Sarge is a German Short Haired pointer. I drew this Portrait and donated it for a silent auction at an up coming Easter Seals fundraising event in Ephrata Washington. I will talk more about both this event and Sarges breed shortly, but first I am going to quote Sarges owner Maria as she shared some fun info about him for this blog post:
“This is Sarge he is a beautiful, sweet, affectionate and hyper German short haired pointer. He is an awesome hunting dog. He is 3 years old and is our pride and joy. And honestly our baby. This picture he is begging for an ice cube (his favorite treat) He came up and rested his cute little face on my knee. The look here says ( Oh please MaMa, please can I have a coobey ) That’s what we call them. He is very good at pleading with those adorable eyes. Sarge is the best dog ever. I have never liked dogs ever. My husband said ( I am getting a hunting dog) and I tell you he has melted my heart. Such an affectionate breed, very social and eager to please. And Boy can they hunt!! Sarge got his name from……….He was made, born and lived for the first 6 weeks in the back of a Army surplus store! Hence the name. It seemed to fit. Not a mean bone in this dogs body. And the most beautiful sight I have ever seen, I really do mean this, is when he gets to do what he was bred to do. HUNT! Brings me to tears to see the utter bliss on his face when he is running in the brush :)”
Well said Maria! Sarge’s social attributes and friendly fun disposition was well stated above. Here are a few more facts about The German Short Haired Pointer:
He was bred in Germany as an “all Purpose” hunting dog. His origins include Old Spanish Pointer, English Foxhound and Bloodhound. He has a keen nose, excellent endurance, a water repellent coat and even webbed feet! This all adds up to an fine retriever in the water. He is able to hunt under any conditions, can be trained to point, as is considered one of the best and most versatile of the sporting breeds.
As I mentioned earlier, this piece was donated for a silent auction at an Easter seals fundraiser. This event is taking place on saturday April 21st, 2012 in Ephrata Washington and is sponsored by the nice folks at the Ephrata Safeway. The event also will include a spaghetti feed and some other fun activities, with all of the proceeds going to the great charitable organization of Easter Seals. For information on this event please contact the Ephrata Safeway, a very nice lady named Janice can answer any questions you may have. here is the Safeway stores number: 509-754-4441
I was honored to be asked to help with this fine cause. I had a great time drawing, and learning about Sarge. He is a wonderful dog and as you can tell he is blessed with a loving family. Thank you Janice and Maria, and best of luck to you, and to your families and of course to Sarge as well!
Thank you for reading My Pet Portraits In Charcoal Blog. Please share this Blog Post with anyone who may be interested. And if you are in the Ephrata/Wenatchee area please consider supporting the Easter Seals at Janice’s event. A good day to all, and of course to all of your pets as well! Cy
