Rich Wentworth’s 3-year-old German shorthaired pointer, “Dixie,” has had to overcome many issues in her brief hunting career, including an underdeveloped kidney and emergency surgeries. But overcome she has. “She’s become a well-trained, outrageously birdy GSP,” Wentworth says, “I hunt with her religiously here in Colorado and she is the best bird dog I have ever owned.” Wentworth says he and “Dixie” hunt upland game and waterfowl almost every weekend of the season.
