Is he advertised on petrescue? A rescue group might list him there on your behalf. There is also some great info on there on how to advertise.

You might also want to add some info on pointer personalities - most people don't know what pointers are and what a gun dog is.

Good point, but I'd actually rather he be rehomed with someone who does have an idea.

Is it worth speaking to breed rescues in other states to see if they have had any enquiries from people who may be local to you??? Long shot I know, but you never know if there isn't a breed rescue in your state maybe there are some people enquiring out of state.

It's worth a try! I will enquire.

Is he advertised in the mature dogs available here??

Yes.

I no longer have an account as I don't breed any more but he's under his breeder's name.

Old member here and previous reg breeder/exhibitor/rescue person. If you know who I am please don't post identifying details publicly.

Due to some unfortunate life circumstances that happened suddenly and are beyond my control I need to rehome one of my dogs. I have three beautiful dogs and can keep two dogs and have had to make a choice to keep the older two who wouldn't cope with rehoming so well. So save your horrible comments, I've seen it all on here over the years and am not interested. I am the person in the best position to decide what happens here, end of story. After many months of soul searching this is the conclusion I have come to.

The dog was recently desexed in preparation for rehoming. I kept him entire only for exhibiting purposes. His breeder knows and is helping look for homes. She knows just how much I adore this dog. He is a beautiful gun dog who has just turned 4 and there is no rescue group for this breed in my state. The rehoming isn't urgent, at least not in the next 3 months and he will only go to the very best home which I will check out myself. However I am concerned about lack of response to advertising so far. He's not a genuine rescue case (well not rescue as I know it to be anyway) so I'm after suggestions on where to advertise him that will attract responsible and loving pet owners. I would prefer he be rehomed locally as I consider any rehoming to be initially a trial until everyone is happy, and flying dogs back and forth if things don't work out is expensive and not in the best interest of the dog.
