He is beautiful and expressive. I wish I was so limber. 6^)

Jan, don't fret, there's always a good nap in the sun!
Diederick, is this your pooch? A beautiful animal!

Our Kiki dog would like his, I suppose, such a handsome fellow!

Thanks, Elaine!!

No Virginia, he belongs to my brother-in-law but I seem to be his favourite affection-target.
When he hears my car entering the road I can see him jumping up and down behind the gates already. Then, when I enter the property... I get it all! He is such a lovely dog!

As I mentioned to Virginia, Leenam, Jan is a fantastic dog and, as Elaine already noticed, he is very expressive showing clearly all his emotions which are usually very positive. When he wants to show me something he takes me by the wrist and pulls me gently towards what he wants me to see or do.

Oh, what a great German shorthaired pointer! I used to house sit for someone who had a dog like this. Great shot!

Eki said...

Oh poor, Jan. He looks bored ....

Does he know how to hunt for Porcinis???

Diederick Wijmans said...

Thank you all for your kind comments and have a relaxing weekend!!

Unfortunately not, Marie!! He is a very good game-bird hunter, though...
