting, even if he is a hunting dog. He demands a lot of attention, and is very active, still at an age of 12 years. The picture below was taken on his 12 years birthday, playing with the flyball machine.
Bentos best play was everything that includes his orange ball, and getting things, not least shoes in matching pairs. Bentos greatest love was Sascha, an irish setter †1998.
