Otis

NV's Inevitable Presence JH

Photos of Otis available with upgrade.

Otis was born on December 24, 1993. We acquired Otis when he was two and a half years old. He had never seen a bird prior to coming to live with us. Otis didn’t point his first bird until he was almost three and a half, but once he figured out what he was supposed to do in the field he made rapid progress. He became a very accomplished hunting companion. Otis never quite attained his Show Championship, having retired from the show ring with twelve points including a three point major. Otis was probably the best teacher Sandy had in learning how to handle a show dog. He knew what to do and it wasn't long before Sandy was the only one he would let handle him. Otis left us January 3, 2006. We still enjoy telling "Otis" stories.
